Popis: Summary Our experience in physics training of primary school teachers is briefly presented together with a project we prepared for the teaching of science in primary school. We suggest for training teachers a practicum‐based strategy which requires that they initially carry out experimental activities designed for their pupils and express their ideas and needs. Usually they meet difficulties similar to those revealed by children and ask to explore in more detail the topics tackled in the laboratory activity. The aim of the proposed approach is to help teachers understand basic physics concepts and realise the importance of taking into account the pupils’ conceptions in the teaching process.
