Connectedness of Physics and Chemistry Courses in the Group of Terms

Abstract:

The present article shows the results of comparing the connectedness between the high school courses of Physics and Chemistry. The calculation of connectedness has been conducted within a graph model of inter-subject links developed by Gnitetskaya Tatyana N. The inter-subject space of the Physics and Chemistry courses is based on this model. The quantitative characteristics of this model are used to establish the hierarchy of physical terms used in Chemistry, and chemical terms used in Physics for all combinations of the Physics and Chemistry courses under review. Quantitative values of the connectedness between the courses of Physics and Chemistry have been calculated; they are used as foundation for selecting the courses of Physics and Chemistry based on the position of connectedness.
