DIDFYZ is a well-established international conference that has been held since 1977. In 2025, it will be 24rd meeting. The conference will include invited lectures, oral presentations, and discussions on specialized topics. The objective of the conference is to discuss the results of academic research and exchange invaluable experiences in the field of physics education. The conference is organized by the Department of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Informatics, Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia. All sessions will be held at the Hotel Boboty situated in a picturesque village of Terchova in northeastern Slovakia neighbored by Mala Fatra National Park. Please send your comments and suggestions to the organizers through the email addresses: info@didfyz.sk |

Education reform and its reflection in physical education. |
| The basic goal of the DIDFYZ 2025 conference will be to reflect the development of scientific literacy and especially critical thinking as an umbrella of knowledge, methods and competences that the student should have in individual educational concepts.
Appropriate topics include |
|
1. Theoretical foundations of education reforms with an emphasis on developing science literacy and critical thinking |
|
Basic principles of reforms and their reflection in practice. |
|
Changes in the content of physical education under the influence of reform efforts. |
|
The balance of the content, scope and methods of physical education and its impact on the development of students critical thinking. |
| Results of comparing educational systems and reforms leading to them. |
|
Interdisciplinarity in the development of science literacy and critical thinking. |
| Knowledge and natural science skills. |
|
The conditionality of the development of critical thinking by the content and scope of physical education. |
| Science literacy and development of pupils cognitive processes. |
|
Transferring knowledge into practice and verifying the students ability to use new knowledge in life. |
| Changes in the approach to physical education at different levels and types of schools here and abroad. |
| Preparation of physics teachers to use new forms of teaching. |
|
2. Physical content and methods developing science literacy. |
|
Means and methods of education in physics reflecting the new paradigm of education. |
| Intersubject relationships as a stimulator for the development of critical thinking. |
| A physical experiment as a tool for verifying critical attitudes. |
|
Empirical knowledge and physical experiment in the development of key abilities of pupils. |
| The methodology of obtaining physical knowledge from various information sources and their influence on the development of critical thinking. |
|
Exploratory recognition and development of pupils personal abilities. |
|
Strategies and procedures for conveying concepts from physics. |
|
The first meeting of DIDFYZ conference was organized on November 24 - 25, 1977 in Bojnice. Subsequently, the meetings were held periodically, aiming at scientists working in the field of physics education. |
