Sind Fachsprache und Fachwissen bezogen auf Physik unterscheidbar?

Physics language skills are part of German Educational Standards. Within the evaluation of the German Educational Standards, physics language skills are not assessed as a specific skill so far. Either in research on communication as science competence or concerning test-validity in science assessments, there is evidence, that scientific language might be considered as important skill besides scientific knowledge and general language skills. Thus, in this study we take a closer look at the interdependence of scientific language, scientific knowledge and general language. The presented results give a hint that physics knowledge, physics term-understanding (as part of scientific language) and general reading ability might be three skills.
