During the 1970s, concern that there was something wrong with physics teaching seemed to grow. Physics teaching appeared to lack the vital element (figure 1). It was increasingly recognised (or should I say recalled?) that the function of physics education was threefold; to educate in physics, through physics and about physics (Dobson 1985). The first of these is what traditionally consumes t...

This study was aimed at investigating the effect of teacher’s perception and students’ perception of physics classroom learning environment and how it affects their achievement in physics. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, a questionnaire was administered to two hundred and fifty (250) senior secondary school (SSS II) students selected randomly. The data collected were analysed ...

astrophysics is becoming now an integral part of general physics. considering the black hole theory ,which is a new and exciting branch of relativistic astrophysics, we see many connections between elementary particle physics and astrophysics. in this article we attempt to explain the development of star physics ,in an easy ,understandable manner. previous knowledge of relativistic theory or cl...

Research indicates that encouraging translanguaging can enhance learning in a range of contexts. However, there are few studies examining for among newcomers science education. This case study fills this research gap by what ways newcomer to the school uses practices with his classmate participate more fully linguistically diverse physics classroom, where neither teacher nor majority students s...

Abstract Scientific teleological explanations cite end states as causes to account for physical phenomena. Researchers in science education have noted that students can use ways are illegitimate, example, by implying inanimate objects acting intentionally. Despite such cases, several examples of legitimate explanation been described, and the explanatory form contexts biological has encouraged. ...

Physics education researchers developing predictive models using statistical techniques should articulate the data management procedures, model evaluation methods, and way results are defined communicated.
