“ENHANCING PHYSICS EDUCATION: EXPLORING THE EFFICACY OF INTERACTIVE TEACHING METHODS”
Keywords:
Interactive teaching, physics education, peer instruction, flipped classrooms, hands-on experiments, student engagement, active learning, teaching methodologies.Abstract
This scientific article explores the potential of interactive teaching methods in enhancing the understanding and engagement of students in the field of physics. Traditional didactic approaches to teaching physics have been widely criticized for their limitations in promoting deep comprehension and student motivation. In response to these challenges, this article delves into the advantages and methodologies of interactive teaching techniques, such as peer instruction, flipped classrooms, and hands-on experiments. By discussing recent research findings and case studies, we demonstrate the positive impact of interactive methods on student learning outcomes and provide insights for educators and institutions seeking to modernize their physics education strategies.
