Impact Of Laboratory Work In Physics On The Academic Performance Of Students

In countries where laboratory-based teaching has deep roots, many educators consider practical work essential to their teaching practice. It is widely acknowledged that practical work not only fosters skill acquisition but also enhances conceptual understanding. Despite extensive research on factors influencing practical science education in economically developed nations, little research has been conducted on the conditions and influe […]

The aim of this study was to investigate the teacher-related factors affecting the academic performance of secondary school students in physics in Bureti Sub County, Kericho County. The selection of this topic was motivated by the persistently low performance in physics among secondary schools in this region over the past four years. The research objectives were: To assess how teacher commitment to covering the physics syllabus inf […]

This study aimed to examine issues concerning physics practical lessons in senior high schools within the Cape Coast Metropolis. Primary data were collected through a survey of 432 SHS physics students, whose responses formed the basis of this investigation. The principal research tool employed was a well-structured student questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were utilized to outline the demographic characteristics and motivations of […]

This study aimed to explore secondary school students' attitudes towards learning physics and how these attitudes influence their performance in internal and external examinations. It examined various aspects of their attitudes, including whether they perceive physics as difficult, their feelings during physics lessons, and their overall enjoyment of the subject. Five hypotheses were formulated for this study. The sample comprised 120 […]

This study explores the relevance of integrating mathematics into physics instruction in secondary schools. Through a systematic analysis of both document and literature reviews, the study examines the extent of integration, teachers' perspectives and practices, and students' perceptions and learning outcomes associated with integrated mathematics and physics education. The findings highlight the importance of integrating mathematical […]
