Why Students Don’t Like Physics
(Muh. Syahrul Padli — co-Founder of an alternative learning platform named Bawah Pohon Science)
Many high school students scare of entering a physics class, due to the complexity of the material and the difficulty of mastering it. Physics is a difficult and challenging subject, but with the right approach, it can be an interesting and rewarding experience. Here are some of the reasons why some people don’t like for learning physics in high school.
First, some students simply don’t have the basic knowledge or skills necessary to understand the material. Physics requires a deep understanding of mathematics, which can be intimidating for some students. Additionally, physics often involves abstract concepts and theories that can be difficult to grasp without a strong foundation in mathematics.
Second, the problem-solving approach used in physics can be daunting. Physics problems often require multiple steps to solve and involve concepts that are not always easy to understand. This can make physics challenging, even for those with the good basic of mathematics.
Third, the material in physics classes can be very dense. Physics classes often cover a wide range of topics, which can make it difficult for students to keep up. Additionally, the pace of the class can be too fast for some students, who may find themselves overwhelmed by the material.
Finally, students may not feel motivated to learn physics because they think it’s no use in real life. Physics is not always seen as a practical subject, and some students may feel like it has no real-world applications. This can make it difficult for some students to stay engaged and interested in the material.
Overall, there are many reasons why some people may not enjoy learning physics in high school. For those who are struggling with the material, it may be helpful to seek out tutoring or other help to gain a better understanding of the material. Additionally, teachers can do their best to make the material more approachable and relevant. With the right attitude, anyone can have a rewarding experience learning physics.
