Identification of Factors Undermining the Teaching Learning Process in the Subject of Physics at Secondary Level in Pakistan

Abstract

    The teaching of Physics involves theoretical as well as practical skills development of students at the secondary school level. The main aim of the study was to identify the factors that undermine the teaching-learning process in the subject of physics. All secondary schools science teachers were considered as the population of the study. Two hundred (200) science teachers (100 each male and female) were selected as the sample of the study through stratified random sampling techniques. Data was collected through a self-developed questionnaire of reliability coefficient 0.84 and were analyzed using statistical tools. The unavailability of physics: teacher, laboratory, classrooms, related books were concluded undermining factors. Lake of physics teachers and unfavorable working environment were found dominant in male teachers school than female. The educational authorities with the collaboration of the community can play their role to overcome these undermining factors in the subject of

    Teaching Physics, Undermining Factors, Teaching-Learning Process, Laboratory, Implement Etc.
