EXPLORING THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE LOVE OF PHYSICS: A CASE STUDY AT THAI NGUYEN HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE GIFTED
Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore the factors influencing students' interest in physics at Thai Nguyen High School for the Gifted. Utilizing a survey methodology with structured questionnaires, the study gathered data from 120 students enrolled in grades 10, 11, and 12. The key findings reveal that the effectiveness of teaching methodologies, the quality and accessibility of learning materials, and the overall learning environment, including teacher enthusiasm and peer interactions, significantly impact students' enthusiasm for physics. Recommendations for improving students' interest include adopting interactive and active learning approaches such as flipped classrooms and practical experiments, enhancing the clarity and comprehensibility of learning materials, fostering a supportive classroom environment, effectively integrating educational technologies, and providing professional development for teachers to adopt innovative teaching methods. Conducted at a prestigious institution known for its academic excellence, this study aims to guide educators and policymakers in creating more engaging and supportive educational strategies that not only improve academic outcomes but also foster a sustained interest in science and technology among students.
