USING PRACTICAL CONTENT EXERCISES IN TEACHING 'MOMENTUM' - PHYSICS 10 TO DEVELOP STUDENTS' ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of integrating practical exercises into the teaching of "Momentum" in Physics 10, aiming to enhance students' ability to apply theoretical knowledge and skills. Recognizing the gap between theoretical physics education and its application, this research employs a comprehensive methodology, combining theoretical research, expert surveys, pedagogical experimentation, and statistical analysis to explore the efficacy of practical exercises. The pedagogical experiments, conducted in a controlled classroom setting, involved practical tasks that required students to apply concepts of momentum to solve real-world problems. The findings reveal a significant improvement in students' understanding and application of physics principles, particularly momentum, highlighting the value of experiential learning in physics education. Students demonstrated enhanced problem-solving abilities, deeper conceptual understanding, and increased engagement and interest in physics. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of practical exercises in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, suggesting that such an approach not only facilitates a better grasp of scientific principles but also prepares students to tackle practical challenges effectively. The research advocates for the broader implementation of practical exercises in the physics curriculum, emphasizing their potential to transform traditional educational methodologies into more engaging and impactful learning experiences. Overall, this study contributes to the pedagogical discourse by affirming the critical role of practical exercises in developing competent and versatile learners capable of applying their knowledge and skills in diverse contexts, thus enhancing the quality of physics education and fostering a generation of problem-solvers equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
