Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2024 in the subject Didactics - Physics, grade: A(0.4), , course: Philosophy of Education, language: English, abstract: This research entails an in-depth exploration of the challenges encountered by students when conducting physics experiments. Employing a descriptive survey approach, the study involved 270 students and 7 teachers in the Namoo District. From this pool, a sample of 120 students and 4 teachers was randomly selected for analysis. Numerous challenges were identified during the research, including difficulties in identifying physics apparatus, mounting equipment, recording accurate readings, and making careful observations during experiments. Additionally, issues such as insufficient laboratory apparatus, the absence of a standard physics laboratory, and inadequate supervision were prominent. Based on the findings, recommendations have been proposed to address these challenges. These include ensuring the provision of adequate laboratory equipment and establishing standard physics laboratory facilities. By implementing these recommendations, it is hoped that the practical learning experience for students in senior high schools can be improved in the Namoo District.
