STUDENT PERCEPTIONS ABOUT PHYSICS COURSE: AN EXAMPLE FOR HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

This study was carried out with the aim of determining the perceptions developed by high school students towards the physics course. The universe of the study is the students who take physics lessons at the 1st grade of high school in private and public schools in the central district of a medium-development Anatolian city. As a sample, a questionnaire was applied to a total of 548 students. Although this group has differences; They also have common denominators such as having the same formal educational background, being subject to the same central qualifying exams, and having been taking physics lessons for 6 weeks at the high school level. 7 attitude sentences with positive or negative meanings were determined for the viewpoint of the physics lesson, and with these sentences, a five-point Likert type scale was formed, starting from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree". The data obtained from the application were analyzed using the SPSS program and the reliability coefficient in terms of internal consistency of the applied scale was calculated as α=0.79. The findings obtained by the evaluation of the data and the suggestions for their solution is presented in the discussion and conclusion part.
