This session explores two interrelated aspects of teaching and learning in Physics: student motivation and reflective practices among teachers. The first part examines how different factors influencing students' learning motivation affect their performance and achievements in Physics. It delves into intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, such as interest in the subject, perceived relevance, and teacher support, and how these factors contribute to student success. The session highlights strategies to enhance motivation, ultimately aiming to improve learning outcomes in Physics education.
The second part focuses on the reflective practices of Physics teachers, examining how self-reflection on teaching methods, student engagement, and assessment approaches can lead to improved instructional strategies and better student learning experiences. The session explores various reflective practices, such as journaling, peer observations, and feedback mechanisms, and their impact on fostering continuous professional development for teachers. Together, these discussions provide valuable insights into the dynamic relationship between student motivation, teacher reflection, and academic achievement in Physics.
