CHALLENGES OF STUDENTS IN SOLVING PHYSICS NUMERICAL PROBLEMS

Abstract

In contemporary educational scientific world students perceive physics to be a difficult and hard subject essentially because they undergo a lot of difficulties in solving physics numerical. Now a day, it is important to determine the causes of these difficulties. Many of the students who understand the physics concept might not do well numerical problems because they are unable to identify the relevant concepts or incapable to recognize the questions posed. Further research should explore whether a framework for students difficulties during problem solving can be constructed. Such a framework is helpful for categorizing students’ weakness through that differentiated learning may take place. What is the main cause of these obstacles? Do students use suitable methods and strategies for solving physics tasks? Do students know what methods or strategies should be used? As we authors imply four steps for solving numerical problems.
