The Impact of Practical and Interactive Techniques on Physics Problem Solving

Abstract

Physics education plays a crucial role in developing students’ analytical and problem-solving skills, essential for understanding natural phenomena and technological processes. Traditional teaching methods often rely heavily on theoretical explanations and passive learning, which can limit students’ engagement and understanding. This paper explores the impact of practical and interactive teaching techniques on physics problem solving. It discusses various approaches such as hands-on experiments, interactive simulations, collaborative learning, and technology integration. The benefits, challenges, and implications for educators are analyzed, emphasizing how these methods enhance conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and student motivation. Finally, recommendations for integrating practical and interactive techniques into physics curricula are provided.
