Abstract

The study of problem solving skill has been performed on the subject of Modern Physics. The main objective of this study was to investigate the student’s ability in solving physics problems. Here 45 students were involved in this study. The students worked on two essay tests consisting of two numerical problems and two explanation questions within each test. The score distributions were then analysed qualitatively. It was found that the student’s achievement in the numerical problem is higher than that of the explanation question. The students possess a low skill in selecting and using the data.

Highlights

  • Physics concepts are often taught through explanation and assignment

  • Many students following physics courses, learn to solve different types of quantitative exercises, but are often unable to explain the meaning of their own numerical solutions to the problems

  • It has been realized that to avoid having students focusing on calculation, qualitative type of problem solving based on the physics concept is required [5,6]
