THE EFFECT OF PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES ON PHYSICS STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL IN KUMBOTSO LOCAL GOVERNMENT, KANO
Abstract
The research investigates the effect of problem solving techniques on physics students’ academic performance in senior secondary school in Kumbotso local government, Kano.
Teaching problem solving is one of the most important topics of physics education, it is also the field where students have the most problems. While trying to solve physics problems, students often express that they understand the questions, they know the laws of physics on which the problem is based they have solved many similar problems, but the new problem is different from the previous problems therefore they cannot solve the problem. The aim of this study is to present an overview problem solving studies in physics education according to student level, methodology, and development of the problem-solving strategies usage
