Exanimating Physics: Narratives of Lahore-Based Secondary School Academies’ Teachers and Students

Abstract

The goal of the qualitative narrative study was to determine whether there were any variations between Lahore-based academy teachers' and students' difficulties understanding Physics subject and those found in the literature. Open-ended of six Physics teachers and five students’ focus group interviews were conducted. The study's findings were in line with the body of literature. Due to poor mathematical and memorization abilities, and outdated teaching techniques, physics students experienced difficulties. Teachers of physics agreed that a lengthy and inadequately designed curriculum, as well as a lack of materials for practical labs were obstacles to effective education. Technology was rated by both students and teachers as the most significant and useful resource for resolving their instructional and learning concerns in the physics classroom. It is, however, require a government financial, technical, and training support for integrating technology into education.
