Evaluate the Effectiveness of Teaching Physics through Teaching Knowledge about the Motion of the Thrown Object

Objectives of the study: Evaluate the effectiveness of lectures designed and apply teaching methods for Grade 10 Physics. Research Methods: We conducted research with 81 students (Grade 10). Tools used include: lesson plans teach knowledge about the movement of the thrown object and are taught over a 2-week period. We first design the scientific progression diagram for the teaching activity, and the next is a process for specific teaching about the motion of the thrown object. To evaluate the research results, we use a carefully designed Rubric to evaluate the physics teaching process in the way that I propose. Research results: I find that students are excited about this teaching method, they are interested in examining knowledge, applying knowledge to solving situations in life, narrowing the gap between theory and real life, and increase students' motivation and flexibility in problem solving.
