Physics subject is very important for scientific and technological development of any society. However, teaching of physics in our secondary schools has been found wanting. This is clearly depicted by the poor performance in the subject both at the school level and in the national examinations. Consequently, there has been low enrollment in the subject in comparison to other sciences.

Produktbeschreibung
Physics subject is very important for scientific and technological development of any society. However, teaching of physics in our secondary schools has been found wanting. This is clearly depicted by the poor performance in the subject both at the school level and in the national examinations. Consequently, there has been low enrollment in the subject in comparison to other sciences. There is therefore a need to look for new teaching strategies that may improve the physics performance in schools. One of the modern teaching strategies that has been found to enhance learning of science concepts is the constructivist teaching strategy. This study aimed to determine the effects of the constructivist teaching strategy on students' conceptualisation of the topic Electrostatics in the Form One physics syllabus. The findings of the study indicate that the use of constructivist teaching strategy enhances conceptualisation of the topic Electrostatics in physics better than the conventional teaching methods.
