Thinking through Ethnoscientific Scenarios for Physics Teaching Implication for Curriculum Implementation
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The study was focused on Physics teachers’ perception on the use of ethnoscience learning experiences for the teaching of secondary school Physics and its implication for curriculum implementation. Six research questions and six hypotheses were posited for the study. The cross sectional survey research design was employed for the study. 243 secondary school Physics teachers in three Urban Local Government Areas Port Harcourt, Obio Akpor and Eleme and four rural Local Government Areas Ikwerre, Khana, Ahoada East and Ahoada West in Rivers State, Nigeria were selected using the non proportional stratified random sampling technique. Data collecting instrument was titled “Ethnoscience Learning Experience for Physics Teaching Questionnaire” with a coefficient reliability index of 0.86 was used to elicit response from the respondents. Data was analyzed using frequency count, mean, and inferential statics of t test at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that the following themes Interaction of Matter, Space and Time, Conservative Principle, Waves Motion without material transfer and Fields at rest and in motion can be taught using ethnoscience learning experiences while themes such as Energy quantization and duality of matter and Physics in technology cannot be taught using ethnoscience learning experiences. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that stakeholders and planners of the secondary school Physics curriculum should consider the integration of ethnoscience learning experiences in the Physics curriculum in order to clarify those abstract concepts in learning of Physics.
