Methodological Aspects of an Integrated Approach in Teaching Physics
Keywords:
integrated approach, physics education, interdisciplinary learning, teaching methodology, STEM, student engagement.Abstract
The modernization of education systems requires the adoption of innovative pedagogical approaches that enhance students’ cognitive engagement and interdisciplinary thinking. This study explores the methodological aspects of implementing an integrated approach in teaching physics. The research examines how integrating physics with other disciplines—such as mathematics, technology, and real-life applications—improves conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Using a mixed-methods approach, including classroom observations and performance analysis, the study identifies effective strategies and challenges in applying integration in physics education. The findings indicate that integrated teaching enhances students’ motivation, critical thinking, and ability to transfer knowledge across contexts. The paper concludes with methodological recommendations for educators aiming to implement integration effectively.
