THEME-BASED TEACHING APPROACHES TO PHYSICS IN HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

Theme-based learning is a form of exploration of concepts, ideas and units of knowledge, lesson contents…and topics. This has the interference, mutual similarity and based on the term of correlation between the theories and practice mentioned in the subjects or components of that subject (i.e. the path of integrating content from a number of units, lessons, and subjects which relates to each other.). The purpose of theme based learning is to make learning content become more meaningful and practical so that students will be able to work harder to acquire knowledge as well as apply it in practice. Theme based learning is a combination of traditional and modern teaching methods. In this method, teachers do not only teach by imparting (constructing) knowledge but also mainly guide learners to find out information and use knowledge to solve practical tasks by themselves. In this article, we cover the topic of creating theme-based physics contents in high school.
