| Abstract |
The teaching of physics in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), generally, offers conceptual ideas to students by using equations, rather than core ideas of physics. Many researchers reported that this way of instruction made students memorization of scientific facts not understand the concepts, and they may have no motivation to learn physics. According to the mentioned problem, this study investigated 32 preservice physics teachers’ conceptual understanding on electric current and their physics motivation. The participants, 2nd year student teacher in Department of Physics, Faculty of Education, Savannakhet University, Lao PDR, undertake 12 two-tier conceptual questions and 25 Likert-scale questionnaire items for exploring their conceptual understanding and physics motivation, respectively. The result showed that most of the preservice physics teachers held alternative conceptions about (i) electric circuit, (ii) current law in series and parallel circuit, (iii) voltage law in series and parallel circuit, (iv) Ohm’s law. Based on the analysis of physics motivation, the highest score was relied on career motivation (CM), grade motivation (GM), intrinsic motivation (IM), self-determination (SDT), and self-efficacy (SEC), respectively. The main implications of this study is the rethinking of pedagogy used for teaching physics of electric current in order to improving the preservice physics teachers’ conceptual understanding and fostering their physics motivation. |
