Description
Physics education research has shown that attitudes and beliefs influence students' in-class performance. The study examined changes in undergraduate molecular biology and genetics (MBG) students' attitudes toward physics before and after their introductory physics course. A total of 24 first-year MBGE students (Female:18, Male:6) enrolled in the General Physics I course during the Fall Semester of 2019-2020 participated in the study. This study's findings indicate positive and negative changes in certain sub-dimensions of attitudes toward physics. Nevertheless, the current practices in introductory physics courses are not generally effective in positively changing life science students' attitudes.
