Description

This study examines the dynamic nature of students' sense of belonging in physics (SoBP) and physics identity (PI) in relation to different physics topics and emotional states. Using a mixed-methods approach, pre-test and post-test surveys were conducted with 54 11th-grade students in a science high school in Turkey. Data collection is ongoing, covering topics such as motion and projectile motion, with future plans to include momentum, torque, etc. Findings aim to provide insights into the evolving nature of SoBP and PI, offering valuable perspectives for educators to foster inclusive and supportive learning environments.

Education level Age 15-18 (Secondary education)
Physics topic Other
Research focus Students’ identity, inclusion and wellbeing
Research method Mixed method (qualitative & quantitative)
