FORMATIVE VALUES OF PROBLEM SOLVING TRAINING IN PHYSICS

摘要

Problem-solving is a dynamic principle of methodology designed to enrich students' activity. Dealing with real problems directs students' thinking process towards researching and acquiring new knowledge. Teaching by problem-solving ensures an active and interactive involvement of the students in the teaching process. In this paper, we presented the contribution made by the problem-solving teaching in Physics as far as developing students' cognitive and creative abilities is concerned, as well as in increasing their desire to study Physics more, beyond the limits of the school curriculum.
