Importance Of Physics In Learning

Physics is one of the subjects taught at senior high school level (SMA). Physics is a subject that can foster students ' thinking ability that is useful for solving problems in everyday life. Physics is also a part of science that studies the phenomena and natural phenomena of inanimate objects in an empirical, logical, systematic, and rational manner involving scientific processes and attitudes. In the process of physics learning emphasizes on providing direct experience to develop the competence of learners so that learners can better understand the nature around scientifically. Learners are directed to critical thinking in order to identify problems, to process problems, and to summarize existing problems so as to gain a deeper understanding of the natural world.

The purpose of physics learning is to master the concepts of physics and interconnectedness and able to use scientific methods based on the scientific attitude to solve the problems faced so that more aware of the majesty of God Almighty. Given the importance of studying the subjects of physics, it is necessary to have an effective learning activities and fun for expected learning objectives can be achieved.

The development of theories in physics there are two directions that begin and end with observation or experiment. This development often takes a twisting path, has

Physical learning more often using teacher centered learning, learners only listen to explanations from teachers. This is what causes learners to be passive and less able to interact with each other. And learners are also less able to interact directly with the surrounding environment. In fact, physics learning is closely related to nature and phenomenon so it will be more effective if in physics learning is done interaction directly with nature so that the benefits of physics learning in everyday life can be directly perceived by
