ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study to identify specific factors which either
generate or perpetuate preconceived notions about physics. Through
the use of 165, students identified their intrinsic response to physics
and the factors which influenced their respective responses.
The students who took part in the survey cited many different reasons
for their interest in physics or their dislike of physics. The largest
factor to encourage interest in physics was due to influence of
teachers. However, the largest cause of an irrational dislike or fear of
physics was induced by fellow classmates who would discuss the high
level of difficulty involved with the subject matter.
By possibly addressing these negative influences, more students could be given the chance to develop a genuine interest in physics.
