ABSTRACT

The present work introduces a teaching learning sequence (TLS) aimed at familiarizing upper secondary school students with basic concepts related to physics laboratory instruction (e.g., measurement–uncertainty–average value), as well as training them to take measurements and process data. Specifically, the rationale behind the TLS, its structure, the findings from its implementation, and areas for improvement based on feedback from its application are presented. The difficulties encountered by students are discussed, and suggestions are made for educators based on these findings.
Keywords: physics laboratory, measurement, teaching physics, teaching learning sequence
