physics learning techniques to make it easier

Again this question. "How can I get physics?" Or "Physics really hard?" The question almost always raised by the students, when I teach physics. Maybe it's destiny for me as a physics teacher. Somewhat middling when semester yesterday taught geography; this question is almost never ejected. Or maybe it's because I'm the one who is not very good at teaching him. And to the question until now there is no answer that I catapult the most just comment a little, but I think not to the core of the problem. The only answer to this cliche: "physics is not difficult, as long as ...." Well here lies the problem, I assume that the circumstances, skills and talents of learners are the same, but difficult and easy it is relative. Physics that can be considered difficult, and can also be considered easy. Too many factors that affect it. Do not believe? Just ask our friend that the test time yesterday can be 100.00. Although they get a perfect score, still some of them replied that physics is still difficult. So relative right?
Because of all the relative that, until now also difficult to determine the level of physics difficulty. Either hard, either. Because I do not want to be lied to say physics is easy, but physics is a difficult lesson! Lha? Yup, physics is indeed a difficult lesson. Why should it be said to be easy? But if I say physics is difficult, sometimes I also considered arrogant and at the same time lie, for some questions asked to learners, I sometimes seem easy to answer.

here are some points for easy learning of physics lessons ;

Understand in advance the subject matter or the material to be studied
That is, understand first, what the heck will be learned? What is the point? There is no relevance to our lives? If that has not been answered, ask the teacher first; because it could be forgotten. Or can also find information from books or other reading. Because, like a war; we do not know what kind of enemy we will face. As more and more we get information about our enemy, we will easily subdue it, and make it our partner to coalesce to face other enemies. (hm, not meant to teach politics).

Connect the material to be studied with its known supporting material
Sometimes some teachers (again teachers), often forget to associate new material with old material; but both are closely related. It is as if the material to be learned is independent of the already-existing material. So, if there is new material, ask the teacher, about what it relates to the past. This will make it easier for us to draw a common thread between the two.

Do not memorize the formula, but understand where it came from (the concept).
It is understood that the first formula from the initial concept to the final formula. The goal is that we understand where the formulas originated, since the underlying concept till the final formula, except that some formulas are already definitions and these formulas are usually very simple. Once we understand the formula, it is very easy to memorize the formula. In fact, based on my experience, we will not even need to memorize the formula again, because it will memapal by itself. Remember, we should not rush to memorize the formula, whatever it is. Indeed, sometimes some teachers do not explain the concept of physics well, but only offered formula. Indirectly we are told to memorize the formula. Sometimes again they call the superlah formula, the king's formula, this formula is, with a cool name to draw. This is bad! they set us up. Seriously ... we will often get stuck when we find a problem that does not match any of the formulas. Though we have a lot of rote collection of formulas.

Learn from the most basic levels of the material being studied.
Usually (especially in high school lessons), the seemingly complicated formulas of physics actually come from simple concepts. For example the concept of style, or about energy, is derived into the required final formula. Learn the concepts first, before going to the final formula. Well, some teachers (sorry not all) often explain or teach material from the easy, usually there is relevance to the material before or later, then to the high level material.

Practice understanding by doing the questions, and start with the easiest questions
cartoon physics 6When facing the enemy, we need a name of courage. For the coward, he is said to have lost before fighting. Therefore try the moves (understanding) that has been given by the teacher to try to conquer some problems. Try brave. Starting from the problems that we consider or look easy. If we are in doubt, ask to choose with the teacher, what should we do first. Victory after victory in conquering some questions makes it a difficult experience to forget. And this will be an added ecstasy.
