The Use of Strategies and How They Influence Strategies in Learning Physics

Every individual has their own learning strategies. The utilization of learning strategies always give a significant impacts on students' academic performance and conceptual understanding. The objective of this study is to explore the perception of learners on their use of learning strategies particularly for physics subjects in higher institutions. This research uses quantitative methodology with data collection using a questionnaire which consisted of 3 sections: cognitive component, metacognitive component and resource management component. A total of 104 students of the Foundation in Science and Foundation in Engineering from the Centre of Foundation Studies, UiTM Selangor Branch, Dengkil Campus participated in the survey. This study has substantial implications for academia in general as well as the subject of physics education. It contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering a comprehensive exploration of the general learning strategies that students employ in striving for success in physics subjects. The study's importance ultimately lies in its ability to narrow existing gaps in physics education, opening the door to practical solutions and enhancements that will help learners, educators, and the scientific community as a whole.
