Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of perception of physics by schoolchildren. Based on the questionnaire, interviews with teachers and analysis of academic performance, the key factors influencing students' interest in the subject were identified: complexity of the material, insufficient visualization and psychological barriers. The results of the study show that high school students often perceive physics as a complex and inapplicable discipline, while younger students show greater interest due to visual experiments and interactive teaching methods. Particular attention is paid to the role of modern technologies, such as interactive simulations and digital educational platforms, which help increase motivation and engagement of students. It is also noted that the use of experimental teaching methods significantly improves the understanding of complex physical concepts. The article offers recommendations for optimizing the teaching of physics, including the introduction of interactive methods, strengthening the connection between theory and practice, and creating a comfortable educational environment that reduces the fear of mistakes and the complexity of the material. The results of the study may be useful for teachers, methodologists and curriculum developers interested in improving the quality of physics teaching in comprehensive schools.
