Educational philosophy of the physics program in the College of Science
The educational philosophy in the Bachelor of Physics program is based on preparing an independent student by applying the best practices in teaching the basics of physics and its applications, which aims to meet the needs of society and confront challenges through the application of physics concepts, and thus contribute to achieving the vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2030. Therefore, the program seeks to graduate competitive students. They promote scientific research through continuous learning, while maintaining values and ethics and encouraging students to continue and develop self-learning skills, effective communication, and teamwork. These features reflect the role of the faculty members by adopting effective teaching strategies and assessment tools using technological applications, in order to achieve the educational philosophy of the physics program.
To achieve this educational philosophy, the program is based on:
The Physics program adopts an advanced and comprehensive educational philosophy, the goal of which is not only to provide students with basic knowledge in physics and its applications, but also to prepare them to be active contributors to society and ready to meet the challenges of the times with innovative solutions. This approach focuses on:
- Preparing the independent student: The program encourages independence in learning and research, allowing students to develop their own abilities in critical thinking and problem solving.
- Applying the best educational practices: The program uses the latest teaching strategies and methods to ensure students have a deep understanding of physics and are able to apply this knowledge in different contexts.
- Meeting community needs and solving its problems: Emphasis is placed on problem-solving skills in line with local and global requirements and supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
- Promoting scientific research: The program encourages innovative and independent scientific research, with graduates seeking to contribute to the scientific community on a local and global level.
- Continuous development of the program: The program is constantly evaluated to ensure its quality and effectiveness, while seeking continuous improvements based on changes in society and in evolving fields of physics.
- Values and ethics in learning and scientific research: The program attaches great importance to high ethical and professional values in both learning and research.
- Strengthening the role of the teacher: by adopting educational strategies that reflect the educational philosophy of the program and improving evaluation methods to be more appropriate and effective.
- Relying on the English language in everything related to course content, and combining direct teaching methods, e-learning, interactive education, and project-based education.
