Learning Physics and Students' Science Engagement as Mediated by Attitudes Toward Problem Solving

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of attitudes toward problem solving in learning physics and science engagement among the 300 students in Jose Abad Santos II District, Division of Davao Occidental. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized, Statistical analyses included mean, correlation, regression, mediation analysis and medgraph using the Sobel test. Data were gathered using validated and adapted survey instruments: the Difficulty in Learning Physics Scale, Students’ Science Engagement Scale, and Attitudes Toward Problem Solving Scale. Results revealed a high level of learning Physics. Students also demonstrated high levels of science engagement and positive attitudes toward problem solving. Significant relationships were found among learning physics, science engagement, and problem-solving attitudes. Further analysis showed that attitudes toward problem solving partially mediate the relationship between learning physics and science engagement accounting for 17.61% of the total effect. The study concludes that although Physics presents considerable challenges, positive attitudes toward problem solving help sustain students’ engagement in science.
