Keywords:
physics education, psychological readiness, motivation, student-centered learning, cognitive activityAbstract
Physics plays a critical role in medical education by providing foundational knowledge, enhancing analytical and problem-solving skills, and supporting the effective use of medical technologies. For medical students, a strong understanding of physics is not merely an academic requirement but a practical necessity for clinical competence and scientific literacy. Integrating physics into medical curricula is therefore essential for preparing well-rounded and capable healthcare professionals. The article examines the necessity of considering students’ psychological readiness in the process of teaching physics. Since physics is a subject that requires abstract thinking and logical reasoning, students’ cognitive, emotional, and motivational characteristics play an important role in the teaching process. The article explains the concept of psychological readiness, analyzes the psychological difficulties encountered in physics lessons, and substantiates the role of the teacher in this process.
