Why don’t students like these subjects?

„We wrote many C and H letters. I have never known what these mean in the real world…”

„I can recite the second law of Newton, but I can’t imagine where I can use…”

„I couldn’t make contact between theories of science and my own world, and my own experience”

Conclusion:

Can’t see the koherncy between science subjects.

Miss the reference to his/her earlier science knowledge among science subjects.

We have a false idea about students’ prerequisite knowledge

Our teaching method is academically, absolutly not learnerfriend
