Reflections of Physics’ Graduate Student at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi on Teaching Methods about Vectors

This research aimed to study the reflection of 15 students in first-year physics graduate student at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi in mathematical physics for teachers’ course for teaching methods about vectors. Survey Data were collected using Wooclap applications. The results found that students’ understanding about application of mathematics in various areas of physics and mathematical meaning in physics were improved by active learning of 90% and 87%, respectively. Moreover, the favorite teaching activities were vector components and right-hand rule of 80%. In addition to, students were satisfied with active learning corresponding to a mean score of 1^st-5^th reflection level of 3.87-5.00, which was at high to highest level. As for a mean score of 6^th reflection level of 3.40, which was at a moderate level.
