Excerpt from the Book
1. Introduction
The use of scientific wind turbine structure represents a model to efficiently comprehend the exploration of energy and physics. Energy is defined as the “ability to do work, which is the ability to exert a force causing displacement of an object”, the process of transfer from one body to another that can’t be acknowledged only by a theoretical analysis; therefore, several engineers and inventors created a structure not only taking advantage the conversion of energy but also to describe the basic principles of physics. It encourages the improvement in understanding through a visualization.
According to Nava et.al (2017), students found physics to be difficult to understand due to the contents of the subject, learning materials, environment, and teacher factors. The subject contained too heavy terminologies and formulas which causes a struggle in engaging knowledge of the topic. The learning materials were described as limited, expensive, unreliable, and incomprehensible and teachers lack of mastery of the content. The lack of learning methods for students in engaging their knowledge of physics creates a huge impact in downgrading their understanding which is why according to Maknun (2015), the generative learning model provides a better impact in increasing mastery concepts of physics for vocational students. The teachers should provide structures that students can visualize which will help students formulate the information in elaborating the details of the key physics concepts.
