Abstract
The recent tendency among the senior high school students toward a diminishing choosing-rate of physics as an elective course subject is a serious problem which is difficult for high-school teachers to solve by themselves. But, everyone who teaches physics has the key to solving the problem. This paper indicates that it is indispensable to consider teaching of physics at higher education courses as well as secondary schools in connection with the influence of social and cultural environment on the students. To fulfill the requirements of a successful study at school, such as to cultivate the best attitude based on logical thinking on fact toward studying natural sciences, the following two important things must be considered. First of all, teachers must plan to give such lessons as will enable the students to learn physics happily. Secondly, the student must look at a phenomenon again and again by himself from a quantitative viewpoint without abbreviation to get his idea into theoretical shape. It is emphasized that the most important thing for the students is rich experiences during the lesson through experiments and several topics as well.
