This project examines the engagement of physics students in active learning activities. Typically, students are reluctant to participate voluntarily in teaching activities and classroom interactions when active engagement is expected. The project aims to explore students' needs and wants from the teaching and learning process and to assess whether classroom activities align with these expectations. Additionally, we will identify potential barriers to active participation and propose strategies to mitigate these challenges, aiming for a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative understanding of students' active participation and how it might be enhanced.
