Abstract

This study aims to identify the effect of social conditions, especially the classroom, on adolescents’ achievement in learning physics. The main approach is the integrated and multi-dimensional theory of social order, because it focuses on the strong connection between the central points of educational theories and avoids conventional reductionism. According to the facilities and nature of the research, the research method is social measurement and most reports are based on the survey results. The samples include 398 adolescents from 6 different high schools. The results confirm the research hypotheses by explaining 67% of the changes in students’ physics scores. The results of multiple regression analysis suggest that mathematical intelligence, accountable academic achievement in the last year, interest in physics, and the teaching methods used by physics teachers play the most important role in reinforcing the physics score. Also, the friendly behavior of the physics teacher and the teaching methods used by the math teacher will weaken the physics teaching process and reduce students’ physics learning ability.
