Abstract


The objective of this study to explore the implementation of the group discussion method in physics classes at Cristal Secondary School, Dili. Its effects on improving students' academic achievement. This study is using a qualitative research approach. Data were collected from two classes with 20 students each. One uses the group discussion method and the other employs traditional lecture-based instruction. Classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions were conducted to gather insights into students' engagement, collaboration, and conceptual understanding. Thematic analysis revealed that the group discussion method enhanced peer interaction, improved conceptual understanding, and increased student motivation, leading to better academic performance in physics. The study concludes that collaborative learning through group discussions can serve as an effective teaching strategy for challenging subjects like physics, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
