Contribution

It investigates cultural and educational differences affecting atomic physics learning among diverse ethnic groups in a Chinese university.

Findings

Distinct learning preferences identified among ethnic groups

Cultural background influences physics learning approaches

Recommendations for tailored teaching strategies

Abstract

What are the differences and similarities between atomic-physics studies at different peoples (Han, Kazak and Uygur perples in the same university) across Xinjiang (a far-west district in PR China which is a border for previous USSR and Kazak)? In this short report we focus on issues relating to the learning style of different-people students to pass the atomic physics course in physics department even the quantum mechanics course has not been taken before.
