dc.description.abstractThe study investigated difficulty levels of senior school physics concept as perceived by students and teachers in Ilorin. The population comprised all physics students and physics teachers in Ilorin. Three hundred, and eighty-five students and 56 physics teachers formed the sample for the study. A researcher-designed questionnaire on Physics Concept Difficulty Checklist for Students (PCDCS) and Physics Concepts Difficulty Checklist for Teachers (PCDCT) were used and validated by three experts. The data collected were analysed using mean and t-test statistics at 0.05 significant level. Findings of the study revealed that 12 physics concepts were perceived Very difficult, 6 Difficult, 10 Moderately difficult and 8 Not difficult to learn by students; while 8 physics concepts were perceived Very difficult, 4 Difficult, 9 Moderately difficult and 15 not difficult to teach by teachers, also, there were no significant difference in students and teachers’ perception of difficult concepts based on gender. It was recommended that effort be made to raise the levels of students' perception of difficulty levels of physics concept.
