Abstract [English]

The study aims to comprehensively categorise and assess web-based Physics resources for senior secondary education according to several web site kinds, focussing on their accessibility, pedagogical efficacy, and alignment with the curriculum. The study used a quantitative research approach, gathering primary data from 384 respondents with varied demographic and institutional backgrounds using a standardised Likert-scale questionnaire sent via Google Forms. The gathered data were examined using SPSS to determine reliability, validity, and to assess differences across web site categories utilising ANOVA and t-tests. The findings indicate that online Physics materials are mostly viewed favourably, exhibiting adequate accessibility, significant educational merit, and substantial congruence with the senior secondary Physics curriculum. Marked discrepancies were noted across various web site kinds regarding accessibility and educational efficacy. Moreover, static online pages demonstrated much superior curriculum alignment relative to dynamic web sites, indicating that organised material presentation improves syllabus adherence. The research shows that online Physics materials serve as a useful additional educational tool for senior secondary students. A harmonious blend of static and interactive online materials is advised to maintain curriculum relevance while enhancing student engagement and facilitating successful Physics education.
