This phenomenon not only affects the academic performance of middle school students but also poses a challenge to the teaching effectiveness of junior high school physics teachers. Through the research on the current situation of junior high school physics teaching, it is found that the reasons for students’ learning difficulties are multifaceted, including the influence of students’ own factors, as well as factors from the teaching environment and teaching methods. To improve this situation, this paper puts forward a series of teaching suggestions, aiming to stimulate the curiosity and exploration desire of middle school students, cultivate their interest in and love for the physics subject, and ultimately achieve an overall improvement in teaching quality.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Zhu Y, 2018, Causes and Solutions for Junior High School Students Struggling with Physics.
