| Abstract: The study examines “towards acquisition of physics knowledge and overview of strategies on sustainable national development and disaster management.” The entire universe is in the state of progression due to fact that science provides the knowledge of natural phenomenon which empowers man. However, science puts the global world on the route of development because it eradicates chaotic turbulence making life worth living. The contribution of science to technology is with inclusion of Physics knowledge. Physics knowledge is not isolated with other sciences to explain natural phenomenon on the planet earth. The method and the way Physics studied nature has contributed immensely to social and economic well being of people. The weight of Physics to economic growth is remarkable in Industry, Communication, Medicine, Engineering and Technology. The undertone of this is the application of Physics knowledge to life; this conscripts to national growth of any nation. Human development can be achieved through Physics skills in problem solving, creative thinking, objectivity and abhorrence to superstitions; these attributes have the way to promote national development. However, the sustainable national growth and development are often challenge by monstrous events of natural and man-made disasters. Therefore, this paper therefore discusses relevance of Physics education to national development and disaster management. Other strategies to curb disasters were also highlighted .Since Physics lies in the heart of science and technology, the paper concluded that educationist and science educator should ensure that the teaching of science is carried beyond recitation of laws and principle but to see to problem solving, critical thinking, and value judgment during physics class and that different teaching styles should be used to teach the subject. The study recommended appropriate methods through concise education, scientific literacy, physics skills, government agency and voluntary organization to boost national development and manage both natural and man –made disasters. |
