Physics is perceived as a difficult subject for secondary and tertiary students. A measurement of students’ attitude towards Physics must be obtained in finding ways of enhancing the teaching and learning in the colleges. Thus, this study is conducted to determine the attitude of engineering students towards physics and its relation to their academic achievement. Descriptive research design was employed in the study. Mean, standard deviation and Pearson product- moment coefficient of correlation were utilized in analyzing the data gathered. Results revealed that the students have a negative attitude towards physics subject, and their academic achievement of the subject is found to be fair or low. Further, a significant relationship was established between the students’ attitude toward Physics and their academic achievement. It is concluded that their low level of academic achievement in physics is the result of their negative attitude towards the subject.

The method of learning becomes one of the factors that is very influential, especially for students' academic achievement. Nowadays students are required to be more active in expanding the knowledge they not only get from teaching and learning activities in school, but they can also add knowledge such as from a learning application that they can learn by themselves to hone their understanding of subjects. In the subject of Natural Science (IPA), often the methods or methods used by teachers in teaching are still many that are difficult to understand by the students, the existing learning media less interest of students to study harder, and students sometimes consider easy subjects IPA. Learning Media in High School (SMA) visually displayed in the form of applications that can be accessed with Android-based phones is expected to improve the quality of learning, especially in science subjects.

Chemistry subject continues to be considered as difficult to teach and learn. This leads to students’ low academic achievement, retention, and negative attitude towards the subject. Organic chemistry as one of the concepts on which technological advancement is constructed sometimes appears to be enormously complex to students. There are some persisting misconceptions about it although different innovative instructional strategies have been applied and this area is of main concern as the learning of students can be extremely hindered in case their misconceptions are not minimized and/or corrected. The review then is to equip educators with knowledge about organic chemistry concept and source of students ‘misconceptions; the misconceptions of students about organic chemistry; the ways of diagnosing students’ misconceptions and remedies of those misconceptions; some learning theories for the effective organic chemistry instruction and classroom implications. The paper is also useful to know more about the minimization of students’ misconceptions and leading them to the great academic achievement and interest towards the subject by employing cooperative learning models; thus, many other different innovative teaching strategies are recommended to apply in organic chemistry instruction
