The Explore, Transform, and Apply (ETA) pedagogical approach has significantly influenced university-level physics education, reshaping traditional perceptions of teaching and learning. Designed to cultivate scientific reasoning, stimulate innovation, and enhance students’ ability to solve complex problems, the ETA method addresses key competencies essential for success in science and technology. As a foundational discipline, physics plays a vital role in developing experimental proficiency, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills. By creating a student-centered learning environment, the ETA methodology inspires learners to explore physical phenomena, transform theoretical understanding into practical capabilities, and deepen their application of core concepts. As a progressive complement to traditional instruction, the ETA framework offers a forward-looking strategy for preparing future physicists and engineers to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological world.
