Research Abstract	This research aims at the development of learning materials on physics for freshmen belong to medical university. These materials have been made for peer instruction by using a clicker device, which is well-established for interactive learning. Many medical themes motivate the students to do learning on physics, and we found that the average point of the examination performed before and after a full-year course has been improved.
