Elevating Chemistry Education: Experimental Investigation on the impact of Activity-Based Teaching on Secondary Students Learning Outcomes
Abstract
Students face difficulty in understanding the concepts of chemistry at secondary level and in modern classroom setting teacher’s also face it difficult to achieve the students learning outcomes mentioned in the national curriculum. This experimental study aimed at finding out the effectiveness of activity based teaching in the achievement of students learning outcomes in the subject of chemistry at secondary level. Control and experimental group were separated on the basis of mixed abilities and the targeted students learning outcomes were taught to experimental group through activity based teaching method while the control group was taught through traditional teaching method. A well structured and validated test was designed on targeted students learning outcomes and was administered on both the groups. Data was analyzed using mean, slandered deviation and t-test. The analyzed data shows that activity based teaching method is more effective than traditional teaching methods in achieving the students learning outcomes in the subject of chemistry at secondary level.
