Abstract

The aim of this research work was to explore the impact of demonstration teaching method on secondary student’s academic achievement in physics at Quetta. In this study two teaching methods demonstration teaching method and traditional teaching method (bookish method) were used. Here main objective was to give message with practical proof to the science teachers that which teaching method gives better results for learning physics in secondary classes. For this study experimental research design found suitable. Therefore, experimental research design was selected for this research study.

The study was conducted at Govt: boys high school satellite town Quetta. Because this school has suitable student strength and classrooms, which were the needs of this research study. Fifty students were randomly selected from the 9th grade section A.

These fifty students participated in an objective test which was prepared from grade eight text books of general science. On the bases of this objective test scores these students were divided into two groups which were experimental group and control group.

This division took place in such a way that the both groups have approximately the same academic achievement level.

After this pre-test was conducted, this test was prepared from text book of physics grade nine. Then treatment process started, in this process the experimental cluster was tutored by demonstration pedagogy and the control cluster was tutored by traditional and bookish method. In this process ten lessons were delivered to experimental group and same ten were delivered to control group. After treatment post-test was conducted. The marks of experimental cluster and control cluster in pre-test and post-test were collected /tabulated as data of the study. Data was analysed by the application of independent sample t-test (mini tab
version 19). The analysed data expressed that the achievement of the experimental cluster in post-test was extremely high when contrasted with control cluster. This result revealed that demonstration teaching method was best and effective for teaching physics in secondary classes as compared to lecture and bookish method.
