Effective science teaching methods can increase the learning process of learners. It facilitates both teachers and learners in creating an environment of learning. Therefore, the researchers tried to find the effect of a cooperative learning approach on student's achievement in the subject of chemistry.  The main objectives of the study were: a) to study the difference between cooperative learning and traditional methodologies in terms of achievement in chemistry teaching at grade-IX and b) to analyze the difference between both methodologies in terms of achievement while comparing students of diverse intelligence of both groups. To accomplish these targets null hypotheses were tested. The nature of this study was experimental (Pre-test, Post-test equivalent group design). Forty-Two students were selected as a sample from Government Boys High School No 1 Nowshera Kalan on basis of pre-test score. Then two equal groups were formed i.e. experimental and control having an equal number of students 21 each. Both groups were taught the same three lessons, selected from of 9th-grade chemistry book (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Text-Book board). The Control group was taught these three selected lessons through the traditional method of science teaching. On the other hand, some chapters were taught to the experimental group through Slavin's student's team achievement division (STAD). This treatment lasts for six weeks and in the end, a teacher-made post-test was administered to both groups. The collected data were analyzed by applying an independent sample t-test. It was concluded from the analysis of data that chemistry learning through STAD was more effective than the traditional method of science. The same was also noticed for low achievers and high achievers of both groups. Based on the conclusion, it is recommended that science teachers should implement this method in their classrooms. Furthermore, curriculum developers should design such a curriculum which will be in favor of teaching this method.

The purpose of this work is to examine the issue of pre-service science teachers’ (PSST) Geogebra applications on misconceptions about projectile motion (PM) and the permanence of learning concepts. In this study, quantitative research method was used as scientific research method, and semi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test control group was used as a pattern. The accessible population of this study is PSST who study in a university located in Kayseri, Turkey in the 2019-2020 academic year. Sample of the study included 36 freshman PSST, studying at the university level in Kayseri. 18 of the participants are experimental-group (EG) and 18 of them are control-group (CG). Both groups learned the subject of projectile motion (PM) together in the classroom. In addition to the traditional teaching method, the EG participated eight-week in the Geogebra course based on the conceptual change model and prepared physics simulations with Geogebra. “Conceptual Questions on Projectile Motion” was used as a data collection tool and the data were analyzed by means of statistics (t-test) based on the difference between averages. The results revealed that both the post-test’s and permanence test’s mean scores of the EG PSST were significantly higher than the mean score of the CG PSST (post-test: t=2.525; p< .05) (permanence test: t=5.466; p< .05). Furthermore, in this study, many misconceptions about the PM were identified.

This research paper is dedicated to the investigation of the effectiveness of inclusive teaching strategies and traditional lecture-based teaching strategies on the learning of pupils in general but the main focus was on the high achievers of Class XII. The study was conducted to compare both types of teaching strategies in an inclusive setting with the diversity students. Two equal groups of pupils were made according to pre-test scores of teacher-made test items. Both the groups were representative of inclusion. The researcher used the pre-test post-test equivalent group design in the present experimental research. The pre-test was conducted before starting the treatment to judge the difference. The experimental group was taught through inclusive teaching strategies while the control group was taught through traditional lecture-based teaching strategies. The period of the experiment was sixty days. When the treatment period was completed, a researcher-made post-test was conducted to know the level of achievement of students especially the high-achiever students. To determine the effectiveness of both types of teaching strategies on students’ learning in an inclusive setting, the significance of the difference between the scores of the two groups was measured at 0.05 level. The t-test was applied to measure the difference of means of the two groups.  Then based on the t-test results were analyzed. It was revealed from the results of the post-test that inclusive teaching strategies were more effective as compared to traditional teaching strategies to teach pupils at Higher Secondary level.

This study was conducted to determine the level of conceptual understanding and interest in Kinematics of 66 non-science curriculum high school students under a cooperative learning environment randomly assigned to the control (Traditional Method of Teaching) and experimental group (Cooperative Learning Approach). Student’s level of conceptual understanding was measured using a SOLO level-based Conceptual Understanding Test (CUT) and interest in kinematics was measured using a Student’s Interest in Kinematics Questionnaire. Before intervention, findings revealed that almost all of them could not answer questions that require one piece or more than one piece of given information, fact, or idea, obtained directly from the problem or ideas each used separately. They could not also answer two or more distinct steps, with no integration of the ideas or in doing algorithms with numbers using a set of useful information. Majority of them were on the prestructural and same level of conceptual understanding and has not really understand the concept asked, or with very little understanding, but they differ on interest level in learning kinematics in favour to the students assigned in the control group. After intervention, students exposed to Cooperative Learning Approach have significantly higher Pretest-Posttest mean gain score in the CUT than the students exposed to Traditional Learning Method. Almost half of the respondents were on the unistructural and less than one fourth were on the multistructural SOLO levels of conceptual understanding. However, students exposed to traditional method of teaching have interest that is significantly higher than the students exposed to cooperative learning approach. In terms of students performance students exposed to cooperative learning approach performed significantly higher than the students exposed to traditional teaching methods.
