Effect of Think-Pair-Share Strategy on Academic Achievement in Biological Science Students at Senior Secondary Level

Abstract

The present study is to know the effect of Think-Pair-Share strategy on academic achievement in Biological science students at senior secondary level by using pre-test-post-test control group quasi experimental design. Three tools namely performance test of Intelligence by Ahuja (2012), Socio economic Status scale by Kalia and Sahu (2012) and Achievement test of Biological science developed by the investigator were used for the collection of data. A random sample of 80 students of class 11th were taken for this study. The students of control group were taught by traditional method and experimental group were taught by Think-Pair-Share strategy. The findings of the study indicated that the students of the experimental group showed better performance in Biological Science as compared to the students of the control group. Here we can say Think –Pair-Share strategy is effective in teaching of Biological Science to Senior secondary school students. Further TPACK also has a role, if sense of humour goes for increase one unit ,TPACK will increase by 0.08 units and Professional commitment will increase by 0.154 units (DR U MALIK 2020) it ultimately result in effective implementation of Think-Pair –Share strategy.
