A Comparative Study between Conventional Teaching Methods and Innovative Methods in Science Discipline

The present study was conducted with the aim to compare the impact of conventional and innovative teaching methods on the achievement of the learners. This is experimental study with pre & post test design and null hypotheses were frame against the objectives. Two Groups (A and B) were form on the basis of IQ test and average IQ students were selected and randomly dropped in two groups A and B. The total sample of 44 students was taken (22 students in each Group). An experiment was conducted for 10 days and two hours per day (one hour for each group). Before the treatment achievement test for science which is teacher made test, was administered as a pretest and also administered on the same groups after the treatment as post test. A ten day's teaching program me was developed for both the groups. Group A was exposed with conventional teaching method as control group and Group B was exposed with innovative teaching method as experimental group. The result of the study, the impact of conventional teaching method is positive on the achievement of the learners in science discipline. When we compare the effectiveness of these teaching methods, the innovative teaching methods are found more effective and have significant impact on the students' performance in comparison to conventional method.
