A study of the effect of activity-based teaching on students' problem solving ability and academic achievement
Author(s): Dr. Raksha Gupta
Abstract: The research conducted in the 8th-grade mathematics class comparing activity-based teaching with traditional teaching methods supports the notion that appropriate teaching methods have an impact on students' abilities, understanding, and achievement levels. The study found that activity-based teaching had a positive effect on students' problem-solving ability and academic achievement compared to the traditional teaching method. The use of an experimental and controlled group allowed for a comparison between the two teaching approaches. The experimental group received instruction through activity-based teaching, which emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning activities. On the other hand, the control group received instruction through traditional teaching methods, which typically involve lectures and rote memorization.To measure the impact of the teaching methods, problem-solving ability tests and scholastic achievement tests were administered to both groups. Statistical calculations were then performed on the collected data to analyze and compare the results. The findings of the study demonstrated that students taught using activity-based teaching showed higher problem-solving abilities and academic achievement compared to those taught with traditional teaching methods. This suggests that the use of activity-based teaching facilitated qualitative development in education, emphasizing the importance of providing maximum opportunities for student-teacher interaction and utilizing appropriate educational techniques. It is important to note that this research provides evidence specifically in the context of the 8th-grade mathematics class. The results may not be directly applicable to other subjects or grade levels. Additionally, further research and replication of the study in different settings would contribute to the generalizability of the findings. In conclusion, the research supports the idea that activity-based teaching methods positively influence students' problem-solving abilities and academic achievement. These findings highlight the significance of employing effective teaching techniques that encourage student-teacher interaction and promote active learning to enhance educational outcomes.
