Abstract

The main objective of the study was to develop the interest and conceptual knowledge about science in students. For this purpose, the ‘Low-Cost Material’ concept was taught to the students using different instructional aids. The study was quantitative in nature. Experimental research design was used to check the effectiveness of low-cost material to teach science at the primary level, which were measured through pre and post-test. An action research was conducted in a public sector high school in Rawalpindi. Students of 4th grade were selected to conduct the study. Intervention was carried for one whole week. Pre-test and post-test were taken to collect data, and the collected data was analyzed using mean and t-test. The study found a significant difference between teaching of science through use of “low-cost material” and without using it. The students, when taught science by using “low-cost material, “performed significantly high on the post-test. It was concluded that using low-cost material to teach science positively affected students’ learning. The study will act as a model and guideline for science teachers at primary level to make their teaching more effective by using “low-cost material” as AV aids during science lessons. This will contribute to better science teaching in schools with low or no resources for science teaching.
