Impact of Activities on Performance among Science Students at Elementary Level
The effectiveness of the activity-based teaching approach and the lecture method for science students' learning is evaluated in this study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the connection between teaching methods and student learning. In this study, the measuring instrument was an achievement test (post-test). The participants in this study were 8th-grade male students. Two groups of students were formed: experimental and control. The research data was compiled using the experimental and control groups' post-test scores. According to the findings, the study group's performance was better than the controlled group. In terms of information, understanding, and implementation capacity, the experimental group performed significantly worse than the control group. Overall, the findings of the study show that using the activity method to teach science at the elementary level is far more effective than traditional teaching methods. As a result, it was suggested that the students be taught through activities in the classroom
