Abstract

The equipment’s of science teaching in the most of secondary school is not available in Pakistan. The main purpose of this research is to find the effectiveness of low cost materials on diverse achievers in the physics instructing at secondary level. The nature of the study was experimental. The most suitable design for this experiment was Pre-test, post-test equivalent group design. A sample of 40 pupils was carefully chosen from Government High School No.2 Nowshera Cantt. The experiment continued for six weeks. Independent sample t-test was used for the analysis of data. The group which has been instructed with low cost teaching aids showed successful result scores in the posttest and their achievement level further gets improved. It has been suggested that teachers training institutions ought to build up such a training programs, which would enhance the capacities of teachers in the selection and in the development of apparatuses, using low cost materials for practical work
