ABSTRACT

Brain based teaching is designed to help the teachers recognize that teaching could be made fascinating to students by introducing innovative methods of teaching. This approach of teaching provides meaningful learning when the teacher understands how the brain learns naturally. The research approach adopted in the present study was evaluative approach, and research design was quasi-experimental pre-testpost-test control group research design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample for the study. The sample size was of 60 students of secondary school. Data were collected by using structured knowledge questionnaire schedule through multiple choice questions. Analysis of the data was done using descriptive statistics as mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics as Chi- square test. In experimental group overall mean pre-test academic score of study respondents was 11.50 (S.D=1.90) and 19.26 (S.D=1.94) was the mean post-test academic score. In the control group the overall mean pre-test academic score of students was 11.26 (S.D=1.98) and 14.22 (S.D=2.22) was the mean post-test academic score. . It is evident from the above table values that the overall academic mean post test score was higher than the mean pre-test academic score. In experimental group mean difference of (7.76), S.D = 2.96 of overall academic performance with paired’ value (16.65). In the control group the mean difference of (2.96), S.D = 0.24 of overall academic performance of the students with paired’ value (13.82). There was no significant association between the demographic variables such as age, gender, religion, residential areas, type of the family and family monthly income of academic performance of the students in the experimental and the control group

Key words: Brain based teaching method, academic performance, secondary student
