Abstract

This study examined the effect of learner-centered activity-based teaching method on the academic achievement of slow learners in physics. For the purpose of the study, one hypothesis was formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study is twenty (20) senior secondary, 2 students both boys and girls identified as slow learners. The design of the study is quasi experimental. It adopted a pre-test, post-test, design. The instrument of data collection was a 60-item teacher made Physics Achievement Test which was validated and reliability index of 0.75 established by equivalent forms method. The hypothesis was tested with t-test and it was found that the achievement of slow learners in Physics could be enhanced by teaching them is small groups using the learner-centered activity-based teaching method. It is recommended amongst others that teachers should employ adequate techniques to identify slow learners so as to address their inadequacies early. Teachers should also use adequate teaching techniques in teaching their lessons bearing in mind that slow learners are part of the class.
