Abstract:

The Objective of the Current study is to study the effectiveness of concept attainment model and traditional method of teaching set of concepts from physical science in relation with concept achievement. Being the conceptual subject Physical needs the distinct teaching methods. It has been felt that in spite of strenuous efforts of science teacher, students fail to grasp the certain concepts of the subject which lead disinterest among students towards physics in general. Experimental research method was used for present study. Tool used for the research self-prepared physics lesson “thermal states of matter’from higher secondary level lesson transcripts of Physics and lesson plans of traditional method and for post-test standardized by team of experts in the field of education. The present study reveals that there is a significant difference between concept attainment model(CAM) and traditional method on the achievement of students in understanding of concepts of physics from the unit “ Thermal States of Matter “This study reveals that there is a significant difference between concept attainment model(CAM) on the achievement of students for acquisition of relevant concepts from the unit ‘Thermal states of matter’in higher secondary classes and traditional method ( by evaluation approach).
