Abstract:

The population consisted of all the primary school pupils. Sample size for the study was 4 primary four classes. Three Instruments were used and seven hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The instruments were validated by six experts. The Pearson's Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to determine the reliability index of 0.88. The research hypotheses were tested, using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. Findings showed that there was significant effect of Numbered-heads-together on pupils' academic achievement in Social Studies. Numbered-Heads-together enhanced better performance in Social Studies than the traditional method of teaching.
