Abstract:
Delta State students' physics performance was examined using jigsaw cooperative learning and simulation games. Quasi-experimental design was used. The survey included 18,879 Delta State public senior secondary school SSII Physics students. 321 SSII Physics students from six schools were randomly sampled. The researcher's face, content and construct validated Physics Achievement Test (PAT) was used to collect data. ANCOVA analyzed data. The results showed that: students taught using jigsaw cooperative learning, simulations and lecture method had significantly different physics means achievement scores, favouring jigsaw and simulation games; and the interaction effect of teaching method and sex on students' physics achievement was significant. Physics teachers at secondary schools should use jigsaw cooperative learning and simulation games to teach physics, but they must ensure that both sexes actively engage.
