Effect of Kitchen Chemistry Method on Students Performance in the Subject of Chemistry t Secondary Level

Abstract

The study was aimed to investigate the effect of kitchen chemistry method on student performance in the subject of chemistry at secondary level. The major objective of the study was (i) to investigate how students can learn chemistry from their surrounding (in kitchen), (ii) to explore how the chemistry, proved to be a fun (iii) to study that secondary school student can be scientist by learning chemistry from surrounding. All secondary school students learning chemistry was the population of the study. The study was experimental so 39 students of grade-IX of government girls higher secondary school Azakhel Payan were taken as a sample of study. The four weekly tests data were analyzed by AVP (average percentage report) while the pre-test and post-test data were analyzed by pair t-test. The analysis of the collected data revealed the following findings. The result of the study showed that Kitchen chemistry had significant effect on learning chemistry.  It was concluded from the results that Kitchen chemistry had significant effect to be a fun for students. The result of the study showed that Elementary and Secondary school students can be scientists by learning chemistry from surrounding. Following recommendations were made, on the basis of conclusions. Elementary and secondary school teachers may use kitchen chemistry method in science to improve the academic achievement of students. It is also recommended that teachers may teach chemistry subject by using kitchen chemistry method. Government should arrange teacher’s refresher course for kitchen chemistry method.
