| Abstract: This study investigated the effect of think-pair-share learning strategy on performance of students of varied learning styles in Physics in Benue State, Nigeria.Three research questions guided the study. Three hypotheses were tested. Quasi-experimental research of non-randomised pre-test, post-test control group design was adopted for the study. The population was made up of 964 senior secondary (SS) 2 students in the 2020/2021 academic session from 24 secondary schools in the area. The sample consisted of 321 SS2 students selected from six intact classes from six schools. Multistage sampling technique was employed for the study. Learning Styles Questionnaire (LSQ) and Physics Performance Test (PPT) with reliability coefficients of 0.85 and 0.99 respectively were used for data collection. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation, while Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The finding revealed thatthere is no significant difference in the mean performance scores of students with varied learning styles taught Physics using Think-Pair-Share learning strategy. It was found that significant differencesexisted in the mean performance scores of both male and female students with varied learning styles who are taught Physics using Think-Pair-Share learning strategy.Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that workshops, symposia and seminars should be organised regularly by Science Teachers’ Association of Nigeria (STAN) and Ministry of Education to acquaint Physics teachers with the skill of taking cognizance of students’ learning style preferences. Teachers of Physics should adopt Think-Pair-Share (TPS) learning strategy for teaching Physics concepts to both male and female students minding the differences due to learning style preferences so as to enhance their academic performance in the subject. |
