dc.description.abstractThe study examined effect of Predict-Observe-Explain on secondary school Physics students’ attitude in Simple Harmonic Motion in Ogun State. One hypothesis was formulated and tested at 0.05 levels of significance. The study adopted pre-test, post-test, control group, quasiexperimental design. A total of 166 SS2 Physics students in two senior secondary intact classes in Ogun State were selected through multi-stage sampling technique, participated in the study. One school was exposed to each of the Predict-Observe-explain and conventional method for 8 weeks. Physics Attitude Scale (PAS) with 20 items on a four-point Likert type scale (r=0.73) was used for data collection. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. There was a significant main effect of Predict-Observe-Explain strategy on students’ attitude towards Physics (1,128) =6.349, p<0.05, η2=0.047). The study concluded that Predict-Observe-Explain is more effective instructional strategy than conventional method of teaching in enhancing students’ attitude towards Physics because every student participated in one activity or the other which enhanced conceptual understanding, creativity and critical thinking. Consequently, it was recommended that this strategy should be constantly used, while workshop and seminar should be organized for the teachers for effective use of the strategy.
