Thesis Abstract / Summary:

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of utilizing an innovative approach in teaching Ecology in the first year high school students. This research was conducted in a small scale, a non-probability sampling was used to compare the effects of the intervention in two particular groups. The pre-test-post-test matching group was utilized. The whole first year population comprising of two sections were utilized. A section was taught using the traditional method while the other was taught using the culture-based approach. The group who were taught utilizing the culture-based science pedagogy approach obtained an average performance after the intervention.

There was a significant difference between the pre-intervention and post intervention performances of the students. There was also a significant difference that existed in both the traditional and culture-based science approach with respect to their pre and post intervention performances. Notwithstanding the results of the culture-based science group which performed better compared to the traditional in the post-intervention performance with a mean difference of 0.38, the difference is not statistically significant. The culture-based science pedagogy technique allows students to articulate their ideas through mother-tongue language thus increase their active participation and diminishes anxiety and timidity.
