THE ROLE OF CUES IN IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ LEARNING OF PHYSICS: A CASE STUDY OF FORM ONE STUDENTS OF ST. PETER‟S SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the role of cues in improving students‟ learning of physics. The study sought to observe students‟ reaction towards the use of cues in teaching by the teacher. The performance of the students was monitored during the use of the cues. An action – research method was adopted in this study to gather data. During the intervention, cues such as visual, positional, verbal and accessibility cues were adopted to teach the students. These cues were used to teach Form 1students of St. Peter‟s Senior High School who were about 60 in the Kwahu East District of the Eastern Region. The main instrument used in this interviews were conducted among the students prior to the intervention. The findings of this study were that students‟ performance in physics improved significantly. Furthermore, classroom discourse also saw an improvement with students asking a lot of questions during the lessons. The results of the study revealed that about 85% of students get a conceptual understanding of physics when cues are used to teach them.
