Abstract

One of the teaching learning purposes of schooling is the social and psychological development of a child. Every field of today’s life is a slave of technology, which is in the state of flux. The role of physics is dominated of all other subjects in the school. Motivation of “doing” is important than simply acquiring knowledge. Physics suite is a set of strategies which enables the students ‘to learn to do’ in real life and enables them to be a socially active member of a society as well as psychologically sound personality. Main objective of the study was to examine the understanding of the learners taught by physics suite at secondary level in Pakistan. A null hypothesis “there is no significant difference between the mean scores of pupils taught with physics suite and those with traditional method”. Post-test only equivalent group design was used for the collection of data. A group of 40 students was observed, as experimental and control group comprising 20 students each. After six weeks data was collected through post test and analyzed using t test. Significant difference was found between the mean scores of experimental and control groups and the null hypothesis was rejected.
