USING DEMONSTRATION METHOD TO IMPROVE BASIC STAGE TWO PUPILS PERFORMANCE ON THE TOPIC ?SIMPLE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT? AT JUABEN PRESBYTERIAN PRIMARY SCHOOL

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of using demonstration method to improve basic stage two pupils performance on the topic building a simple electronic circuit at Juaben Presbyterian primary school. The data for the study was collected using test and interview. A sample size of twenty eight pupils was drawn from the population for the study through the simple random sampling technique. Simple percentage on the frequency distribution table of the scores enabled successful analysis of the data obtained. Results obtained from the analysis indicate that the use of demonstration method in the teaching of natural science topics particularly ?simple electronic circuit? is very effective at the basic school level. It was recommended among other things that the ministry of education and for that matter the Ghana education Service (GES) should organize in- service educational programs for primary school teachers so that they will be able to teach natural science and integrated science effectively.
