Abstract
This study investigated effects of team teaching on the academic performance and retention of SSII students in physic in Maradi, Niger Republic. The study adopted quasi-experimental, pre-test, post-test control group design. The population of the study was made up of 1287 Senior Secondary level two students. The sample for the study consisted of 180 SSII students of different ability levels and different genders, randomly selected from two schools. The instrument used for data collection was the Physics Performance Test (PPT). Reliability coefficient of PPT was 0.79. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 levels of significance. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and t-test statistical tools at P=0.05. On the basis of the findings, it was concluded that Team Teaching was more effective than the Conventional Teaching Strategy in improving students’ performance and retention in physics at Senior Secondary School level. It was found to be better in enhancing retention level of students in high, medium and low ability levels. Also team teaching was found to be gender friendly. On the basis of these findings the study recommended among others the use of Team Teaching to teach secondary school physics in Niger Republic, the organization of seminars, conferences, and workshops to train practicing teachers on the use of the Team Teaching in the teaching of physics.
