Abstract
This study investigated Impact of team-teaching strategy on academic achievement and Interest
in Basic Science Concepts among Junior Secondary School Students in Potiskum, Yobe State
Nigeria. The researcher used quasi experimental control Group Design involving pretest and
posttest for the study. The study have four objectives, four research questions and four null
research hypotheses guided the study. The subjects used in the pilot study comprised a total of 33
students in JSS 2. The population of the study is all government junior secondary two [JS 2]
students in Potiskum educational zone, involving 16 junior secondary schools running Basic
Science Programme with the population of 3,597 boys, 2,330 girls, and a total of 5,927 students
in the study area. Two groups of the subjects were randomly selected as sample for experimental
and control groups by using simple random sampling technique with the total of one hundred and
fifty-four (154) students. Two instruments; Basic Science Achievement Test (BSAT) and
Students’ Interest Questionnaire (SIQ) were used for data collection. The instruments were
validated by the senior lecturers in the Department of Science Education, Ahmadu Bello
University Zaria. The reliability coefficient 0.87 of the test was obtained by using test retest
method. The instruments were administered to the subjects before and after the treatment. The
data collected was analysed at p 0.05 level of significance. The independent t-test simple statistics
and paired sample t-test statistics were used for testing the hypotheses. Students were encouraged
to ask questions, made contributions, discussions, class activities and offer personal suggestions
during team teaching in the class. Stakeholders, especially commissioners for education,
directors of schools, principals and other resource personnel should always emphasis on the use
of team teaching for instruction in the class especially the teachers in the service.Students
develop high interest in learning of Basic Science Concepts when Team Teaching Strategy is
used in learning and teaching. Teachers of Basic science in Potiskum local government Yobe
State should be encouraged to adopt constructive team discussion to increase their knowledge on
team teaching strategy at JSS two (2) level in secondary schools
