ABSTRACT
The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of neuroscience research - based pedagogy in science education. The specific objectives of the study answer the basic research questions: What are the current implications of neuroscience research and to what extent will neuroscience research into biological mechanisms learning, memory, attention, and other brain functions inform educational practices and science teaching in the future? In this investigation, experimental research design was employed. Along with this, a sample of thirty six students was drawn from a total of seventy-two student population using purposive random sampling technique. Then, based on the pre-test scores, mixed ability groups such as eighteen high and eighteen low scoring that are (36) students in each group as experimental(15 F and 21 M) and control(14 F and 22 M) groups were assigned respectively. Based on the hypothesis formulated, questionnaire was used as the instruments of data collection. The research data was collected from both experimental and control groups. Populations of the study were selected by purposive simple random sampling technique. Two way ANOVA as statistical techniques had been used to investigate the efficacy of neuroscience research based pedagogy in science achievement among secondary school students.
