This paper originates from a study on the effects of
interactive teaching methods on students' learning of mathematics and biology
at Tanzania's ordinary level secondary schools in Mwanza region. The
qualitative technique was used in conjunction with the quantitative data. The
111 participants were chosen using simple random selection and selective
sampling methods. Purposeful sampling was used to identify participants who
could provide in-depth insights related to the participatory methods versus
learning outcomes. Characteristics such as expertise, experiences and specific
attributes were employed. To enhance generalizability of quantitative findings,
random sampling technique was used to ensure that each member of the population
has an equal chance of being selected. In addition, the study collected data
via surveys, interviews, focus groups, observations, and documentary reviews.
In contrast to the content analysis that was performed on the qualitative data,
the quantitative data were analysed through processes like data cleaning,
coding variables, dispersion and frequency distribution henceforth, bar charts,
histogram, tables, figures and percentages were developed to facilitate
interpretation. The research revealed that students had a positive attitude toward
participative teaching methods and a desire to learn. According to studies,
students' comprehension of math and biology at a basic level can be improved by
adopting participatory teaching methods supported by suitable T/L materials and
qualified teachers.
