A Comparative Exploration of the Effect of Differentiated Teaching Method vs. Traditional Teaching Method on
Students’ Learning at ‘A’ level
Vol. IV, No. I (Winter 2019)

Procedure of the Study
The researcher, himself was an employee in Aitchison College and working as Deputy Headmaster and member of
teaching faculty as well over there. The researcher personally visited Principal’s office for seeking permission of
conducting research over here. After permission, researcher conducted pre-test. After that, by using simple random
sampling technique, 35 students were randomly selected as experimental and 35 students were selected randomly
as a control group. The researcher continued experiment for 16 weeks. Traditional method of teaching was used to
teach control group and experimental group was taught via differentiated method of teaching by the researcher
himself. After completion of 16 weeks treatment, the post-test was conducted.
Data Collection and Analysis
Data was gathered by conducting pre-test and post-test. The collected data was codded and inter into computer.
To analyze the data inferential statistics was applied by suing SPSS software.

Table No.1 shows that the mean of control group in pre-test score is 11.77 and mean of experimental group in pre-
test score is 11.89 which show no difference. In post-test the mean score of control group is 18.54 and in post-
test, the mean score of experimental group is 43.69 which indicate that experimental group’s students performed
high as compare to control group in the post test. The computed t-value for (table No.2) df (68) is -28.192 which
is less than table t-value (1.990) at 0.05 level of significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis stating that “The mean
achievement score on post-test of control and experimental groups’ students not significantly differ” is rejected.
Hence concluded that experimental group’s students get high score in the post-test than the control group.
