Abstract
The use of participatory learning in classrooms create joy and fun and voluntary engagement of the learner in the learning situation. Teachers can use participatory learning in any age levels as it easily tracks the learner to the learning environment, so undoubtedly can say it is superior to the prevailing mode of instruction. The classroom is undergoing a drastic transformation to equip the learners with 21st century skills. Teachers should view participatory learning as a challenge and equip themselves with varied aspects of participatory learning to meet the changing needs and trends of education. The present investigation was a quasi- experimental approach with pre-test post-test non-equivalent comparison group design. The sample comprised of 60 secondary school students studying in standard IX. Academic Achievement Test based on Lower Order Thinking (LOT) and Lesson Templates based on Participatory Learning were the major tools used for the study. Data obtained were analyzed by using ANOVA and ANCOVA. The results showed there is significant difference in the means of experimental and control groups with respect to Lower Order Thinking.
