Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of cooperative method, discovery method and lecture method for students learning development and outlook toward physics. All of the first grad students of the Sanger high school are as the statistical population. This research is of semi-experimental one with non-equal controlling group. The sample of the study has consisted of 28, 28, 22 students treated with cooperative method, discovery method and lecture method. The procedure of choosing the sample was nonrandom (convenience) methodical. The educational treatment was conducted during 14 weeks by the researcher. The tools being used in this study were achievement and attitude assessment test in physics, which both were researcher-made. The validity of these tools was verified by professors of social science and physics. During a pilot study, the reliability of attitude assessment test was calculated α= 0/86. The statistical procedures used in the data analysis were t-test and Anova. The finding of the study revealed that the mean difference of scores of the students treated with cooperative method was higher than the grades of students treated with discovery method. However, there was no significant difference between any other two groups compared with each other. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between discovery and lecture teaching method, and discovery and cooperative teaching method with regard to students’ attitude toward physics. Moreover, there was a significant difference between cooperative participants score and no significant difference in pre-test and post-test of the participants score in discovery and lecture group.
