Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) on understanding of General Science concepts. Sample for the study comprised of two classes of six grade students. Each of the class consisted of thirty students each. The instrument used in the study was a self-developed test for measuring understanding of General Science concept. On the basis of pretest both groups were randomly assigned to as control and experimental group. Treatment span was eight weeks. Results showed that STAD is an effective and relatively easy alternative to implemented to science education. Implementation of STAD yields a better understanding of General Science concept.
