Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the impact of Just-in-Time-Peer-Instruction teaching strategy (JTPI) on Attitude and Performance in Heat Concept among Secondary School Physics in Kano State, Nigeria. Quasi-experimental research design, which utilized pre-test, post-test and post-post-test experimental and control groups research design was adopted. The population of the study comprised all SSII Physics students of government Secondary School in Kano State. Four Schools were randomly selected to serve as experimental and control group. Four intact classes were selected to form a sample of 198 students (105 males and 93 females) from these four different schools. Two instruments were also used to generate the data for the study, Physics Performance Test (PPT) with reliability coefficient of 0.78 was administered to measure the students understanding of Heat Concepts in Physics. While Physics Students Attitude Inventory (PSAI) with coefficient of correlation of 0.65 was used to determine the attitude of students towards Physics. The experimental group were taught using Just–in-Time-Peer-Instruction teaching strategy (JTPI) and the control group was taught using lecture method. The data collected were analyzed using (SPSS) statistical package of version 26. The research questions were answered using descriptive statistic of mean and standard deviation, and the hypothesis were tested at P ≥ 0.05 level of significance using t-test and Mann Whitney statistics. Major findings of the result revealed that, ―There was a significant difference between the performance of the students taught heat concept in Physics using JTPI and those taught using lecture method‖. Based on the findings of this research work therefore, it is recommended that, ―The use of JTPI
