Abstract - The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of innovative teaching
strategies on the performance of students of grade 1. The experiment was done on the teaching
of science subject to the students of grade 1. A sample of 50 students (boys and girls) was
selected randomlyout of the population of 100 students in grade 1 from anEnglish medium
school of Islamabad. Two groups of 25 students each were made. Pre-test of General Science
was given to both the groups and the results were recorded. One group was taken as a control
group which was taught science by the teacher who used conventional method of teaching while
the other i.e the experimental group was taught by the teacher who used innovative teaching
techniques. After one months time of teaching, a post-test was conducted.

Analysis
VI. Conclusions
With the observed results the conclusion is very
clear that the innovative teaching methodologies
outperform the traditional classroom teaching. The
impacts are found on both individual and group level. It
satisfies the individual learning requirements and
increases the interest level among the students. At the
group level, more students are found scoring higher
grades and with the special focus on the students who
performed less in the pretest the frequencies of lower
grades are remarkably reduced.
The quantifiable
hypothesis number 1, 2 and 3 are clearly proved
through this experiment.
