Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">The research was undertaken to analyze&rdquo; EFFECTIVENESS OF COGNITIVE BASED TEACHING <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">ON </span>ACHIEVEMENT IN MATHEMATICS<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"> AMONG STUDENTS. </span>&ldquo;The study was conducted on a sample of 60 students. The design selected was pre- test post-test non-equivalent group design. The constructivist instructional approach was used in the experimental group and the traditional approach was followed in the control group. An Achievement test was also prepared to test the effectiveness of each group under study. The technique of Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the equivalency between groups. Mathematics teaching through cognitive based teaching was found to be more effective than the conventional method<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
