Abstract

This research has been conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of active technological teaching methods on the learning of the chemistry lesson of second secondary school boys. The research method was based on the test plan of the experimental group and the control group. The statistical population in this research consists of male students of the second and third grade of high school in the five academic years of 1401-1402. Among the statistical population of the research, two groups were considered as the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was trained with the active techno-logical method and the control group was trained with the usual traditional method. Learning was measured through pre-test and post-test. In this research, the first semester grade was controlled as a covariance variable. The results of the research showed that the effect of teaching using the active technological method on students' learning of chemistry is more effective than traditional methods. This result is consistent with the findings of previous studies in this field.
