摘要：In Pakistan traditional teaching is kind of teaching approach in which a single Mathematics teacher teaches the students mostly with deductive method of teaching. Collaborative teaching (CT) has several advantageous over the single teacher’s teaching. It has proved its effectiveness in many countries like USA, UK, and China etc (Mcduffe, Scruggs, & Mastropieri, 2007). The present study was aimed at comparison of the effectiveness of CT over single teacher’s teaching in improving students’ Mathematics scores. An experiment was conducted on 118 public school Mathematics students of 8th grade in the District of Sargodha by using Solomon Four-Group experimental design. A collaborative Mathematics teaching module was developed by the researchers in algebra and geometry to apply the CT intervention to see its effectiveness as compare to the traditional approach to teaching. An experimental group with CT and a controlled group with traditional teaching were selected for this study. It was consisted of 20 lessons, and each lesson was carried out in 60minutes. The teaching module was validated by two subject matter experts. Achievement of students was measured by using an achievement test of Mathematics. A national institute NEAS had developed the items of the test. The statistical techniques like average, standard deviation, and t-test were applied to analyze the data. CT was found to be more effective than single teacher’s teaching in enhancing students’ achievement score in algebra and geometry.
