Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of hands-on experiments on student learning in the field of science education. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of hands-on experiments in enhancing student engagement, comprehension, and retention of scientific concepts. The research methodology employed in this study includes a comprehensive literature review, data collection through surveys and assessments, and analysis of findings to draw meaningful conclusions. Chapter One provides an introduction to the topic, outlining the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two presents a detailed literature review that examines existing research on the use of hands-on experiments in science education. The literature review covers ten key areas related to the impact of hands-on experiments on student learning outcomes. Chapter Three focuses on the research methodology employed in this study. It includes detailed descriptions of the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, ethical considerations, and limitations of the study. This chapter also discusses the theoretical framework that guides the research process. Chapter Four presents a comprehensive discussion of the findings obtained from the research study. The analysis of data collected from surveys and assessments is presented, along with a discussion of the implications of these findings on student learning outcomes. This chapter also explores the factors that influence the effectiveness of hands-on experiments in science education. Finally, Chapter Five provides a summary of the key findings, conclusions drawn from the study, and recommendations for future research and practice. The conclusion highlights the significance of hands-on experiments in enhancing student learning in science education and suggests practical implications for educators and policymakers in promoting active learning strategies. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the impact of hands-on experiments on student learning in science education. The findings of this study have important implications for curriculum development, teaching practices, and student engagement in science education.
