Think-Pair-Share Teaching Strategy: An Effective Strategy for Improving Business Education Students’ Academic Achievement in Financial Accounting in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria
Senimetu Ileuma, Seyi David & Elizabeth R. Ore
Abstract
This study is carried out to provide a conceptual review on the effectiveness
of the think-pair-share (TPS) teaching strategy in improving Business
Education students’ academic achievement in Financial Accounting. Related
literature were reviewed on teaching methods and strategies, think-pair-share
instructional strategy, academic performance and Financial Accounting. The
findings suggest that the TPS strategy is a viable alternative to traditional
instruction and can be used to enhance academic achievement of Business
Education students especially in Financial Accounting. The study recommends
that Business Educators in tertiary institutions should be flexible in the choice
of the selection of instruction methods/ strategies when teaching Financial
Accounting and Business Educators should adopt learner-centred instructional
strategy(s) like think-pair-share method that will allow students to actively
participate in the learning process.
