Abstract

This action research aimed to improve on average pupils mastery of the

materials properties through station method. The study was conducted for 12
weeks and involved three pupils at one of the Chinese primary school in
Tamparuli area. Selection of participants was based on their average
achievement during diagnostic test. Station method has been selected for this
approach as it provides an opportunity for the pupils to make their own
exploration and discovery, is practical and pupil-centred. Self-exploration and
self-discovery will provide enjoyment and simultaneously enhance pupils
knowledge of the particular subject. Researcher has fully adopted the model of
Kurt Lewin (1948). The findings from the three instruments found that there was
an improvement on pupils mastery of materials properties. As a conclusion,
station method has been able to improve on average pupils mastery of concept
of materials properties. As a follow up to the study, researcher suggest that the
station method can be applied and studied extensively towards other science
topics simultaneously giving emphasis on HOTS elements.
