dc.description.abstract Abstract This study investigated the effect of Interactive Multimedia Simulations Advance Organizers (IMSAO) teaching approach on physics achievement in the topic Measurement in Kenyan secondary school Physics. IMSAO approach integrates interactive multimedia simulations and advance organizers in the teaching learning process. Solomon-four, quasi-experimental research design was used. Four schools were purposefully sampled from the 24-mixed day public secondary schools in Nyahururu Sub-County of Laikipia County, Kenya. The sampled schools were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups.168 students from the sampled schools were involved in the study. A Physics Achievement Test (PAT) was developed, validated and pilot tested for use in data collection. The reliability coefficient of PAT was 0.83. A training manual on IMSAO was developed. Thereafter, the teachers in the experimental schools were trained on how to use IMSAO. A pretest was administered to students in one control and one experimental group and after the treatment a posttest PAT was administered to students in all the four groups. Data was then scored and analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and tests at α level of 0.05. The findings indicated that students taught using IMSAO approach demonstrated significant improvement in PAT when compared to those taught through Conventional Teaching Methods (CTM). On the basis of the findings, the study advocates for the use of IMSAO on effectiveness and improved academic achievement in secondary school physics. en_US
