After the classroom observation, the investigator decided to take up a study entitled as “Effects of Activity Based Approach on the Learning Achievements of the learners in Political Science”. This study was carried out with three specific objectives like to identify the learning difficulties of the learners of class-IX in political science, to design varieties of activities to help in overcoming the learning difficulties of the learners and to identify the effects of Activity Based Approach. Survey method was adopted to conduct this study. 40 students were selected randomly to conduct this study. Data was collected using the tool like achievement test through pre-test and post-test procedure. The intervention period was one month. The post-test result was better than Pre-test.
