The study investigated the effect of team teaching strategy on students' interest in Basic Science and Technology in Junior Secondary Schools in Anambra State.

The results from the study showed a significant difference in interest scores of students exposed to Basic Science and Technology using team teaching strategy and their counterparts exposed to Basic Science and Technology using conventional teaching strategy. It also revealed gender has significant difference in interest of students exposed to Basic Science and Technology using team teaching strategy in favour of boys. The combined effect of exposing students to team teaching strategy and their gender significantly affected their interest in Basic Science and technology. On the premise of the findings, the study posit that team teaching Strategy has been very effective in teaching and learning of Basic Science and Technology in the classrooms. Thus, teachers are enjoined to use of team teaching strategy to enhance students' interest in the classrooms as well as improve teachers' classroom productivity.

ABSTRACT
The study investigated the effect of team teaching strategy on
students’ interest in Basic Science and Technology in Junior
Secondary Schools in Anambra State. The quasi-experimental design
was adopted. The sample consisted of 150 JSS II students from four
co-educational Schools in Aguata Education Zone of Anambra State
Nigeria. The experimental group comprised 76 students made up of
39 boys and 37 girls, while 74 students were used as control
comprising 36 boys and 38 girls. The instruments for data collection
was Basic Science and Technology interest Scale (BSTIS) with
reliability coefficient of 0.98. Data obtained were analyzed using
mean and standard deviation for research questions and analysis of
covariance (ANCOVA) for the hypotheses. The results from the
study showed a significant difference in interest scores of students
exposed to Basic Science and Technology using team teaching
strategy and their counterparts exposed to Basic Science and
Technology using conventional teaching strategy. It also revealed
gender has significant difference in interest of students exposed to
Basic Science and Technology using team teaching strategy in favour
of boys. The combined effect of exposing students to team teaching
strategy and their gender significantly affected their interest in Basic
Science and technology. On the premise of the findings, the study
posit that team teaching Strategy has been very effective in teaching
and learning of Basic Science and Technology in the
