Abstract
The study examined the aassessment on utilization of instructional strategies for Physics teaching among government secondary
school Teachers in Oyo state. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The population of the study consists of all
government senior secondary school physics teachers in Oyo state during the 2021/2022 academic session. 343 (Male189:
Female154) physics teachers makes up the sample size of the study. The sample size was arrived at by using a descriptive
design. A researcher-designed questionnaire titled “Methods Used for Teaching Senior School Physics Questionnaire
(MUTSSPQ)”. was used, the reliability coefficient of the instrument 0.67 was obtained. Data were analysed using mean and
rank order to answer research question while t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed to test the hypothesisis
at significance level of 0.05. Findings revealed that discussion method, demonstration method, assignment method, Physical
laboratory method, simulation method and cooperative method were always used while analogies and Anecdotes, science at
home, guided discovery problems, competitive method, dramatization method, brainstorming, Socratic Method, lecture
method, think-pair-share and peer method were sometimes used. It was concluded that the methods used by senior school
Physics teachers regardless of gender and educational qualifications are similar. It was recommended that encouragement of
the utilization of appropriate and inductive teaching methods is paramount for the effective teaching of physics at the senior
secondary education level.
