The main purpose of the study was to check the effectiveness of Active Learning Strategy. Objectives of the study were: 1. To compare the adjusted mean scores on Achievement of students of Experimental group and Control group and 2 was To study the effect of Treatment, Critical Thinking and their Interaction on Achievement of students. The treatment was based on teaching with Active Learning Strategy and lesson plan prepared from selected units of Science Subject for IX class students. To check the achievement of students in science on the basis of teaching methods and to study the effectiveness on the variables, active learning strategy and traditional method were compared in this research. The interaction effects of the treatment with other independent variable that was Critical Thinking also studied. The present study used experimental research in nature; the study was designed by Campbell and Stanley 1963. The Sample comprised of 132 students of Secondary School Student. For assessing Critical Thinking the standardized tool Critical Thinking Ability Scale has developed by Prof. Hemant Lata Sharma and Priyamvada (2022), was used by the researcher and Achievement of science subject of class IX was developed by the researcher. Data were analysed with the help of one way ANCOVA and two way ANCOVA but assumption of ANCOVA were not fulfilled then researcher moved of Picked Point Analysis and Quade’s Rank ANCOVA. Finding of the study was In comparison to the Traditional method, teaching with the Active Learning Strategy was found to be significantly effective for student’s achievement in science subject and the treatment given through Active Learning Strategy was found to be significantly more effective than Traditional teaching methods in terms of Critical Thinking.
