Abstract<\/span><\/p>

Teachers are key elements in effective teaching and learning. The study identified effects of child-centered instructional strategies on academic performance of pupils in selected Lower Basic schools in Shomolu LGA of Lagos, Nigeria. This study adopted a descriptive survey research. A sample size of 120 teachers was used. 12 schools were randomly selected; ten teachers from each school. Early childhood teachers in Basic 1-3 were randomly selected for the study. Two research questions in 17 item questionnaires titled \u2019Effects of Child- Centered Instructional Strategies \u2018(ECCIS) was used to elicit information and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, percentages and mean. The result showed that child-centered strategies such as demonstration, role-playing, and questioning strategies have a significant role on academic performance of pupils in primary schools. It was deduced also that learner\u2013centered strategies encourage active participation of learners. Recommendations were made that schools should monitor the teaching strategies teachers use for learners to ensure they are developmentally age-appropriate, participatory, answer the learning objectives, and suit the learners\u2019 styles as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Impact Statement<\/span><\/p>

This study focuses on innovative instructional strategies for learning outcomes. Teachers\u2019 strategies to a great extent affect learning outcome of learners. Class participation enhances learning outcomes. The success of a teacher relies most on academic performance of pupils. So, there is need for teachers to be abreast with instructional strategies that are developmentally appropriate for pupils so that they will excel academically. The finding of the study impacts the classroom strategies and instructional plan. Finding recommends that learners should be involved during instruction through child-centered instructional styles teachers bring to the fore, where learners do not participate actively, learning outcome will be truncated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
