Abstract ABSTRACT
In literature, co-teaching is primarily defined as an instrumental and pedagogical approach involving collaboration between special and regular teachers, benefiting students with and without special educational needs in regular schools. This study examined the effectiveness of co-teaching on Grade XI students’ understanding of Shakespeare’s play, “The Merchant of Venice," at Orong Central School, Samdrup Jongkhar. A total of 55 grade XI students participated in this study, with 28 students assigned to the experimental group (EG) and 27 to the control group (CG). The quantitative data gathered through the Single-Outcome Survey Question (SOSQ) and the results of pre-tests and post-tests are analyzed using Jamovi 2.6.44 software through descriptive statistical analysis, including means, standard deviations, and independent sample t-tests. The qualitative data gathered through interviews were thematically analysed. The findings revealed that despite an initial lack of significant differences in pre-test scores (p = 0.310) between the CG and EG, a month-long intervention of the co-teaching strategy has led to statistically significant (p<0.001) improvements in the EG. Similarly, the qualitative findings also supported quantitative findings, highlighting the effectiveness of Co-teaching.
