One intact group was selected as the control group and the other as the experimental group at<br>random. The study was directed by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The study used a quasi-experimental approach that<br>included pre- and post-tests. The population of the study comprised 125 students majoring in business. The purposive sampling procedure<br>was used in selecting 125 students who were grouped into treatment and control groups. The instruments for data collection were<br>programmed material (modules) for office practice and Office Practice Achievement Test (OPAT) developed by the researchers based on<br>the topic to be covered. Two hypotheses with significance levels of .05 were tested using the ANCOVA statistic technique. Both groups had<br>15 reading sessions; the experimental group received treatment and had their reading instruction based on the think-pair-share technique,<br>whereas the control group received reading instruction using the traditional approach. The findings suggested that using the think-pairshare<br>method can improve students’ academic performance.</p> ER -
