Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cooperative learning and analogy methods on secondary school student’s achievement and interest in chemistry. The study which adopted a quasiexperimental design was conducted in four secondary schools in Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria. Out of these schools, two schools were exposed to the use of cooperative learning (experimental 1) while the remaining two used analogy method (experimental 2). One experiment was meant to control the other. The sample comprised 253 Senior Secondary School 2 (SSS2) chemistry students. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used in testing the hypothesis at p<0.05. The result of the study revealed that both cooperative learning and analogy methods brought about significant shift in achievement and interest of SSS2 chemistry students.
