Abstract: The teachers’ basic tools for displaying lectures are through chalkboards, bulletin boards, transparencies with an overhead projector and power point presentation. The effect of power point in teaching physics is continuously debated. However, both supporters and opponents have insufficient empirical evidence. The present study was then conducted to find out the effect of power point in teaching undergraduate physics students in Colleges of Education in Borno State. This study adopted quasi experimental, specifically pretest, posttest non-equivalent control design. Simple randomization was used to select one College of Education out of the three existing Colleges in the state. The population for the study comprised all the NCE II physics students in the three Colleges, while the sample size consisted of 43 NCE II students offering physics in the selected College of Education. The sample size was divided into two groups and a selected-content based lecture on Mechanics and Properties of Matter II (PHY 213) was delivered. For one group (Experimental), lecture was delivered using power point presentation, and for the other group (Control), lecture was delivered using tradition lecture method. The instrument used for data collection was Single-based Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). One research question and one hypothesis guided the study. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. Statistical analysis was done using Mean, Standard deviation and student’s t-test. The results showed that students who were taught using tradition lecture (TL) method achieved significantly higher than their counterparts who were taught the same contents using power point presentation (PPP). Based on the results, it was therefore, recommended that lecture method should be adopted to teach physics in Colleges of Education in Nigeria.
