Abstract
This study investigated the influence in form of attitude, performance, interest to those learners taking electrical engineering at trade test level, on their ability to understand electrical circuits a physics topic in the science 5124 curriculum. The learners were purposefully selected from Solwezi School for Continuing Education (SSCE) and the research was a descriptive design. The results were analysed using a descriptive and inferential statistics including the SPSS software for research analysis. A pilot study was conducted, instruments adjusted, and survey implemented, instructional model designed and evaluated for its effectiveness. Data was collected using questionnaires, test results analysis and interviews. The reliability of the instruments was tested using Cronbach’s alpha (α). The findings of the research pointed to the fact that, when well-coordinated, learning electrical engineering under the two-tier system, improves pupils’ academic performance in the subject of physics. It is hoped that this study will help to scientifically legitimize the benefits of the two-tier system which the ZECF 2013 formulated into the new curriculum of 2013.
