I have done experimental research for this purpose. In order to do so, I collected the data from a private school by teaching 50 students of grade ten. A pre-test was given by using the test items. Then the students were ranked according to the individual scores. They were divided into two equal groups, D-Group and C-Group. On the basis of odd-even ranking of the individual scores of the pre-test, D-Group was taught using the discovery technique. All of the activities were the same except the difference was that D-Group applied discovery technique. On the other hand, C-Group didn't apply discovery technique but used general one. Both groups were taught for 30 periods. After the experimental teaching a post-test was given and the results of both the tests were compared to determine the effectiveness of discovery technique in learning prepositions in class ten. It was found that D-group was able to learn far better than C-Group and teaching prepositions using discovery technique was found to be more effective than other traditional techniques. This thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter one is an introductory chapter. It includes general background, review of the related literature, objectives of the study and significance of the study. Chapter two deals with the methodology which was adopted to carry out the research.
