The Effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction on Science Achievement of Secondary School Students
Abstract:
The present study examines the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction in terms of the achievement in science at secondary level. The study is experimental in nature and observing the difference between the effectiveness of CAI and traditional method of teaching. The sample constitute of 280 students of 9th class matched on intelligence, drawn from two U.P BOARD affiliated schools (co ed) of Meerut city using cluster random sampling technique. Selected students were divided into two groups namely experimental and control group randomly. The experimental group was taught the topics ‘Force’ and ‘Motion’ through computer assisted instruction and the control group was taught the same topics through traditional method. After teaching, a self-developed achievement test was conducted for all students and the answers were evaluated and tabulated group wise. Data were analyzed by using Mean, S.D and t-test. The findings of the study indicate that experimental group performed better than the control group in respect to achievement. Comparing the achievement of male and female students taught through CAI method, no significant difference was found.
