A Study Of The Effect Of The Use Of Educational Technology On The Achievement Of Slow Learners In Science Subject At The Secondary School Level

Abstract

The present research is an attempt to Study the Effect of the Use of Educational Technology on the Achievement of Slow Learners in Science Subjects at the Secondary School Level. The present study is Quantitative in nature. Considering the nature of the present research, the Experimental Research Method of Quantitative nature has been taken. Pre-test and Post-test designs are used for the study. The population of the study consists of secondary school students of Prayagraj City. Slow learner students of science subject of 9th class have been selected. Only the students of the U.P Board of 9th class studying in government and non-government schools of Prayagraj city have been taken as a sample. Two schools -TejPratap Singh Intermediate College, Saidabad (non-gov. aided) and KeshavShikshaSadan, Saidabad (govt. aided) have been taken. The sample is divided into two groups. One group has been taught by Traditional Methods and the second group has been taught by video lessons using Educational Technology. The self-made tool of Achievement by the researcher has been used in the study. The result of the study indicates that ‘’There is a significant difference between the pretest achievement scores and post-test achievement scores of slow learners taught by using educational technology and through traditional methods in science subjects’’. It indicates that teaching science subjects by using educational technology is significantly more effective than teaching through traditional methods.
