Effectiveness of E Content on Achievement in Chemistry among XI Standard Students

Abstract

The study is designed as a Solomon four-group experimental design to study the effect of the e-content package on the Chemistry achievement of XI standard students. The present study is an experimental study in nature to find out the Effectiveness of e-content on Achievement in Chemistry among XI Standard Students. For this purpose e-content package was developed and validated. The validated e-content package forms as an independent variable of this study. The dependent variable is Student s Achievement in the Criterion test on chemistry. In order to find out the achievement in Chemistry among XI standard students, the investigator developed and standardized a Criterion test on Chemistry for XI standard students in the unit Atomic Structure. In order to have randomization in the sample the investigator selected two schools in Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu. The experimental and control groups were identified in both these schools. Before the treatment both experimental and control groups were equated based on their performances in entry level test. The selected experimental and control groups were administered pre test developed and validated by the investigator. The treatment was conducted in four equal sessions. After the treatments both the groups were administered post test. Data were collected from the students. They were tabulated and applied statistical treatments. The results were analysed in terms of various sub groups of the sample selected for the study.
