A Study of the Effectivness of Computer Based Programme on the Achievement of the Students of Standarad XIIth in Economics

Abstract

newlineThe aim of this study was to compare the effects of computer based learning and traditional method on student s attitudes and achievement towards analytical economics. The present teaching techniques needs revised thinking to make learning more effective for students. In fact the teaching methodology should be such by which the students can be involved in reading, thinking, problem solving and then learning by their own efforts. For this purpose self-learning method is a very effective media. There are several Self Learning Techniques in which learner can learn by their own pace. Patel, Bhanubhai (1993) and Sakhiya, R.B. (2006) also did an experiment for self-learning technique. They both found self-learning technique effective. Present study was differing from these two studies because researcher made CBP with the help of computer programme MS Power point. Students of Std-XIIth (Economics) were selected for the purpose of research. Can the subject Money, Banking and Foreign exchange rate be made easier by using Computer Based Programmed (CBP)? Is the Programmed Learning Method similarly effective for boys and girls? The investigator has thought about all such crucial questions for undertaking this research. Hence the topic A Study of the Effectiveness of Computer Based Programme on the Achievement of the Students of Standard XIIth in Economics is selected for the presentation. newline
