Impact of Use of Audio-Visual Aids on Knowledge and Comprehension of Low Achiever Science Students
Keywords:
Audio-visual resources, comprehension, knowledge, secondary school students, teaching learning processAbstract
Teaching of chemistry by use of educational technology has enhanced student’s interest in chemistry. Cognitive learning plays vital role in conceptual development of students. In the present work audio-visual aids were used to find their effectiveness on knowledge and comprehension of low achiever students in chemistry. A sample 51 students was selected from 2 two different institutes. On the basis of previous year results of students, they were distributed into control and experimental groups. During this experiment 15 different topics of chemistry were taught to students for 73 days. The control group was taught with lecture method whereas experimental method was taught with the help of AV AIDS such as models, charts, animated videos, and power point presentations. Knowledge based and comprehension based pre and post tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of audio-visual aids. The results showed that the experimental group performed better as compared to the control group marking significance of audio-visual aids on knowledge and comprehension of students in chemistry.it is recommended to use AV Aids to teach chemistry to the low achievers as it helps to conceptualize the abstract concepts.
