1.0. TITLE OF THE STUDY
EFFECTIVENESS OF
MULTI MEDIA PACKAGE ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF
SECONDARY SCHOOL CHILDREN
2.0.INTRODUCTION
The present
study is an experimental one. The
investigator wants to study the
effectiveness of multimedia pakage to
improve the achievement of secondary school children in English.
3.1.NEED AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The period of
secondary education of a child’s life
is roughly between the ages of 9 -16 is
really important in its own right. – and in preparing them for life and later learning . Many important strides in
linguistic competence are made from ages
6 to 14 the primary middle and high school classes. Proficiency in English unravel
the vista of knowledge to the child and achievement in English is crucial to future learning.
AV aids are widely used by
of teachers in English classrooms for effective teaching.
3.2.PRESENT
STATUS OF THE STUDY
(A short review of the related literature
should be added here. )
Even though
some studies are initiated on the effectiveness of multimedia packages on the
achievement of students in other subjects, there is a dearth of studies in this
field.
Hence there is a need for
experimentation and
evaluating its effectiveness in comparison
with and traditional methods in
the context of secondary schools of
Ernakulam District in Kerala state.
Hence the need of step by step
implementation on an
experimental way and evaluating
its effectiveness in comparison with traditional methods, and
hence the relevance of the present study.
3.3.CONCLUSION
Review of the related literature shows
that even though some work is initiated in the area in Indian
contex, there is a lack of substantial evidence of literature in utilizing these facilities for
the students with learning disorders in Indian context. There is a lot of scope for continuing the work initiated by earlier investigators. Hence
the need of the present study.
Hence the
investigator conduced t an experimental study of the
effectiveness of the multimedia
package with the effectiveness of the
traditional face to face teaching for
the secondary school children in
Ernakulam District in Kerala.
3.4.STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
EFFECTIVENESS OF
INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING PROGRAMME ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF LIFE SKILLS OF THE LEARNING DISABLED PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN OF ERNAKULAM DISTRICT
4.0.OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objectives
of the study are delineated as under:-
1) To
prepare multimedia package for
secondary children in Ernakulam district in Kerala
2) To evaluate
the effectiveness of the multimedia
package to improve the achievement of secondary school children in Ernakulam District in Kerala.
4.1.HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY
There will be
significant difference between the pre test scores and the post test scores of achievement
of the students in English in the secondary schools of
Ernakulam district in Kerala.
5.0.METHODS AND PROCEDURES
5.1.DESIGN
PRE-TEST - Administration of measuring tools.
TREATMENT- intervention
with multimedia package
POST-TEST– Administration of the measuring
tools
5.2.SAMPLE
All the children in VIII standard of
St. Mary’s School, Ernakulam school were the sample.
5.3.TOOLS EMPLOYED
Being an
experimental study , the investigator employed two types of tools namely 1) treatment tools
2) Measuring tools. The tools were prepared and administered in English
TREATMENT
TOOLS
Self -designed multimedia
package in the form of a Teacher’s Kit (e-
resources, and soft wares) in English was prepared by the investigator.
MEASURING TOOLS : The Results
in achievement test in English
5.4.PROCEDURE OF
STUDY
PHASE I
STAGE 1 - Review of the Literature,
STAGE 2-Introduction and Tool Preparation
PHASE II
STAGE 3- sampling, data collection and Intervention
STAGE 4- Inference and findings
STAGE 5- Report
Writing
6.0.DATA COLLECTION
The data of sample were collected
on two occasions. A)Before the treatment and
after the treatment.
6.1.STATISTICAL
TECHNIQUES USED
To measure the
effectiveness of multimedia package on the
achievement of the secondary school, both Descriptive and Inferential statistics were used.
Descriptive
Statistics –It means cumulative frequency percentage , bar diagram, ogive
curves on the various dimensions, were calculated.
Inferential
Statistics- Critical ratio or ‘ t’ was used to find out the significance of the
difference between the means in order to reject or retain the null hypotheses.
7.0.ANALYSIS
The
data collected were analyzed under the following hypotheses in view. The
scores of the pre-test and post-test in English
were tabulated to statistical analysis to find out the tenability of the
following hypothesis.
7.1.HYPOTHESIS
OF THE STUDY
There will be significant difference between the pre
test scores and the post test scores
of achievement of the students in English
in the secondary schools of Ernakulam district in Kerala.
7.2.COMPARISON BETWEEN
THE PRE-TEST SCORES AND POST TEST SCORES OF
ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SAMPLE
To
find out whether there is any significant difference between the pre-test and
post-test scores of experimental group,
the mean and standard deviation of the pre-test scores of 30 students in Standard
IX were obtained and critical ratios found out. The data and result on
the test of significance in difference between means are given in table 7.1

Result of
comparison of pre-test and post-test scores of
experimental group given in the
table 7.1 shows that calculated t value (1.8613) is less than the table value
(2.66) at 0.01 level. Hence accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate
hypothesis. So there is no significant difference between the pre-test and
post-test scores of control group. The results indicate that there is no
improvement in the achievement scores of students in English by using the
multimedia package after
intervention.

8.0.FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION
8.1.MAJOR
FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
The major findings of the
study were obtained by using the
analysis of the data:
HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY WAS: There will be significant difference between the pre test scores
and the post test scores of achievement
of the students in English in the secondary schools of
Ernakulam district in Kerala.
Result
of comparison of pre-test and post-test scores of Achievement test given in the table 7.1 shows that calculated
t value (1.8613) is less than the table value (2.66)) at 0.01 level. Hence
accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis. So there is no
significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of Achievement
in English. The results indicate that there is no improvement in the
achievement scores of students in English
by using the multimedia package
after intervention
8.2.CONCLUSION
The influence of the extraneous
variables in the study can be controlled
for a better result . In-service
and pre-service training in multimedia
packages can be provided to the
teachers.
Some of the
possible areas where future research can be done are:
1) The study can be extended to a large sample,
in order to examine the reliability and to ensure general applicability of
findings.
2) The
study can be conducted in different
subjects at all level of education from
primary to higher education
3) The
study can be done in a large sample of students belonging to different groups
of gender, locality, culture, learning ability, intelligence.
