Abstract

In the present technological and scientific era, since the traditional teaching strategies are not enough to stimulate the interest among the scholars and do not meet to the emotional, psychological and intellectual requirements of the scholars within the new millennium, therefore the strategies of teaching science need to be changed. This study was conducted to assess the effect of e-content strategy as compared with conventional strategy on Science achievement of grade school students. The procedure was executed by employing pre-test–post-test control group design. A sample of 80 pupils of Class VII was taken from a government school in Patiala district of Punjab through cluster sampling technique. One experimental and one control group was formed. Experimental group was taught with the supplement of e-content, the control group was taught Science through conventional method. the info were analysed with the assistance of correlated t-test, one-way and two-way ANCOVA. The results of the study revealed that e-content significantly enhances science achievement of Class school students as compared to those taught with conventional method. A big main effect of treatment on achievement in science was found. However, no significant effect of gender was found on achievement of grade school students in science when pre-achievement in science was taken as a covariate. Thus, within the field of education, e-content have the potential of proving an alternate and really effective teaching and learning tool. The utilisation of e-content within the classrooms attended make the training enjoyable and long-lasting in numerous ways resulting into the enhancement of educational achievement significantly.
