A Comparative Study of Academic Achievement of Students using Traditional and Online Modes of Teaching

सार

This study was conducted on 8th grade students for the subject ‘science’ using both traditional mode and online modes of teaching in respect of their academic achievement. The researchers administered an intelligence test on 100 students, and based on this, 60 students were selected for the experiment. They were divided into two groups: control and experimental with 30 students each. The control group was taught by the traditional approach, while the experimental group was taught by online teaching. The researchers also selected the content for the subject science (Physics, Chemistry and Biology), which included
chapters on Light, Metals and Non-metals and the Cell respectively. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test. Following data analysis, it was found that there was no significant difference between traditional and online mode of teaching; both methods were found to be effective in academic study and academic achievement of school students.
