Abstract

This study attempted to find out the effect of using multimedia in teaching Computer Science among XI students. Sample of 62 students was selected for the study in Karur District. Two groups pretest and posttest experimental design was used. Data were analyzed. It is found that there is a significant means score difference between pretest and posttest among the selected higher secondary school novice students. It is proved that Multimedia supported teaching is one of the appropriate and effective methods for teaching Computer Science to higher secondary school students.

Highlights

Education, in the present day context, is perhaps the single most important means for individuals to improve personal endowments, build capability levels, and overcome the constraints
To find out the significant difference in post-test score between male students who learnt through the conventional teaching method and male students who learnt through the Multimedia teaching method
To find out the significant difference in post-test score between female students who learnt through the conventional teaching method and female students who learnt through the Multimedia teaching method

Summary

Introduction

In the present day context, is perhaps the single most important means for individuals to improve personal endowments, build capability levels, and overcome the constraints. Education is important not merely as means to other ends, but it is an attribute that is valued in itself, by most individuals. It is a critical invasive instrument for bringing about social, economic and political inclusion and a durable integration of people, those 'excluded', from the mainstream of any society. Computer Science today is about learning to understand the media we use every day. This idea for Computer Science has been around since at least the early 1960's but is most accessible through the well-known and highly regarded McLuhan statement "The medium is the message”.
