A Study of the Effectiveness of ICT-Mediated Teaching Method over Traditional Teaching Methods on Life Science at Secondary School Level

The study aims to understand whether ICT-mediated teaching methods are more effective than Traditional methods in teaching Life Science, at secondary school level. Some previous experiments and studies have shown that ICT-mediated teaching methods contribute towards better learners' achievement. The study has been performed by using a Quasi-Experimental Research Design (pre-test post-test control group design) in a co-educational school, on a group of fifty students, who served first as the control group and then as the experimental group and were taught by both methods. The result of the study clearly shows that ICT-mediated teaching methods contribute significantly more in learning of Life Science, as compared to Traditional teaching. The ICT-mediated methods benefit both boys and girls and help in the steady improvement of Low and Medium categories of Achievers into the High Achievers' category.
