The purpose of the study was to check the effect of use of e-learning on the teaching learning process. For this study the sample consists of 30 students of 6th class from Ashoka Universal School. The pre test was conducted then the treatments will be given to the sample. After treatment the post test will be conducted then the data will be analysed and interpret. Now a day‘s students become more techno savvy. They love to play video games and watch movies. The students feel boring with the traditional teaching learning process. The science subject is very hard for the students. To make the students to learn science subject with interest the researcher will use the audio-video teaching aid. This will help to increase the student‘s participation in teaching learning of science subject.

Introduction

The term e-learning has been defined as delivery of learning by electronic means. E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone, power point presentation, audio-video device) in some way to provide educational or learning material. The concept of e-learning is one of the effective methods in the 21st century for the effective teaching learning process. The learning material is kind of audio-video teaching aid. There are mixed learner present in the class, some are visual learners; some will learn with the hearing, some are kinaesthetic learners also. The researcher will use audio-video teaching aid to teach the difficult concept of science for the students.

Statement of Problem

To study the effect of audio video teaching aid on science subject teaching to 6th class students

Objectives

 To check the effectiveness of learning science by audio-video aid.  To find out the difference between pre test and post test.

Operational definitions

1. Teaching aid: The material which is used for effective teaching process 2. Science: a compulsory subject for the secondary school students

3. 6th students: students who are studying in 6th standard and division of Ashoka Universal School.

Need and Importance

The regular teaching learning process is traditional in many schools. Students found it boring. They never use to get interest in teaching science subject. The concepts of science subject are very hard to understand and explaining the concept with traditional method is not sufficient. Hence researcher thought to use the audio-visual teaching aid to explain the difficult concept. This research is important to improve the quality of education system. The research will help to increase the interest of the students in science subject.

Research question

Is there any positive effect of audio-visual aid on the teaching learning of science? Hypothesis- Null Hypothesis

There is no significant difference of audio-visual teaching aid on the learning of science subject.

Method adopted for the present study

The researcher has used experimental method for the present study. Sample and method of sampling

The research investigation was carried out on the 30 students of 6th from Ashoka Universal School, Wadala.

Simple random sampling method was used. Scope and limitations

Scope:

1. It helps in learning both in classroom as well as at home. 2. It helps for the better understanding of the science concept. Limitations:

1. Conclusion of the present research is limited to the selected sample only. 2. The present research is related only for the learning of science subject. 3. The present research is related to academic year 2018-19 only.

Tool used

The researcher has used pre test and post test as data collection tool. Procedure of research

1. A sample of students is randomly selected form the 6th A class of Ashoka Universal School with the lucky draw method.

2. The researcher will get the sample of 30 students.

3. Pre test will be given to the sample based on the topic REPRODUCTION of science subject.

4. After the pre test the same topic REPRODUCTION will taught by using the audio- visual teaching aid.

5. Immediately the post test will be conducted on the same topic to check the effectiveness of teaching by audio-visual teaching aid.

6. Mean and result was calculated. Data analysis N M SD T Value Calculated T Value from the table Pre Test 30 M1= 13.867 2.893 -8.145 2.01 Post Test 30 M2= 18.567 1.148 Interpretation

Our computed value of‗t‘ is -8.145 does not reach the critical table t-value 2.01. Hence it is to be taken as insignificant. Consequently, we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance.

Findings

There is significance difference in the learning of science subject by using audio-visual aid for the teaching learning process among the 6th standard students.

Conclusion

The result of the study shows that there is significant difference in the learning of science among 6th standard students with the help of audio-visual teaching aid. Thus audio-visual teaching aid is more effective learning tool for the science subject teaching among the 6th class students.
