Abstract:

The present study was designed to measure and analyze the Scientific Aptitude of 9th standard students, to prepare multimedia package in science for 9th standard students, to study the effectiveness of Multimedia Package on scientific aptitude. Data was collected by selecting two schools of Davanagere city using simple random sampling technique and 100, 9th standard students studying in these schools were selected randomly and are equated based on the achievement scores in science and are assigned equally to control and experimental group, finally to make 50 students (both boys and girls) in control group. Tools used for the collection of data are Multimedia Package in science is developed by the researcher keeping in view the abilities and level of 9th standard students and to assess the Scientific Aptitude tool developed by Nagappa. P. Shahpur was used by the researcher. Analysis was done using independent t test and the comparison between control and experimental groups with respect to pre test and post test Scientific Aptitude scores was done by Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) by using pre test scores as covariate and 2-way ANOVA. And the findings were, there was a significant improvement in Scientific Aptitude after the implementation of multimedia package in science on 9th standard students of secondary schools in experimental group. The post test Scientific Aptitude scores are significantly higher in experimental group as compared to control group. The change in Scientific Aptitude scores of 9th standard from pretest to posttest is significantly higher in experimental group as compared to control group. The post test Scientific Aptitude scores are significantly higher in experimental group as compared to control group. The male and female students in control and experimental groups have similar posttest scientific aptitude scores.
