Impact of ICT based tools on Teaching - Learning System - a case study

Abstract

Information and Communication (ICT) based teaching and learning technologies including simulations, animations, Physics cinema classic videos and virtual lab etc. along with the traditional learning methodologies have been relatively new concepts in current scenario. In this concept, the tasks of the educators and the students both are manifold as the educators have to make sure that the concept is clarified in many ways and the students have to practice not only inside the class but outside the class as well. Self-motivation and responsibility of both the students and the teachers are equally important. In this paper we have studied the impact of technology initiated learning in the courses of Physics-1 and Physics-2 along with traditional learning methodologies on the development of interest, performance and result of same group of students in sem-1 and sem-2 respectively of B. Tech first year. We found that technology initiated learning tools are substantially effective in improving the clarity of concept and subsequently the result of the students.
