Effect of EduSat Lectures on Scientific Creativity among High School Students in Haryana

Abstract

The study attempted to explore the effect of technology-based teaching on improving the scientific creativity of high school students in Haryana. The sample comprised 200 class IX students studying in four government schools of the Sonipat district. This was an experimental study using a pre-test/post-test equivalent group design in which the control and experimental group were equated on socio-economic status and intelligence levels. The Verbal Test of Scientific Creativity by Sharma and Shukla was administered at the pre-and-post treatment phase. The results reveal that technology-based EduSat lectures were not more effective than the normal classroom teaching in enhancing the scientific creativity of high school students. It is suggested that while developing EduSat lectures immense power of multimedia should be utilized to stimulate divergent thinking of students. The study has implications for policymakers, media personnel, teachers, students, parents and experts involved in the EduSat lecture delivery system.
