Effectiveness of Eclectic Method on Achievement Test and Retention Test in Learning Chemistry at Higher Secondary School Students

Abstract

The research paper describes an effectiveness of eclectic method of innovative and technology teaching among XI standard School Students. Traditional new teaching methods and approaches were provided with some changes. Need of hour is to focus on the role of using new methods and technologies in learning and Teaching. The literature review indicated the effective use methods, technologies that improve learners learning skills, which enhances the effective learning. Teaching skills are related with the art of teaching strategies of various methodologies and techniques. The main objectives: To find out whether there is any significant difference in the  achievement test, Retention test and chemistry Equation balancing (ABCD) method of Haloalkane and Haloarenes with respect to control group and experimental group (pre test - Post test). Hypothesis: formulate null hypothesis were used, methodology: Experimental method solamon four group design. Sample: 120 students were adopted in this study groups were dividend of experimental group (I & II) and control group (I & II). The students adopting in purposive random sampling Technique.Reliability of the Tool: The Reliability of the tool was calculated Split-half method and the calculated reliability was (i) Achievement test in Haloalkane and Haloarenes (0.986) (ii) Retention test in Haloalkane and Haloarenes (0.913), (iii) chemistry equation balancing (ABCD) method (0.82)Tools: (i) Eclectic method and validated for the topic – Haloalkane and Haloarenes of XI Chemistry, (ii) Achievement Test (ATHAHA), (iii) Retention Test (RTHAHA) (iv) chemical equation balancing (ABCD) method. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive, Differential, Correlation, Analysis were used in the current study.
