Abstract :

In classroom, students feel boredom when teachers are teaching through traditional method. To alternate the same, it is necessary that the teachers should attract the students and enhance their learning through various teaching strategies. Animation is one of the main attractive strategies for kids to sustain attention for prolonged time. Animation also helps the teachers to enhance the attention and achievement of students in the classroom. Animation helps the student to satisfy the learning needs and at the same time, it improves the level of understanding and achievement while observing the concepts through animation. Animation definitely kindles the interest, attention and learning of students. Animated based magnetism concept is taken for the present study. The main and foremost objective of the study is to find out the effectiveness of animated based teaching strategy in enhancing achievement of secondary students in magnetism concepts. For the present study, investigators adapted pretest posttest equivalent group experimental design. 26 samples studying 10^th standard at Government Higher secondary School, Randham village, Tamil Nadu were taken as sample for the present study through random sampling technique. The result of the study indicated that, the achievement of experimental group students is higher than students at control group after adopting animation based teaching strategy in magnetism concepts. Posttest mark of experimental group secondary students is higher than pretest marks of both control and experimental group students. The present study implied the necessity of animation based teaching strategy for learning magnetism concepts of students. The same study may be implemented to other concepts in science and other subjects. The same may also be executed to students with different abilities and disabilities.
