Study habits and mathematics learning in technology enhanced classrooms

The present study envisages the development of study habits and learning of Mathematics among students when multimedia are used in technology enhanced classrooms for teaching. Experimental method of investigation is designed on the basis of the problem, assumption and hypotheses formulated and it also warrants a psychometrically sound design, procedure, tools and execution. This experimental study is conducted in two classes of standard IX for a period of 30 days. One section of students, called control group is taught by traditional method and the other section of students, called experimental group is taught with the help of multimedia in the technology enhanced classroom. The results of the statistical analyses show a significant difference between experimental and control group students pertaining to the study habits and academic achievement in Mathematics. The gain scores pertaining to study habits and academic achievement in Mathematics of students in experimental group are found to be significantly higher than the scores of students in control group.
