The study reflects the impact of Experience Based Learning in Methods of Science at Diploma in Elementary Education.
1.To identify the learning problems in science through conventional methods 2.To find out the significant difference in achievement mean score between the pre test of control group and the post test of control group.3.To find out the significant difference in achievement mean score between the pre test of Experimental group and the post test of Experimental group.4.To find out the impact of Experience Based Learning Science at D. El. Ed..
Equivalent group Experimental method was adopted in the study.
Fifty pupils of studying in Diploma in Elementary Education from District institute of Education, Kurukkathi were selected as sample for the study. Twenty five students were considered as Controlled group and another twenty five students were considered as Experimental group.
Investigator's self-made achievement test was used as a tool for the study. An achievement test consisted of twenty five questions.
Under this study, the reliability had been computed using Split-half method and the calculated value comes to 0.77. The value is quite significant and implies that the tools adopted were reliable. Hence the reliability was established for the study.
The expert opinion of the co staff was obtained before freezing the design of the tools. Subject experts and experienced teachers were requested to analyse the tool. Their opinions indicated that the tool had content validity.
Experience Based Learning is more effective than traditional methods.
