Abstract:

The purpose of this empirical study was to develop and determine the efficiency of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) for tenth class students in biology. The instructional material was developed using Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 on seven human organ systems. The developed Computer Assisted Instructional Material (CAIM) has been tested to find out whether it truly met the objectives expected or not. Considering the opinions of the subject experts, computer experts, and educational technologists, CAIM was revised to its best. The content validity of CAIM was estimated through the subject experts and educational technologists.  A sample of thirty students of the tenth class was selected purposively from a CBSE affiliated school of Kurukshetra. Additionally, Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRTs) as pre-test and post-test were also developed to measure students’ achievement before and after CAI.  The overall gain ratio value on CRTs comes out to 0.77, which shows the effectiveness of CAIM.
