Abstract
Education is a powerful instrument of socio-economic and political change. Hence, it is necessary to improve quality of education at different levels of its field. Teachers need to be qualified in teaching methodology. Improvement of quality of teaching is essential for futuristic development. This is an experimental study of teaching Physics through compact disk programs of AllamaIqbal Open University, Islamabad and through lecture method of teaching. The main objectives of the study were, to investigate the effect of compact disk program on student learning, to compare the effect of teaching physics through compact disk method and lecture method and to recommend more effective teaching methodology in physics. The population for the study consisted of 52 private secondary schools of Rawalpindi city. Only 30 students of 9th class studying in Leaps International Montessori and high school in Rawalpindi city were taken as sample. There were two groups i-e an experimental group (N=15) and a control group (N=15). The control group was taught by lecture method and compact disk programs were taught to experimental group. The experiment was launched for one month, in order to find out the effect of compact disk program on student’s learning achievement. The study was delimited to, school of Rawalpindi city only, to students of 9th class only, textbook of physics of 9th class only and five chapters of physics textbook only. 150 test items were developed in the form of MCQS, fill in the blanks, short questions and numerical in order to check the effectiveness of compact disk program. Analysis of data revealed that the students taught throughcompact disk programs performed significantly better. The study recommends the use of compact disk program to improve the quality of education in science subjects. It recommended that compact disk programs should be provided to the institutions and that teachers need to be provided training to use these compact disk programs to make the teaching of Physics effective.
