Construction of Individualized Audio Instruction Material for Enhancing Teaching of Physics and Its Effectiveness

Abstract

The students’ ability of learning science is largely depending up on the quality of instruction provided in the classrooms. The traditional methods of teaching are not working apt with the needs and capabilities of present day children. The teaching strategy for the modern period must suit to the requirements, capabilities and interests of the pupils. Certain attempts like Individualized instructional Material is to be developed for effective teaching of science.The present paper is a study focused on developing an Individualized Audio Instructional Material on the content areas “Magnetic Effect” and “Current Electricity” from the subject physics. It is intended to validate the constructed material and also to find its effectiveness in teaching and learning of physics among high school students. The study was an experimental research based on Pre-test Post-test method. There were control and experimental groups in the experimenting phase of the research. It is found that the developed Audio Instructional Material was very effective in teaching and learning of physics for high school students.
