Effect of E-Learn Punjab Application on Conceptual Development of Students

Abstract

Rapid changes and developments in the field of information technology are taking place, and e-marketing is growing day by day. So, teaching strategies should be adapted according to the cognition level of the students, which are helpful in developing digital skills or abilities of the learners towards learning science. Regarding this view, the study has chosen to find out the effect of the E-Learn Punjab Application on students' conceptual development. A quasi-experimental design was used. Purposive sampling was used to select 50 students of the 8th class studying in 2 sections of a Government Boys Elementary School in Sargodha District. These Sections were randomly allocated as experimental and control groups. The concept test of science (CTS) was developed to be used as a pre-test and post-test after validation through pilot testing and expert review. After the pre-test, the experimental group was treated with the E-Learn Punjab Application for six weeks, and the control group received instructions by conventional methods; after treatment post-test was conducted. The t-test and Cohen's D effect size were calculated and applied for data analysis. Results depicted that the experimental group students showed better results than the control group students in the concept test of science. It is recommended that teachers should promote the use of the E-Learn Punjab Application to teach science and other subjects at the elementary level.
