A Study of Effectiveness of Concept Attainment Model in Teaching on Triangle of Mathematics at SecondaryLevel of Standard VIII

Abstract

The present study is experimental in nature. The following were the objectives of the study : (1)To prepare the Concept Attainment Model on Triangle of Mathematics of Standard VIII and (2)To study the effectiveness of Concept Attainment Model(CAM)and Traditional Method(TM) on Triangle of Mathematics of Standard VIII. The students of standard VIII of the Gujarati medium high school of Rajkot were considered as the population. For the experimentation 60 students were selected from one school of Rajkot. 60 students were selected from school farming two groups. There 60 students were randomly clarified into two groups. In each group, there were 30 students. Experimental type research method was used. The investigator selected True-experimental design namely “Randomized two groups post-test only experimental design”. In the present study the investigator constructed Mathematical Achievement Test (Post-test) on Triangle of Standard VIII was used. To find out significant of difference between Mathematical achievement of two groups, statistical technique t-test was used. For that M and SD of Mathematical achievement scores on post-test of both groups were calculated. The study revealed that Concept Attainment Model of Triangle is more effective than Traditional Method with respect to Mathematical Achievement of the students. So, Concept Attainment Model was found to be effective in terms of achievement of students in Mathematics.
