A Study on the Effect of Emerging Technology on Students' Academic Achievements at Secondary Level

&The rapid growth in the use of technology particularly the use of emerging technologies has provided an opportunity to educators around the world to investigate the most suitable learning environments and more effective related material that would cater students’ diverse learning styles and knowledge. Therefore, the aim of the present study was “a study on the effect of emerging technology on students’ academic achievements at secondary level”. The sampling population of the present study is all students of grade 10 who are studying in public high school in Punjab. Use of emerging technology and its experiment was delimited to Biology students of class 10th in Govt Girls High School No1 Fateh Jang (Attock) sessions 2016-17 and its experiments was delimited to four chapters of Biology textbook. This study sought to discover that learning through emerging technology improved student academic achievement. Two different methods of instruction were employed for this research study. The first method of instruction was the traditional lecture and whiteboard method. The second method of instruction was the use of technological instruction. Students of 10th class in subject Biology were studied. Two groups controlled and experimental was selected on the basis of pre test to equate the knowledge level for experiment. For item analysis, researcher used SPSS, Mean.& Overall the achievements of students were satisfactory.& After analysis of the data conclusions were drawn that there is major difference between the students of experimental post and control post. The mean score of experimental post students is greater than control post.& It is recommended that Teachers should use Emerging Technology based teaching aids like computer animations etc. to develop student’s interest in the subject for maximum teaching learning out-comes.
