Abstract

The instruction through Educational Software has been making wonders in the class room activities. �Eureka Educational Software� has developed Educational Software in the name of �Design mate� for different subjects such as Mathematics and Biology from VI to XI. More animations and interactions are incorporated in this Software. The Investigator wanted to know, the effectiveness of the Eureka Educational Software on the Achievement in Biology. Hence the sample was aimed to study the Effectiveness of Educational Software on Achievement in Biology among the Students of Standard XI .The study belongs to an Experimental Research. The sample of the study based on the half -yearly performance of the students, they are divided into two groups. The total number of students 79, of which 37 belonged to Control Group and 42 belonged to Experimental Group. The Eureka Educational Software �Design mate� was the Dependent Variable and the Achievement in Biology was the Independent Variable. The developed Achievement Test in Biology by the Investigator was conducted before and after the treatment for both Control and Experiment Groups. Then the Investigator taught Biology through Educational Software to the Experimental Group. Similar topics in Biology were taught through Lecture Method to the Control Group. The collected data was analyzed by using different statistical techniques such as Mean, Standard Deviation and �t� test. The study found that the Achievement made through Educational Software by Experimental Group was significantly higher than the Control Group.
