4.1.0 INTRODUCTION

In Chapter three, researcher had discussed the research design and methodology,
origin of the research, design of the research, variable of the research, population and
sample of the research, tools for data collection, development stage of the CAI package,
procedure for data collection, statistical analysis done in research work.
Data analysis is consider to be important step and heart of the research in research
work. After collection of data with the help of relevant tools and techniques, the next
logical step, is to analyze and interpret data with a view to arriving at empirical solution
to the problem. The data analysis for the present research was done quantitatively with
the help of both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistical
techniques like mean, standard deviation and for the inferential statistics Analysis of Co
Variance were used during data analysis. For the analysis of opinionnaire Chi square test
was used.

4.2.0 ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF THE OBTAINED DATA


THROUGH ANALYSIS OF CO VARIANCE

Comparison of control group that was taught through conventional method and
experimental group learn through CAI by considering pre test and IQ as a co variable
with the help of Analysis of Co Variance is considered in this part.
4.2.1 Analysis of Co Variance and interpretation of post test score of Control and
experimental group by considering pre test and IQ as a Co Variable for rural
area
For the present research to check the objective no. 2, 3 and hypothesis no. 1
Analysis of Co Variance was done and obtained value is shown in table 4.1 and 4.2

To compare control group and experimental group of the rural area achievement
of the experimental group was compared with the control group. From the table 4.1 it can
be seen that the degree of freedom for among and within groups were 1 and 96
respectively. The sum of squares of corrected post test was found to be 2229.07 and
1766.31 for among and within groups respectively. The corrected mean sum of squares of
post test was found to be 2229.07 and 18.40 for among and within groups respectively.
The F-value was found to be 121.15 which was found to be significant at 0.01 level of
significance for the degree of freedom 1 and 96. Hence, the null hypothesis 1, “There
will be no significant difference between corrected means of achievement of control
group and experimental group of rural area by considering pre test score and IQ as
a co-variable in a unit of wave optics for standard XII science students” is rejected.
Hence it can be said that there is significant difference between the corrected post test
means of control and experimental group. Further to know the mean of which group is
higher and which mean is lower, the details of mean scores and corrected mean scores are
given in table 4.2

the experimental and control groups respectively. The mean pre test (My) score are 8.78
and 12.30 for the experimental and control groups respectively. The mean post test (Mz)
scores are 24.54 and 16.92 for experimental group and control group respectively. The
corrected post test mean scores (Mxyz) of the control and experimental group were found
to be 26.13 and 15.33 respectively. This shows that corrected mean of experimental
group is significantly higher than corrected mean of control group. The obtained
difference between corrected mean scores for experimental and control groups was found
to be 10.80, which was found to be significant at 0.01 level of significance. It showed that
the experimental group scored higher than the control group in the post test which may be
due to the effect of CAI. As the Hypothesis-1 was rejected, it can be concluded that the
mean achievement of experimental group that were taught through CAI is significantly

84
higher than that of the control group. The means of experimental group and control group
are also shown in the graph 4.1 for better comprehension.

which was found to be significant at 0.01 level of significance for the degree of freedom
1 and 194. Hence the null hypothesis 5 “There will be no significant influence of teaching
method” was rejected.

94
From this it can be concluded that by considering IQ and pre test as co-variant
there was a significant influence of teaching method on achievement of post test score of
experimental group and control group. The detailed explanation of significance of

16.07 for the experimental and control groups respectively. The mean post test (Mz)
scores are 20.73 and 30.08 for rural area and urban area respectively. The corrected post
test mean scores (Mxyz) of the rural and urban area were found to be 21.45 and 29.36
respectively. This shows that corrected mean of urban area is significantly higher than
corrected mean of rural area. The obtained difference between corrected mean scores for
rural area and urban area was found to be 7.91, which was found to be significant at 0.01
level of significance. As the Hypothesis 5 “There will be no significant influence of area”
was rejected, it can be concluded that the mean achievement of urban area is significantly
higher than that of the rural area. The means of rural area and urban area are also shown

From Table 4.10 it can be seen that the Table value of F for df = 1 and df = 190
are F0.05 = 3.89 and F0.01 = 6.76. The computed F-value for gender was 1.732, which was
found to be non significant at 0.05 level of significance for the degree of freedom 1 and
190. Hence the null hypothesis 6 “There will be no significant influence of Gender” was
accepted.
From this it can be concluded that by considering IQ and pre test as co-variant
there was not significant influence of gender on achievement of post test score of
experimental group and control group. It means that the Boy students and Girl students
learn at same rate.

1137.51 for among and within groups respectively. The corrected mean sum of squares of
post test was found to be 547.77 and 21.88 for among and within groups respectively.
The F-value was found to be 25.04 which was found to be significant at 0.01 level of
significance for the degree of freedom 1 and 52. Hence, the null hypothesis 7, “There
will be no significant difference between the corrected means of achievement of the
boys of experimental group of urban and rural area by considering pre test score
and IQ as co variable in a unit of optics for standard XII science students” is
rejected. Hence it can be said that there is significant difference between the corrected
post test means of boys of the rural and urban area of the experimental group. Further to
know the mean of which areas boys of experimental group is higher and which mean is
lower, the details of mean scores and corrected mean scores are given in table 4.12

From the above table it can be concluded that value for every statement is not
significant even at 0.05 level of significance. Hence the null hypothesis “There will
be no significant difference between opinion of Boys and Girls of experimental
group” is accepted. Hence, it can be said that the boys and girls of the experimental
group posses the same opinion regarding the learning through CAI package.

4.6.0 CONCLUSION

In the present chapter researcher analysed and interpreted the obtained data and
discussed the result. In the next chapter summary of the research work, major findings,
implication and suggestion were made for the future research.
