  • Abstract:
  • This study investigated the effectiveness of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) based strategy in enhancing the science attitude of secondary school students. The population of the study consisted of secondary school students following the Kerala State Syllabus. A random sample of 120 students was selected and divided into Experimental group and Control group. Instructional materials included lesson transcripts prepared using TPACK-based strategy for the Experimental group and Constructivist Method for the Control group. A standardized Science Attitude Scale developed by the investigators was employed as the tool for data collection. Pre-test and post-test scores were analysed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA. Findings indicated that both groups were comparable in science attitude prior to the intervention, but the Experimental group showed significantly higher post-test scores. The TPACK based instruction is effective to enhance the science attitude of secondary school students than that of with presently practising constructivist method. The results highlight the effectiveness of TPACK-based strategies and suggest implications for teachers and policymakers in integrating technology-supported pedagogy into regular science instruction.
