THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TECHNOLOGY ENABLED LEARNING AMONG THE TEACHER TRAINEES OF DIPLOMA IN TEACHER EDUCATION (D.TED.,) PROGRAMME.

Technology-enabled learning is selecting some appropriate technology and improving learning performance throughthe appropriate learning environment. The aim of the research study is to focus on the effectiveness of Technologyenabled learning among the Diploma in Teacher Education teacher trainees. Investigator has adopted experimentalresearch method to analyse the framed hypotheses. A total sample of Thirty I year diploma teacher trainees fromVellore district has been chosen for the present study. The finding of the research study shows that there exists asignificant difference between mean value of the pre-test and post-test scores of learning science through lecturemethod. There exists a significant difference between pre-test post-test scores of the experimental group in learningscience through technology-enabled learning. It has been found that both lecture method and technology-enabledlearning (TEL) or effective in term of achievement among the Diploma in Teacher Education Students. But analysesbetween the post-test scores of experimental and control group reveals that Technology-enabled learning was moreeffective than the lecture method. Hence it is recommended to utilize the technology-enabled learning for studentsstudying diploma in teacher education programme.
