ENHANCING ACCURACY IN CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL THROUGH VIDEO DEMONSTRATION METHOD

Chemistry is concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their physical and chemical properties, and the use of reactions to form new substances. Chemistry is a subject based on the practical. It is of extreme importance for junior college students to improve their accuracy in chemistry practical. In the present study video demonstration method was used as a technique to enhance the accuracy in chemistry practical. Since the researcher conducted an experiment to find the effectiveness of the instructor controlled pre-practical video demonstration method as compared to the traditional method in improving the accuracy in chemistry practical, for the present study, the study was experimental in nature. A two group post test only design was selected. Video Demonstration Method was used for the experimental group and Traditional Teaching Method was used for the control group. The study was conducted with 100 F.Y.J.C. Science students studying in Late P. R. Patil Utkarsha Vidyalaya and Junior College, Virar (W), Palghar, Maharashtra. In this study, experimental and control groups were used. Video Demonstration Method was used for the experimental group and Traditional Teaching Method was used for the control group. Conclusion showed that there is a significant difference in the results of experimental and control groups. Video Demonstration Method is more effective than Traditional Teaching Method.
