Effectiveness of Enjoyable Self-Learning in some Concepts of Science among Students of Class VIII at Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1 of Bhopal

It is observed that the students of upper primary level are exposed to multimedia and other type of learning resources. Most of them are even attending coaching classes in class 8th to 12th package for cracking professional tests. So, as observed, their daily routine is very packed and even though they have some spare time, they feel to spend it in attractive and colorful source of internet related activities. Thus day by day the attitude of SELF LEARNING is decreasing in students. As a teacher, I feel that without self learning, no good output can be given because neither concept based, nor answering application based question, skill based questions be successfully attempted. To enhance the knowledge and understanding, teacher has tried to know the interest of the students and curved the path of their self learning in that direction. Class 8th students were found to be interested in pictorical messages and working on the tabs or mobiles in leisure time at home , so some topics in science like. FORCE, FRICTION, PRESSURE were developed accordingly and the experimental group were exposed to QR codes of these pictoric topics, so that wherever they like, they can enjoy it and thus self learning will take place.
