Measuring the Effectiveness of Students Performance Influenced by Digital Learning Environment Concerning Cuddalore District
Keywords:
Digital Learning Environment (DLE), Practical Knowledge, AnimationsAbstract
This study aims to measure the impact of Digital Learning Environment (DLE) to increase the performance of the students and to evaluate the Teaching and Learning Process (TLP) by using Digital Learning Environment (DLE). Improvement in technological innovation takes place for enablement of Teaching and Learning Process (TLP). Rather than the traditional teaching through chalk and board, visual aids make more compatibility for learning. Hence this present study has made an earnest attempt to measure the impact of Digital Learning Environment (DLE) for improving the performance of the students. This study is the nature of descriptive research design. This study measures the description of variables related to the learning and performance of students. Both primary and secondary data were used in this study. Primary data collected through a well-structured questionnaire and secondary data were collected through websites, journals and magazines. Six hundred samples were collected for this study. Sample size determined based on the sample standard deviation of the population through a trail survey. Convenient sampling technique was adopted due to the resource constraints. Significant findings of this study focussing on, majority of the respondents (80%) feels that Digital Learning Environment (DLE) increase the performance of science students. Majority of the respondents (63%) of the respondents Digital Learning Environment (DLE) provides practical exposure related to the subject matter in science-related subjects. Chi-square test reveals that age has a significant relationship on Digital Learning Environment (DLE), education has a substantial impact on science subjects and commerce subjects, gender has a significant effect on the usability of the Digital Learning Environment (DLE), residential area has a substantial relationship between usability of Digital Learning Environment (DLE). Significant recommendations of this study focussing on, marketer requires to simplify the terms used in science subjects. The present study is useful to measure the feasibility of Digital Learning Environment (DLE) in future also.
