Study of the impact of use of educational material in Geography subject on the performance of class 8th students.(Hindi)

Abstract

The National Education Policy 1986 has expressed concern over the unattractive environment of schools, unsatisfactory condition of buildings and lack of educational materials. Looking at the present situation of education, the need for revolution in it is visible. For this, it has become a fundamental need to discover new approaches to improve the academic achievement of students in every subject and to conduct research in the interest of students.

Geography subject is more suitable for students from educational point of view and daily behavior point of view. There is more difficulty in teaching geography than other subjects, because most of the subject matter in geography is outside the experience area of the student. Both the teacher and the student do not have direct experience of geography, which is why it is difficult to impart pure knowledge of geography to the student. Therefore, to provide proper knowledge of geography, the geography teacher has to use some teaching material along with direct experience. The related study has been done to find out what effect the use of educational material in the subject of Geography will have on the knowledge acquisition of the students of class 8 in Geography.
