Publication Open Access Effectiveness Of Multimedia Projector-Based Instructional Methods In Enhancing Students’ Learning Of Science(Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2023-11-01) Madushani, U.V.S; Perera, K.G.S.K.Multimedia-based instructional strategies play an important role in enhancing students’ performance as well as students’ motivation towards the learning of science. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of multimedia projectors in enhancing students’ learning of science and students’ motivation towards multimedia in learning vs traditional chalk-and-board method. A quasi-experimental research design was used to investigate the performance and motivational effect of the usage of multimedia projector. A convenient sample of 30 students in grade eight was used in this study. The experimental group of 15 students were taught using a multimedia projector and the control group of 15 students were taught the same science lessons using traditional chalk and board method. Students’ performance was evaluated using a pretest and a post-test. The motivational scale based on the Keller’s ARCS model of motivation was administered on the experimental group to study the degree of motivation displayed in the use of the multimedia projector for instruction. The findings of this study supported the hypothesis that the use of multimedia-based instruction is more effective than the traditional methods in students’ learning of science. Further, it was found that the students’ motivation was also high in the use of the multimedia projector to teach science.Publication Open Access The Effect of ICT-Based Multimedia Use in Activities on Science Students’ Achievement and Motivation in Learning(Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2023-11-01) Perera, K.G.S.K.; Waidyathilaka, M.A.L.WIt is evident from the research in education that integration of ICT-based multimedia in the learning process could improve students’ achievement and enhance motivation to learn. The objectives of this research were to investigate the effect of ICT-based multimedia integration in classroom activities on students’ achievement and their motivation to learn as against the effect of the use of traditional methods in students’ activities. The design of the research was quasi-experimental in which 50 grade 7 students of a private school participated in this study. Two intact groups of 25 students were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. Same pre-test was administered to both groups. Both groups were taught the same science lesson and students of the experimental group were assigned to carry out an activity using ICT-based multimedia and those in the control group carried out the same activity using papers and colours. At the end of the activity the same pre-test was conducted as the post-test on both groups. Motivational scale based on the Keller’s ARCS model of motivation was administered on the experimental group to study the degree of motivation to use ICT-based multimedia to carry out activities. However, results indicated that there was no significant difference in achievement between students who did activities with ICT-based multimedia and those who completed activities using papers and paints. Nevertheless, the motivation to use ICT-based multimedia in activities by the students who were engaged in activities of ICT-based multimedia was found to be high.
