ABSTRACT

Smart classroom is an innovative technique in education. In the present century we are living in the age of internet and use of internet in every institute of education is not only a dream, but it is the necessity of the time. This study attempts to analyse the study habit of smart classroom and traditional classroom secondary school students. The study was conducted on 100 students of class IX of Ayesha Tarin Modern Public School, Aligarh (U.P.) by using simple random sampling technique. The investigators collected data from two sections of IX class, sec-A which had a smart board and sec-B which was using the traditional method of chalk and duster. Study habit Inventory developed by Palsane and Sharma was used by the investigators. This research indicates that inspite of teachers and students having the perception of the advantages they have of a smart class, but their perception is not consistent with their practices. Therefore, no significant difference was observed in the study habit of smart class and traditional class learners. The paper will highlight the reasons for this contradiction and will conclude with the possible suggestions to overcome this incongruity.
