Description
Summary:The Qualitative Outcome of Learning (QOL)measures the level of attainment in learning efforts through Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO)taxonomy. In this work, we attempted to evaluate the QOL of learners in geometry for secondary school children studying under the Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum. The learners are challenged to test their understanding in lessons related to specific topics, rather than just knowing the content. The contents of each topic is based on SOLO taxonomy and is set to test the understanding level of learners with increasing complexity in that topic. Different learning tools are employed - an intelligent tutoring system Shikshak, CD based technology and printed textual material of the same content through which learners appear to promote active cognitive learning. The focus of this study is on the change in the QOL following the use of these three different learning tools employing SOLO taxonomy.
