Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the elementary school students’ perception towards the traditional over smart classroom instruction. In the present study, hundred elementary school students from two Indian schools have been randomly selected as the sample of the study. The learners’ perception scores were analyzed by chi-square and Univariate factor analysis techniques. It was found that traditional instructional strategy, and the teachers’ knowledge, modes of transaction, skill of presentation, use of the blackboard, illustration with examples, questioning, reinforcement, and the feedback was comparatively better than smart class instruction.
