Abstract
ICT endows with a wide range of aids to solve problems and accomplishing tasks. ICT is
now a signifcant element of the basic content of each of the disciplines that students study
at the school level. In addition, ICT provides generic “productivity tools” that cut across
all of the disciplines that students study. It is a dynamic feld, growing rapidly in breadth
and depth. Basic hardware capabilities of ICT, such as computer speed, computer storage
capacity, telecommunications bandwidth, and the installed base are all growing rapidly. The
next 15-20 years will likely bring us increases in computer speed, memory capacity, and
telecommunications bandwidth by a factor of 1,000 or more. These hardware improvements,
along with continued progress in software, will have aprofound impact on the societies of
our world.While moving on the same trail, the investigators have developed anIT-Enabled
Instructional Package in science for class X. In this context, an effort has been made to assess
the opinion of subject experts for effectiveness of IT-Enabled Instructional Package (ITEIP)
in science (Biology) for X class students. In the present study, an opinion scale wasdeveloped
to obtain the ratings of subject experts on various statements regarding validity of IT-Enabled
Instructional Package. The opinion scale was given to subject experts individually from
various educational institutions of North India. The results of the study revealed that most
of the experts favored the effectiveness of IT-Enabled Instructional Package (ITEIP).The
analysis disclosedthe fact that it is highly useful for teachers as well as studentsand modify
of the role of teachers as facilitator. It is determined that the inclusion of ITEIP in routine
classroom teachingishelpful in increasing the achievement level of students at own pace in
motivating and fascinating way in today competitive education system.
