testing device; feedback to teaching. The Formal discipline theory of education is the outcome of Facutly psychology. Micro-teaching was developed by Dwight W. Allen, USA (1961). Micro-teaching is a scaled down teaching encounter in a class size and class time. It is a teacher training technique for skill development, not a teaching technique. Formative evaluation provides immediate feedback leading to diagnosis and remediation. Summative evaluation may be attempted at the end of a single lesson, a unit, a term or a course. An Achievement test intends to measure only how much 5 is achieved by a student. But a Diagnostic test is ii.tended to find out how much is not achieved by a student and why. Prognostic test predicts the future performance of a student in a particular area.

The term Brain storming was first coined by Osbron, to describe a group process of creative problem solving. Linear programming (Extrinsic programming) was developed by B. E Skinner and it is based on his Theory of operant conditioning.' Branching (Intrinsic programming) was developed by Norman A, Cowder, an American technician. This type of programme employs multiple choice response pattern. The Dalton plan was developed by Helen Parkhurst at the Dalton High School in Massachessets, USA. Armstrong advocated Heuristic method in 1884. Sidney L Pressy of Ohio Universtiy, America, developed Adjunct programming (Adjunct auto instruction).

Constructing a hypothesis, 4. Constructing a research design, 5. Determining a sample design, 6. Collecting the data, 7. Analysis and interpretation of data, 8. Reporting. Hypothesis is an intelligent guess and it should be tentative and testable in nature. It provides a frame work for drawing conclusions and facilitates statistical analysis Sampling error is defined as the difference between the value of parameter and that of a corresponding statistics. It can be decreased by increasing the size of the sample. A statistic is a measure based on observations of the characteristics of a sample. A statistic computed from a sample may be used to estimate a parameter, the corresponding value in the population from which the sample

The characteristics of experimental research- control, manipulation, observation, replication. Expost facto Research is a method of teasing Out pOSsible antecedents of events that have happened and is a research without manipulation. A eon-skewed mesokurtic distribution is known as normal distribution. It is a bell shaped symmteric curve. Rejection of a null hypothesis when it is really true is known as a Type I error. Not rejecting a null hypothesis when it is really false is known as a Type II error.

A hypothesis is a basis for reasoning without any assumption of its truth. Hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. Scientific hypothesis is a scientific theory. Answer Key l.D, 2.13, 3.1), 4.C, 5.C, 6.C, 7.A, 8.13, 9.1), 10.A, 1 l.B, 12.1)
