CHAPTER 3
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

The investigator has conducted a survey in A

study on the effectiveness of Audio visual Aids in social
Science and well. prepared questions was distributed

question do you like the use of audio visual aid for teaching 85%
have responded positively and 15 % only negatively. To the
question can you see the historical events through the use of
