The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of online teaching on the academic achievement of B.Ed. students in the pedagogy of physical science. Specifically, the study sought to: (1) evaluate the impact of online teaching on student achievement, (2) identify significant differences between control and experimental groups based on selected variables, and (3) explore the overall influence of online instruction on learning outcomes in physical science. An experimental research design was employed, with a sample of 100 B.Ed. students from Chennai. A self-constructed achievement test developed by the researcher served as the primary instrument for data collection. The findings indicated that online teaching is significantly more effective than traditional teaching methods in enhancing student achievement in physical science pedagogy. Based on these results, it is recommended that online teaching strategies can be extended to other educational levels and implemented in all B.Ed. colleges across Tamil Nadu to promote effective science education.
