This study examines the effect of Multimedia Instructional Learning Package in biology teaching on 9th standard students’ attitude towards biology. The research focused on 9th standard students from private school, Gurukula International School (GIS), Godlumuddenahalli, Vijayapura Hobli, Devanahalli Taluk, Bangalore Rural District. A sample of 40 students was divided into two groups: an experimental group receiving teaching instruction through Multimedia Instructional Learning Package (N=20) and a control group receiving instruction through traditional method (N=20). The intervention included animations, video, simulations, interactive activities, PowerPoint presentations along with user-friendly digital platforms like CDS, Pen drives. A Randomized Matching Control Group Pre-test Post-Test design was employed with 40 subjects out of total subjects. The Attitude towards Biology Learning Scale, developed by the researcher, measured students’ attitude through 60 items rated on a Likert scale from 5 (Strongly Agree) to 1 (Strongly Disagree). The scale’s reliability was confirmed through Split Half Method and Test-Retest method. Paired t-test and independent ‘t’ test was conducted for inferential analysis. The results were obtained with the help of SPSS Package and MS Excel, the level of significance was fixed at 0.05 and 0.01 levels. The results found that, the traditional teaching method may not have a substantial impact on the development of students’ attitude towards biology learning and the MILP-based teaching strategy has a positive and significant effect on the attitude development of 9th standard students. The comparative analysis of both groups demonstrate that, while the traditional teaching method did not lead to a significant improvement in students’ attitude towards Biology learning, the Multimedia Instructional Learning Package (MILP) resulted in a substantial positive change. The results emphasize the effectiveness of multimedia-based strategies in making Biology learning more engaging and appealing to students.
