In the present study, a reaction scale was developed to obtained the response of subject experts on five-point rating scale for various statements regarding validity of multimedia package. The reaction scale was given to experts individually from various educational institution of north India. The results of the investigation revealed that most of the experts favoured the effectiveness of multimedia package (MMP) for teaching prospective teachers. It is also determined that the inclusion of MMP in their classroom teaching is helpful in increasing their learning outcome as well as in improving their attention and developing scientific outlook as in case of present prospective teachers training programme.
