Jerk Technology was proposed by Sansanwal (1990) as an instructional method to enhance the learning of students. In the present study the effect of this technology on achievement in mathematics of students has been studied. To this end, 46 eleventh grade students were taught through jerk technology where as 50 students were considered for control group and they were taught with traditional approach of lecture cum – discussion. The data was analyzed with the help of 2 × 2 ANCOVA and t-test. The results of the study showed that jerk technology was more effective than lecture method in teaching mathematics to eleventh class students.
