TY - JOUR T1 - MyMathLab & WebAssign: Students’ Perceptions of their use in Mathematics AU - Serhan, Derar AU - Almeqdadı, Farouq PY - 2019 DA - August JF - The Eurasia Proceedings of Educational and Social Sciences JO - EPESS PB - ISRES Publishing WT - DergiPark SN - 2587-1730 SP - 1 EP - 4 VL - 13 LA - en AB - Enhancingstudents’ conceptual understanding and encouraging them to be involved in theclassroom discussions are important for instructors of mathematics. The use oftechnology is an essential part in teaching and learning mathematics asemphasized by The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles andStandards for School Mathematics. Web-based homework management systemsprovide alternatives to the traditional pen-and-paper based approaches. Thesesystems provide a flexible instructional tool that offer students immediatefeedback, track their performance, facilitate student-centered environment,allow instructors to give students more frequent assignments, provides theinstructors with the ability to create multimedia enhanced questions that caninclude video, animation, or audio and facilitate students’ communications withtheir instructor. The goal of using these programs is to enhance students’ learningand understanding of the different mathematical concepts. The purpose of thispaper is to present students’ perceptions of the advantages and disadvantagesof using web-based homework management systems, in particular MyMathLab andWebAssign.
