Abstract

Bu çalışma, bilgisayar destekli öğretimin (BDÖ) öğrencilerin olasılık
kavramlarını öğrenmelerine etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda
geliştirilen Olasılık Başarı Testi kontrol gruplu araştırma tasarımı ile deney
öncesi ve sonrası deney ve kontrol grubundan 48 yedinci sınıf öğrencisine
uygulanmıştır. Veriler, kovaryant olarak bir ön test alındıktan sonra puanlar
üzerinde bir kovaryans analizi (ANCOVA) yapılarak etki boyutu değerleri
hesaplanarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar bilgisayar destekli öğretimin
geleneksel öğretime kıyasla öğrencilerin olasılık kavramlarını
geliştirmelerinde daha etkili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu araştırma,
özellikle olasılığın öğretilmesi için tasarlanan bilgisayar destekli öğretim
etkinliklerinin, öğrencilerin matematikteki kavramsal anlamalarını
geliştirmeleri için güçlü ve faydalı olduğu ve etkili öğretim için daha iyi bir
yol olabileceği söylenebilir.

The Role of Computer-Assisted Instruction in the Teaching of Probability

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the role of
computer-assisted instruction (CAI) on students’ achievement concerning the
subject of ‘probability’. The experimental pre-and post-test with control group
research design was carried out with 48 seventh grade students by conducting The
Probability Achievement Test (PAT) to all groups. Data were analyzed by
employing an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) on post-test scores with a
pre-test as the covariate and by calculating effect size values. The results
revealed that the CAI was more effective in helping the students develop the
probability concepts than traditional instruction (TI). Specifically, this
study highlights that the CAI tasks that designed for teaching probability were
powerful and useful for students to enhance their understanding of important
concepts of mathematics and might be used as a new and better way of teaching
probability.
