Interpretation of Word Problems and The Effect of Web Based Educational Simulations on Their Solutions

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to make the students involve with the simulation environment with the developed practice and to develop their problem solving abilities by making easy their understanding of word problems. For this goal, a web based simulation environment which could be manipulated related to the defined movement and pool problems was designed in the light of the defined questions in the curriculum. The research was designed according to semi-experimental pattern which has equalized control group. It was applied in two different 8th grade classes on 44 students in total in the city center of Trabzon in 2008-2009 spring semester. In the research it was benefited from both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, in the study as the data collection instrument to measure students’ cognitive achievements, it was benefited from word problems achievement test which had 20 items and its KR-20 coefficient was 0,86, observations and from the interviews which were made with the students. The study involved 19 students in experiment group and 25 students in the controlled group. It was used web based education in the experiment group, however, in controlled group, traditional education was used. For the analysis of the data collected in the research, t-test as used for the independent groups. At the end of the research, it was seen that in understanding and solving the word problems, the students in the experiment group who used web based education environment which included simulation environment was more successful than the controlled group who used the traditional method. After the interviews it was concluded that the students in the experiment group had positive thoughts about the web based simulations environment. It is defined that students are more motivated to the lesson and they have an increasing self-confident in problem solving in simulation environment
