THE EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTED EDUCATION ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SCIENCE LESSONS AND THEIR INTEREST IN SCIENCE TOPICS
Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of technology-supported science education on the academic achievement and interest in science subjects of 6th grade students. A pre-test-post-test matched control group model, one of the quasi-experimental designs, was used in the study. The sample of the study consisted of 52 students studying in the 6th grade of a middle school in Karaman in the 2022-2023 academic year. Data were collected through the Academic Achievement Test for the Solar System Unit and the Interest Scale for Science Subjects. The application was carried out for 5 weeks. While the lessons were taught according to the current program in the control group, the lessons were taught with technology-supported science education in the experimental group. As a result of the research, it was found that technology-supported science education had a significant effect on academic achievement and this effect was in favor of the experimental group. However, despite the increase in the scores of the experimental group in terms of interest in science subjects, no significant difference was found between the two groups. According to the results of the research, suggestions were made such as increasing the use of technology in science classes, using technology not only in the Solar System and Eclipses unit but also in other units, and providing schools with the necessary technology infrastructure and materials.
