Abstract

In this study, the effect of SMART Board usage in the 7th grade Human and
Environmental unit was investigated on the academic achievement of the students

the other was chosen as the experimental group. The Unit Achievement Test was
used as data collection tools. For 4 weeks, the students in the control group
processed the Human and Environmental unit according to the traditional methods
while the students in the experimental group were processed using the same unit
smart board activities. The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS 22
statistical package program and t-test was used in the evaluation of the
obtained data. In this study comprised of quantitative data on the results of
the analysis of the data obtained in academic achievement between the
experimental group and the control group, the experimental group in favor of
the students it was identified as statistically significant difference.
Furthermore, according to the results of the application recall test, the
recall rate of the students in the experimental group is higher than the
students in the control group. In the data obtained in this study; to the 7th
grade students of the junior high school, the use of SMART Board in the teaching of the Human and
Environmental unit has achieved academic success and easier to remember learned
information.
