Olasılık Öğretiminde Bilgisayar Destekli Öğretimin Rolü

Öz

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

Öz

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.
