Analysis of Computer and Instructional Technologies Students’ Academic Success in Internet-Based Programming Course in terms of their Learning Styles
Abstract
In this study,
relationship between grades that students of Department of Computer and
Instruction Technology get from the internet-based programming language course
and their learning styles and according to their learning style, scores that
these students get from assessment exams types (classical and practical exams)
was investigated. Study was carried out on students that taken the
internet-based programming language course in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. Kolb
Learning Inventory (Version 3.0) as data collection tool was used. Techniques
of frequency, percentage and ANOVA were used for data analysis. According to
research results, learning styles of students were found as converging (% 41,7),
assimilating (% 35), diverging (%13,3), accommodating (%10). The
results indicated that there was no significant correlation between learning
styles of students and their midterm, final, and end-semester points. Learning
styles of students were found as converging,
assimilating, diverging, and accommodating from more to less for midterm exam and
as accommodating, converging, assimilating, and diverging for final exam, respectively.
