The Effect of Using Web 2.0 Tools on Smart Boards on Primary School Students' Mathematics Lesson Achievement, Anxiety, and Attitudes towards Smart Boards
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of web 2.0 tools on primary school first-grade students' mathematics lesson achievement, anxiety and attitudes towards the smart board. In the research, the quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was preferred. In this direction, the study was conducted with 25 students in the control group and 26 students in the experimental group for five weeks. Mathematics lessons were taught with smart boards and course materials in the control group and with web 2.0 tools and course materials on the smart board in the experimental group. Mathematics achievement test, smart board attitude survey and math anxiety scale were used as data collection tools. While analyzing the data, dependent and independent groups t-test analyses were used to compare the pre-test and post-test averages of the experimental and control groups. According to the results, there were significant differences in favor of the experimental group in the post-tests. It has been concluded that using web 2.0 tools for mathematics lessons has led to significant changes in the increase of students' achievement in mathematics lessons, the development of their attitudes towards the smart board, and the decrease of their mathematics anxiety level. The results are discussed in detail, and suggestions for practitioners and researchers are provided.
