The Impact of Web-Based Educational Software on Smoking Addiction: A Study on High School Students' Knowledge and Emotional Development

Öz

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of educational software designed to combat smoking addiction on the knowledge levels and positive emotional development of high school students. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employed an experimental research model conducted in two 10th-grade classes. Prior to the intervention, a pre-test using the 'For a Smoke-Free Life' scale was administered to each class. The web-based educational software, 'Connect to Life, Not Cigarettes' (CLNC), was presented to the students during two course hours. A post-test was conducted after the presentation using the same scale as the pre-test. The data collected from both tests were analyzed using the SPSS statistical program. Findings: As a result of this research, it was concluded that CLNC had a positive effect (z = -4.042, p < .05, r = - 0.52) on the knowledge level, but had no effect (z = -1,595, p > .05, r= - 0.20) on the mood levels of high school students. However, in the case of gender, while it had a positive effect on both the mood (z = -2.08, p < .05, r = -0.35) and knowledge levels (z =-3.59, p < .05, r = 0.61) of female students, it did not have any effect (z = -0.70, p > .05, r = 0.14) on the mood levels of male students. Highlights: The findings of the study provided evidence that web-based educational software was partially effective in increasing students' knowledge and mood levels in quitting smoking. Concentrating research on this issue may contribute to the improvement of current understanding.
