The effect of computer-assisted instruction on students’ achievement in science education
Abstract
In this study, the effect
of traditional and computer-assisted instructon (CAI) methods on 7th grade
elementary school students' achievement in the topic of “Journey to the
Interior Structure of the Matter” was examined. Experimental design with
pre-test and post-test control group was used. The experimental and control
group students were taught for 8 weeks. Researchers used CAI (Adobe Flash,
Microsoft Office) in the experimental group and traditional learning methods in
the control group. The experimental group (N=23) and the control group (N=23)
were selected via simple random sampling. "Journey to the Internal
Structure of the Matter Success Test" developed by the researchers was
used to collect data. SPSS program was used for analysis of research data. In
the interpretation of the data, descriptive analyses and t-test were used.
Cohen d, also calculated the effect size. Results show that the success of the
students in both traditional learning and CAI methods has increased
significantly.
