THE EFFECT OF MATERIALS DEVELOPED INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE HARDWARE FOR THE ALGORITHM COURSE ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS
Project no. 853 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
In this project, a mobile learning environment was created for the students of computer and instructional technology education (CEIT) department to use in the ‘Algorithm’ course. This mobile learning environment includes materials developed for the course. A quasi-experimental design was used to investigate the effect of the developed environment on students' academic achievement. Fifty-four students participated in the project and students were divided into equal experimental and control groups. While the experimental group students used the mobile learning application developed, no activity was done to the control group students. Academic achievement of the experimental and control groups was compared using pre-test, post-test and retention test. As a result of the project, it was observed that the students' being in experimental and control groups did not show a statistically significant difference. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference between the pre-test, post-test and retention test scores of the experimental and control groups. However, when the statistical results were analyzed on the basis of groups, it was observed that both groups provided information retention.
