The Effect of Computer Assisted Instruction on Achievement and Attitude of Primary School Students

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of using computer assisted teaching method.
The model of the study is experimental design. A sample of 46 students was randomly selected and
assigned into experimental and control groups. While the lessons of the experimental group were
taught with computer based teaching method, the lessons of the control group students were taught
with classical teaching methods. The data were obtained by using mathematical achievement test
and by using mathematics attitude scale. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests at a .05 level
of significance. According to results, the mathematical achievements of all students increased after
this process; however the improvement of the experimental group students is higher than control
group students. Besides, the average scores of experimental group students obtained from
mathematics attitude scale after the teaching process is significantly higher than their scores obtained
before the teaching process.
