The Effectiveness of the Geogebra Program and the Psychological Impact on the Orientation towards Digital Technologies among the First Intermediate Grade Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of the GeoGebra program in moving towards digital technologies among middle first graders.
For the objective of verifying the objective of the research, the following null hypothesis was formulated:
There is no statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average scores of the female students of the experimental group studying using the GeoGebra program and the average scores of the female students of the control group studying in the usual way in the measure of orientations towards digital technology. The researcher used the experimental design with partial control of the two equal groups,which includes two groups. The research sample consisted of (80) female students who were distributed equally between the two groups. The two groups were rewarded in variables (chronological age, IQ , previous achievement). The researcher also adjusted extraneous variables such as the confidentiality of the experiment and processes related to maturity and experimental extinction. The researcher identified the subject of engineering from the mathematics book for the first middle grade (3rd edition of 2018 )
The researcher formulated behavioral objectives for the scientific material, which amounted to (116) behavioral objectives . She also prepared teaching plans for the experimental group and teaching plans for the control group.With regard to research tools, the researcher has prepared a measure of orientations towards digital technology, where (28) items were drafted for the measure for middle first grade students, and the apparent validity of it was calculated by presenting it to a group of experienced arbitrators, and the content and validity of the construction were validated. Statistical means were used, such as the Kay box, the T-test for two independent samples, the Kyoder-Richardson equation 20, and the reliability was verified by the method of retesting (external validity) and reliability using the Fakronbach equation. The results showed the performance of the experimental group studied using the GeoGebra program on the control group students who studied in the usual method in the measure of orientations towards digital technology.
