The effect of using a computer in the collection of and trends in the fifth grade students in the preparatory material geographic

Abstract

Aimed at the current search to know the effect of computer use in the collection and trends of female fifth-grade intermediate in the subject of geography, and formed the research sample of (50) female students from the fifth grade preparatory high school in the liberation of the academic year (2008-2009) was divided into two equal and unequal in the number of variables that may affect the safety of experimental design, where design was selected groups Almtkavitin experimental and control such as designing experimental research, has been selected ten topics displaced due to the geographical material during the first semester.The researchers prepared lesson plans for the control group and experimental, have also been preparing research tools, namely the achievement test final, which consists of (20) question of the type of multiple choice, and the measure of trends in the students about substance geographical and consists of (30) paragraph has been extracted characteristics psychometric from the target and Althiat of these tools using the procedures and statistical methods appropriate for this purpose. The implementation of applied research where the measure of attitudes toward female students on the material geographical groups together before starting the experiment and its results analyzed, it was observed no statistically significant differences between the attitudes of female students in the Geographic article about two groups, which were considered mainly to carry out the research. The researchers teach students a control group Alaatadah way, and the teaching of female students of the experimental group using a computer.And continued the experiment for ten weeks from 17/10/2009 to 19/12/2009, after which the application was the final achievement test and measure students attitudes toward substance geographic groups students together at the same time and the use of analysis of variance to find the results of research and analysis and a process of equality and extract the psychometric properties of the tools in the search. In light of this, the researchers recommended the use of computers in teaching geography
