The impact of the EIN supported math education on students' achievement and opinions in 5th grade geometry teaching

The aim of this study is to observe the effect of Education and İnformatics Net (EİN) supported math teaching on students' success in geometry teaching 5th grade level and to observe students' comments on EİN. This study was conducted in the 2nd term of 2018-2019 school year. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were implemented. Pre-test and post-test controlled grouped quasi-experimental design was used in the research's quantitative part. While 5th grade geometry subjects to one group was taught via course books and concrete materials, the other group was exposed to EİN supported math teaching methods. The research sample is limited, Giresun city, 34 secondary school students, of whom 17s are experimental group and 17s are control group. An achievement test consists of 25 questions was developed by the researcher and its validity and reliability were checked by experts in the field. The achievement test was implemented through both groups as pre-test, post-test and permanency test after 8 weeks. The collected data was administered through SPSS 24.0 package program. Paired t-test and unpaired t-test were used to analyze the collected data. Students were asked to answer the beforehand prepared feedback form, that consists of questions about the use of EİN in the qualitative part of the research. When the quantitative data results are analyzed, both of the groups have succeeded in learning 5th grade geometry subjects. However, it is seen that experimental group students are more successful than the ones in control group. Permanent learning happened in both of the groups. In addition, it is clear that students have positive attitudes towards EİN according to qualitative data results. Key words: EBA, 5th grade geometry teaching, geometry
