Bilgisayar destekli istatistik öğretiminin başarıya ve istatistiğe karşı tutuma etkisi

Birçok araştırmacı bilgisayar destekli öğretimin istatistiği öğrenme üzerine etkisini araştırmıştır. Yapılan araştırmaların çoğunda istatistik derslerinde bilgisayar destekli öğretime yer vermenin öğrenci başarısını ve tutumunu olumlu düzeyde etkilediği bulunurken bazı araştırmalarda bu iki değişken üzerinde söz konusu etki önemsiz bulunmuştur. Bu araştırmanın amacı, bilgisayar destekli istatistik öğretiminin, öğrencilerin istatistik dersindeki başarı düzeylerine ve istatistik dersine karşı tutum düzeylerine etkisi olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Bu amaç için öntest – sontest kontrol gruplu deneysel araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları, istatistik derslerinde bilgisayar kullanmanın (internetten, görsel materyallerden, istatistik yazılımlardan yararlanmanın) istatistik dersindeki başarıyı ve istatistik dersine karşı tutumu artırdığını göstermektedir.

The effect of computer –assisted statistics instruction on achievement and attitudes toward statistics

A great number of researchers have explored the impact of computer assisted teaching of statistics. While most of these studies found that computer assisted teaching of statistics courses significantly improve student achievement level and their attitudes toward statistics, others found that the impact of computer assisted teaching was not significant in these two variables. The purpose of this study was to test if a computer-based teaching of statistics course segment has significant influence on students’ achievement levels and their attitudes toward the statistics course. For this purpose, a pretest-post test control experimental design was used. Results of the study showed that use of computers (utilization of statistical software, the internet, visually rich materials etc.) significantly enhances students’ achievement and attitude.
