The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of computer assisted instructional material prepared in R programme, on eight grade students’ permutation-combination and probability achievement and attitudes towards computer assisted learning. In this study, we have survey data for 74 randomly selected students which consists of 45 highly correlated explanatory variables with different measurement levels to model whether CAI material has been effective or not. For data reduction, we firstly presented pairwise comparison between schools and as a second method, we presented Categorical Principal Components Analysis to deal with multicollinearity problem among explanatory variables. Next, we used uncorrelated components instead of original correlated variables to fit regression model. While the program CATPCA in SPSS has been used in the analysis of data reduction, MINITAB 17 has been used in the analyses of linear models. Results of the first data reduction technique showed that only previous mathematics grade of the students was statistically significant factor in explaining probability achievement of the students. According to the results of CATPCA, general success of the students and basic socio-economic and technological factors affecting this situation and interaction of those factors with the secondary social situation of the family had a statistically significant effect on probability achievement of the students. Instruction method was found statistically significant factor in explaining students’ achievement in permutation-combination subjects in both data reduction techniques. None of the explanatory variables mentioned in the study were found statistically significant in explaining attitudes towards CAI in both techniques.

The Effects of dynamic geometry use on eighth grade students’ achievement in geometry and attitude towards geometry on triangle topic
Samur, Halime; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2015)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dynamic geometry based computer instruction on eighth grade students’ achievement in geometry, attitudes toward geometry and technology compared to traditional instruction. Moreover, it was aimed to get the students’ ideas about the effects of computer based instruction and to interpret their learning process. The study was quasi-experimental design that includes experimental and control groups. The sample of the study was 36 eighth grade students (...
The effects of computer-assisted instruction on the achievement, attitudes and retention of fourth grade mathematics students in North Cyprus
Pilli, Olga; Aksu, Meral (2013-03-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the educational software Frizbi Mathematics 4 on 4th grade student's mathematics achievement, retention, attitudes toward mathematics and attitude toward computer assisted learning. Two groups (experimental and control) of students from the state primary school in Gazimagusa, North Cyprus were used in this study. The control group was taught using a lecture-based traditional instruction and experimental group was taught using educational software, name...
The Effects of teaching linear equations with dynamic mathematics software on seventh grade students’ achievement
Doktoroğlu, Rezzan; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of teaching linear equations with Dynamic Mathematics Software (GeoGebra) on seventh grade students’ achievement compared to the regular instruction. Randomized posttest-only control group design was utilized in the study. 60 seventh grade students (32 girls and 28 boys) of a public school in Yenimahalle district in Ankara participated in the study. The study was conducted in 2011-2012 fall semester, lasting 9 class hours in three weeks. The data was ...
The effect of computer assisted instruction on the achievement, attitudes and retention of fourth grade mathematics course
Pilli, Olga; Aksu, Meral; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the computer software Frizbi Mathematics 4 on 4th grade student’s mathematics achievement, retention, attitudes toward mathematics and attitude toward computer assisted learning. Two groups (experimental and control) of primary school students from “Sht. Osman Ahmet” primary school in Gazimagusa, North Cyprus were used in this study. Control group was taught using a lecture-based traditional instruction and experimental group was taught using education...
The effects of constructive learning method on students' academic achievement, retention of knowledge, gender and attitudes towards science course in "matter of structure and characteristics" unit
Boğar, Yurdagül; KALENDER, SUNA; SARIKAYA, MUSTAFA (2012-02-05)
The purpose of this research is to examine on students' academic achievement, retention of knowledge and attitudes towards science course in matter of structural and characteristic subject with constructivist education version. This study was conducted with students 7/A (N=34) and 7/B (N=34) located in Ankara, during the spring period of 2008-2009 academic year. The study used a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test and post-test control group was used in this study. According to this research mo...
