The Effect of Using E-learning Material on the Academic Achievement of the 6th grade Science students, and their perceptions of the Classroom Environment

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effect of e-learning material on the achievement ofthe 6^thgrade science students, and their perceptions of the classroom environment. The study triedspecifically to answer the following questions:

1. What is the effect of using e-learningmaterails on the academic achievement of the students?
2. What is the effect of using e-learning materials on the students' perceptions of the classroom environment?

To answer these questions, a sample of 6th grade students was chosenfrom a school and distributed into four groupsinboys’ schools; two groups were taught by the traditional way, and the two others were taught by the proposed way.  The groups were distributed randomly by simple random distribution. 

To achievethe purpose of this study, an achievement test that is composed of 20 items was used. The test includesacronbach's alpha coefficient of (0.86), anda constructiveLearning Environment questionnaire that uses thecronbach's alpha coefficient. After applying the strategies,the results of thestudy have shown the following:

• Differences between the two strategies in regard to their effect on the academic achievement of the students. The experimental learning strategy putperformed the other staregy.
• There were no statistically significant differences between the two strategies in regard to the students' perception of the classroom learning environment. There are also significant differences in the subscale (Personal Relevance) where the traditional strategy was better.
