Computers and 2D Geometric Learning of Turkish Fourth and Fifth Graders
Olkun, Sinan; Altun, Arif; Smith, Glenn
British Journal of Educational Technology, v36 n2 p317-326 Mar 2005
This research investigated the possible impacts of computers on Turkish fourth-grade students geometry scores and further geometric learning. The study used a pretestinterventionposttest experimental design. Results showed that students who did not have computers at home initially had lower geometry scores. However, these differences were minimised with an appropriate intervention containing computer-based Tangram puzzles. This suggests that at schools, it seems more effective to integrate mathematical content and technology in a manner that enables students to do playful mathematical discoveries.
