The Impact of EBA (Educational Informatics Network) Assisted Math Teaching in 5th Grade Fractions on Students’ Achievements

In this study, the effects of the teaching of fractions through animation based contents on EBA and traditional methods of teaching on students’ achievement were investigated. This study was designed as a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test control group. Five-week teaching plan was implemented on both groups. In the experimental group, the fractional operations were taught by the researcher through EBA, but in the control group, the fractions were taught by the teachers with traditional methods. This study was conducted in a public school in Van province. The experimental (N = 20) and control (N = 23) groups were determined with purposeful sampling method. Independent samples t-test was used in data analysis. Students' opinions were also collected. It was concluded that the teaching through EBA had a significant effect on the knowledge of the fifth-grade students’ fractions. The educational and methodological dimensions were also discussed considering the obtained results
