A Meta-Analysis Study on the Effect of the Use of Smartboard in the Teaching of Mathematics and Science to Student’s Academic Achievement

In this study, a meta-analysis study was conducted to investigate the effect of the use of smart board on students’ academic achievement in the teaching of mathematics and science. In this meta-analysis research, 35 studies carried out between 2008-2018 were analyzed and 25 studies suitable for inclusion criteria were combined with the meta-analysis method. Because of the heterogeneous structure, random effects model was used while combining the studies. At the end of the current research, the effect size of the smart board usage on students’ achievement in mathematics and science was found as 0.807. According to the classification, this rate is a large impact size. The research leads to conclusion that usage of smart boards has a large and positive impact on improving students’ academic achievement. While the effect size to the academic achievement varies according to the sample group, it does not vary with respect to publication type, publication year, sample size and disciplinary areas
