The effectiveness of a multimedia program in the achievement of chemistry among students of the fourth scientific grade

Abstract

The present study aims at finding out (the effectiveness of a multimedia program in achieving chemistry among fourth-grade students) to achieve the objectives of the research, the following hypotheses s were formulated: “There is no difference with statistical significance at the level of (0.05) between the average of degrees of the experimental group of students who were taught according to the multimedia program and the average degree of the ordinary group who were taught according to the normal method in the achievement test in chemistry”. The experimental controlled design (experimental group and ordinary group) was selected with no equivalent of the pre- posttest in achievement. The sample consisted of (50) students in the Canadian high school for boya re which was deliberately chosen. An experimental group consisted of (23) students who studied according to the multimedia program and (27) students in the ordinary group studied according to the conventional method. The experimental and control groups were compared in the following variables: (age (months), intelligence, average grade of science, and previous information. (19) Daily teaching plan for the experimental group and the ordinary group was prepared. The experimental group was organized according to the stages of the multimedia program and the teaching plans of the control group according to the normal method The experiment was applied in the first semester of the academic year (2019-2020) and the experiment lasted (3)months. The tool was prepared: the achievement test. The tests consisted of (40) multiple choice types, and the psychometric properties were calculated and stabilized, the results were statistically treated using the t-test of two independent samples of equal number. The results showed that the experimental group studying according to a multimedia program was superior to their peers in the ordinary group, which was studied according to the usual way in the achievement test. Therefore, the current study recommends using the multimedia program in the teaching of chemistry, and proposes to conduct other studies of different stages and subjects to identify its effect in different variables.
