The Effect of Using Smart Board on Mathematics Achievement and Retention of Seventh Grade Students

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of using smart board on mathematics
achievement and retention of seventh grade students. To achieve this purpose a study sample
of (103) students was selected from the seventh grade. This sample was divided into two
groups. One group was randomly chosen to be the experimental group that studied
mathematics using smart board; the other was the control group that studied mathematics
using traditional method and board. The instrument of the study was an achievement test
which was used to measure mathematics achievement and retention of the students. Data
analysis procedures using T-test for independent samples revealed a positive effect of using
smart board on students` achievement and retention in mathematics.
