The Effect of Teaching Laboratory Work Using Computer Simulation in the Achievement of Tenth Grade Students in the Field of Physics in the Soil Directorate of the Southern Mazar District

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of teaching laboratory work using computer simulation on the achievement of tenth grade students in physics, and to find out whether there are differences due to the gender variable. The experimental sample (40) male and female students and the female control (39) male and female students from the Directorate of Education of the Southern Mazar Brigade for the academic year (2010/2011) AD, and they were divided into four groups, two experimental and two controlling, so that there were two divisions for females, one control and the other experimental, as well as for males. A computer simulation program and an achievement test were built, the significance of the test validity and stability were verified, and the equivalence of the experimental and control groups was confirmed by applying a pre-test. The study concluded that there were differences between the two groups in the achievement of tenth grade students in physics due to the method of teaching and in favor of the experimental group (which was taught by computer simulation).
