The Impact of Using Prezi for Teaching "Technology" for the Six Grade Students at Irbid 1st Directorate of Education from their Perspectives

Abstract

This study explored the impact of using the Prezi program for teaching technology to sixth-grade students at the Irbid 1st Directorate of Education. Recognizing the necessity for engaging teaching methodologies in a subject as rich and diverse as technology, the study evaluated Prezi's effectiveness against traditional teaching methods. Employing a quasi-experimental design, two tools, a post-achievement test and an attitude scale, were used. Results indicated a statistically significant improvement in achievement and attitude for students taught using Prezi compared to those taught through traditional methods. The findings further revealed a direct positive correlation between students' attitudes towards learning technology and their academic achievements. This research underscores the potential of modern, interactive teaching methods, specifically Prezi, in enhancing student achievement and fostering positive attitudes towards learning technology.
