Effect of the use of technology in mathematics course on attitude: A meta analysis study

Abstract

Today, there are many studies which have been carried out independently on a certain topic but with different results. There are also many studies which examine the effects of the use of technology in mathematics education on the attitude towards mathematics. Fourteen studies selected in accordance with the objective carried out during 2002-2015 were included in the study. Of these studies, 7 were theses (master’s thesis + doctorate), whereas 7 were articles. These studies have been carried out in primary school (2), secondary school (7) and high school (5) levels. The effect of using technology during mathematics courses was first examined by taking all studies into consideration as a result of which it was observed that the effect was statistically significant at a low level. Afterwards, the studies were examined by separating them according to the magnitudes of influence, types and the studies group as a result of which it was determined that they had statistically significant effects on student attitudes at a low level. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
