The Effect of Electronic Learning on the Achievement of Sixth Grade Students in Science

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to explore the effect of Elearning
on the achievement of sixth graders in Saudi Arabia in
Science. To achieve this aim, both an electricity unit was developed
electronically, and an achievement test consisting of (33) items. An
available sample of (80) participants were assigned as the
experimental group, who were taught by E-learning, and the control
group who were taught by traditional method to the control one.
The findings of the study revealed that there was a significant difference in students’ achievement in science due to the teaching method (E-learning, Traditional) in favor of e-learning. Whereas no significant difference in their achievement was found due to gender (male, female). Moreover, no significant differences were found due to the interaction between the teaching method and gender.
Depending upon the results of the study some recommendations and
suggestions were derived such as, the importance utilizing of elearning
in teaching sixth graders in science and examining of the
