The digital technology in the online high school mathematics classroom

Abstract

The research objectives were to: 1) develop a quality digital technology in the online high school mathematics classroom, 2) compare the pre-test and post-test scores of students after learning via the digital technology in the online high school mathematics classroom, and 3) study the satisfaction of students who learned via the digital technology in the online high school mathematics classroom. The samples of this study were 20 students in high school mathematics classroom selected from students who registered for the mathematics subject. The instruments consisted of the digital technology, an evaluation form regarding the quality of media and contents, the pre-test and post-test assessment forms, and an evaluation form regarding student’s satisfaction towards the digital technology. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples. The research results showed that: 1) the digital technology achieved in media at an excellent level with the average score of 4.57 and quality of contents at an excellent level with the average score of 4.93, 2) the students who learned via digital technology had an average pre-test score of 64.75 and an average post-test score of 79.70, respectively. When comparing the pre-test and post-test scores, it was found that the post-test scores were higher than the pre-test scores with statistical significance at the level of .05 and 3) the students were overall satisfied with the digital technology. The students’ satisfaction was at a high level with the average score of 4.44.
