Abstract

The aim of this assay is to analyse the results of using smartboard in geometry lessons of 10. grade students. By looking at the results of experiment I will explain the advantages and disadvantages of using smartboards. To investigate the advantages of using smartboards in geometry lessons I made an 8 week experiment in Almaty Kazakh Turkish High School for Girls. In the experiment there were two homogenous groups of students. In one of the classes, which was my experimental group. I used smartboard and teach Vectors unit, in the second group, that was control group, there were no smartboard, by using only blackboard I explained the Vectors. Both of the groups wrote a pre-test at the beginning of the unit. At the end of experiment both of the groups wrote a post-test. Also I used sample t-test to determine whether there was a significant difference between the means. In the experiment there were 40 students that were similar in age, knowledge, performance and ability. As a result of the experiment there were a significiant difference between the means of exams of the groups. Experimental group made a better average from the post-test and other small exams. After 1 month I made a permanence test and check the results. The results show that the students in experimental group remember the topics more than the students in control group. That shows the advantage of using smartboard.
