Özet:

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using interactive whiteboard and computer technology on graduate language and mathematics student’ performance in quadratic equation functions graphics. Two groups of language and mathematics graduate students were selected for the study; one for experimental group and the other for control group. The experimental group consists of 32 students, and control group consists of 33 students. The control group is thought by traditional learning whereas the experimental group is thought the same topic by interactive whiteboard and computer technology. Graphic Achievement Test (GAT), Attitudes toward Technology Scale (ATTS) and Attitude toward Mathematics Scale (ATMS) and interviews were used as a data collection instruments. GAT applied as a pre-test, post-test and delayed post-test on both of the groups. However the attitudes scales applied only experimental group before and after the treatment.
