Effect of Mobile Instructional Design on Student Perception of Distance Learning
Abstract
Learning through mobile applications has become more relevant as mobile tools have evolved. The COVID-19 outbreak that spread across the globe in 2019 promoted to a brief period of distance learning. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the students' perceptions of distance learning were affected by the use of a mobile application designed for a seventh-grade mathematics course. The research was performed using quasi-experimental design. The study was conducted in the distance education process with 7th grade students studying in a secondary school in the 2020-2021 academic year. The mobile application was used to deliver the instruction to the students in the experimental group, whereas the control group received instruction based on the textbook. To collect the data for the study, Yıldırım et al. (2014) designed the "Student Opinions Scale for Distance Education". T-tests were used to assess the data for dependent and independent samples, respectively. The study revealed a substantial difference in the post-test results of the students in the experimental and control groups. It was discovered that there was no significant difference between the pre and posttest scores of the control group students' opinions on distance education and that there was a substantial increase in the experimental group students' attitudes on distance education between the two assessments. According to the findings, it has been suggested that by creating mobile applications in various ways and including them into the distance learning process, the impacts of using them for mathematics classes on distance learning can be studied.
