Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of the "Moodle LMS which was based on authentic learning approach" and "online learning which was based on authentic learning approach environments" on “mathematics achievement” and “online authentic learning self-efficacy" levels of students in a basic mathematics course. In accordance with the purpose of this study, an experimental design with pre-test and post-test control group was used as the research design. Within the framework of the experimental model, two experimental and one control group were formed with random assignments and were included in different learning environments. Two data collection tools (Mathematics Achievement Test and Online Authentic Learning Self-Efficacy Scale) were developed. As a result, it was seen that there was a significant difference between the mathematics achievement test scores and between the online authentic learning self-efficacy scores when the experimental and control groups were tested later. They had all been doing a Basic Mathematics course in three different learning environments. The significant difference within the context of the two variables was in favour of the working group of the study’s students who had their education in a blended learning environment (both traditional face to face and online learning) which was based on the authentic learning approach on Moodle LMS. Key words: Distributed learning environments, human-computer interface, improving classroom teaching, interactive learning environments, post-secondary education.
Highlights
The use of internet in education has led to several innovations and developments
According to the Kruskal-Wallis H test conducted in Table 4, the p value is .004 < .05 and that means there was a significant difference between the post-test mathematics achievement test mean ranks of Experiment I, II and the Control groups
In addition to blended education, having a basic mathematics course education adapted with the authentic learning approach and face to face courses which are appropriate for presenting this approach, integrating technology combined with multimedia environments via Moodle LMS and within the concept, the concept of “authentic multimedia learning environments” was accepted
Summary
The use of internet in education has led to several innovations and developments. In the beginning, these innovations and developments helped to expedite and increase communication, the interaction between student-student and student-teacher, and brought about the dissemination of educational services. With the Covid-19 pandemic, which affects many countries in the world and face-to-face education was interrupted a long time ago and the distant education system was introduced. Distance education applied at different levels entered into our lives when most of the stakeholders (such as teachers, students, instructors, managers) were foreigners (Dikmen and Bahceci, 2020; Yamamoto and Telli, 2020)
