Study on the Effects of Educational Environment (Physical Space and Educational Tools) on Learning and Teaching Mathematics

Abstract

In the survey of educational problem regarding to increasing the interested students to education, evidences show that teaching aids effect to student learning. Psychological findings show that students learn the lesson better and easier by visual method and use of teaching aids. Generally teaching aids make students senses active and also cause educational process real, practical and more pleasant. To investigate the effect of teaching aids & learning environment on mathematical achievement Lesson, 120 second grade students at Shahre Kords schools were chosen randomly and divided in control and experiment groups. Experiment groups learned mathematics by teaching aids. Training control group had normal manner. In opinion of students teaching aids & learning environment had positive effect to mathematics learning. The results of hypothesis' test show that components of educational environment (lighting system, sound, painting, etc.) have a significant role in learning mathematics (P< 0.05). Learning environmentcomponents (lighting system, sound, painting, etc.) has effected to students performance in mathematics learning.
