In this study, the effect of teaching mitosis and meiosis subjects using computeraided teaching materials on academic success was investigated. The mixed method,
which combines quantitative and qualitative research methods, and sequential
explanatory design, one of the mixed method techniques, was used in the study. A
pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental research design was used in the
study, and the data were determined using parametric and non-parametric analysis
techniques. The experimental study of the research was carried out in the fall
semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. 10th grade students of a private primary
high school in Çankaya district of Ankara province participated in the study. While
the computer-aided teaching material prepared by web design was applied to the
experimental group, the control group was taught with the traditional expression
method. While collecting the data in the study, "Biology Achievement Test" was
prepared to measure the academic success of the students and this test was
administered to the students as a pre-test and a post-test. The data obtained from the
study were analyzed using the T-test in the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social
Science) program. In addition, the opinions of the experimental group students about
the applied computer-aided teaching material were determined. "Structured Written
Interview Form" was applied to 5 students selected by random sampling method from
the experimental group. The views of these students about the computer-aided
teaching method were evaluated by determining themes with content analysis
technique. According to the data obtained from the achievement test, there was no
statistically significant difference between the computer aided teaching method and
the traditional teaching method. According to the results obtained from the structured
written interview form, it was understood that computer assisted education has
advantages over traditional teaching for learning mitosis and meiosis. The highlights
of these advantages; students' remembering the subject, envisioning abstract
concepts related to the subject, preparation time for the exam, accessing the resources
and repeating the subject.
