Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the factors affecting the student gain in achievement in English classes and to determine the factors that are related with the student scores on English classes by using a computer assisted language-learning (CALL) software, called DynEd. More than 600 grade 4 to grade 7 students from 10 secondary schools were invited to take part in a pre-test, a post-test, and a student survey between fall 2009 and spring 2011. Two separate regression analyses were run to probe the research questions. It was found that being a student of grade 6 and grade 7 significantly matters in terms of achievement in English scores as well as possessing MS Word and MS Excel skills. Moreover, the DynEd-related activities had no impact on achievement scores at all. However, students who felt themselves comfortable in Excel performed worse in achievement.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı öğrencilerin İngilizce dersi başarısını etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek ve DynEd isimli bilgisayar destekli dil eğitimi yazılımının öğrencilerin İngilizce başarısına etkisini belirlemektir. 2009 Bahar ve 2011 Güz süresince 10 ilköğretim okulunda bulunan 4. sınıf ve 7. sınıf arasındaki yaklaşık 600 öğrenciye ön-test, sontest ve anket uygulanmıştır. Problem durumunu irdeleyebilmek için iki farklı regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre, öğrencinin hangi sınıfta olduğunun (6. ve 7. sınıflar için) yanı sıra MS Word ve MS Excel becerisinin de İngilizce başarısına anlamlı etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Fakat DynEd yazılımının başarıyı etkilediğine dair bir bulguya rastlanmamıştır. Bununla birlikte, MS Excel bilgisi iyi olan öğrencilerin İngilizce performanslarının düşük olduğu gözlenmiştir.
