Abstract:
In the study, it was researched the effect of internet-based application on student
success. Internet-based application was used at the teaching of triangles subject which is
included in 8th grade units of triangles and algebra. The study was carried out over the
internet with a computer software program: Vitamin Program. The study was carried out
with total 37 8th grade students in two separate classes in a study centre in 2011-2012
school years. It was carried out internet-based teaching material on the experiment
group and also conventional teaching method and materials on the control group. In the
research, “the achievement test consisting of triangles subject” was carried out as a data
collection tool in pre-test and post-test both groups. As a result of the research, success
grade of experiment group which was carried out internet-based application applied with
Vitamin Program is higher than success grade of control group in which was used
conventional teaching method. In consequence of the study, it was suggested that
internet-based teaching programs, which call and attract students’ attention must be
used in a more frequent way.
