Teaching Using Modern Technological Tools (The Computer as a Model) and Its Role in Acquiring Scientific Concepts Among University Students: A Field Study at the University of Constantine 2

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the relationship between teaching using computers and the acquisition of scientific concepts among university students. It also sought to examine the differences in students’ scientific concept acquisition based on gender and academic specialization. The study adopted a descriptive correlational methodology, with a randomly selected sample of 185 male and female students. Two research instruments were used: a questionnaire on teaching using computers and another on the acquisition of scientific concepts.

For data analysis, the study utilized means, the independent samples T-test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient to investigate the relationship between computer-assisted instruction and the acquisition of scientific concepts.

The results indicated a statistically significant positive correlation between teaching using computers and the acquisition of scientific concepts. Additionally, no significant differences were found based on gender, while statistically significant differences were found based on academic specialization in favor of certain disciplines.
