The impact of two types of blogs (individually cooperatively)‎ on achievement and motivation in terms of a number of computer concepts for the students at the faculty of education at al-baha university

Abstract EN

The emergence of web 2.0 technologies has created new opportunities in the field of computer concepts.

Blogs are used to present information in an interesting and easily accessible format, save time and keep learners from becoming bored.

Furthermore, blogs are valuable platforms for learning, as they can be used during class activities, as well as out-of-class assignments, in order to increase learners' achievement and motivation.

Therefore, this research focuses on the use of blogs to teach computer concepts, which have not been largely focused on in previous studies undertaken at the College of Education at Al-Baha University.

The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of using blogs (individually/cooperatively) on achievement and motivation in terms of a number of computer concepts.

The study used a quasi-experimental approach to prepare the literature framework and two measurement tools, including an achievement test and achievement motivation scale.

The study sample consisted of 44 learners.

The researcher used a t-test to measure the differences between the two experimental groups, those working individually and cooperatively.

The results showed that there are statistically significant differences between the mean students' scores of the first and second experimental group in the post-tests.

Indeed, the first experimental group, which wrote their blog collaboratively, showed a greater level of study achievement and achievement motivation compared with the second experimental group that wrote blogs individually, thus it can be concluded that cooperating to write a blog is a more effective tool when teaching and learning.
