The impact of using the cloud computing to teaching algorithms upon the student achievement, attitudes and retention of information

Abstract EN

The purpose of the research is to find out the effect of using cloud computing in teaching algorithms in the achievement of students and their attitudes and keeping information for a sample of first grade students in the computer systems department at the Technical Institute / Nassiriya for the 2015-2016 academic year.

The sample consisted of (66) male and female students.

The sample was divided into three equal and equal groups in a number of variables affecting the safety of the experimental design of the research, which is the design of equal groups with the post-test: two groups and a control group.

Six topics were selected from the curriculum for theoretical algorithms during the first semester.

They defined the teaching objectives and prepared the teaching plans for each group.

The research tools were the final achievement test which consisted of (30) questions of multiple choice questions, (20) paragraphs and extracted the cykometric characteristics such as honesty and consistency using appropriate statistical methods Then, the initial application of the students' scale towards the use of cloud computing in education was applied to the students of the three groups together and analyzed the results.

There were no statistically significant differences between them.

The research found the superiority of the first experimental group on the second experimental group and the control group in the dependent search variables.

The research concluded the effectiveness of cloud computing in the achievement and trends towards the use of cloud computing in education and retention of information and recommended use in the teaching process.
