Abstract EN

This study aimed to know the effect of teaching with an educational software program on students’ direction towards self-learning and educational attainment.

The study was conducted on a sample of second year students of psychology (at the University of El Hadj Lakhdar - Batna) and used the experimental method in designing the experimental group and the control group; the experimental group was taught using a computer-based program including (28) students and the control group used the usual method including (24) students.

A pretest has been made first and after a workout of five weeks a posttest was added in which a questionnaire of the students’ direction towards self-learning was applied in addition to an achievement test.

The results of the statistical analysis showed the presence of statistically significant differences in the orientation of students towards self-education on the part of the experimental group, while those results proved insignificant in what concerns students’ educational attainment.
