Abstract :
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate The Effectiveness of Computer-Based Dynamic Scaffolding on Academic Performance and Motivation for Academic Achievement of Sixth Grade Male Students in District 3 of Shiraz City.
research methodology: This research is applied research in terms of its purpose and causal-comparative in terms of its data collection method. The statistical population of the research includes sixth-grade male students of primary schools in District 3 of Shiraz city, which according to the report of Education and Training of District 3 of Shiraz city, the number of male students is 1000. The sampling method was cluster random. To collect information, two questionnaires were used: the Helmrich and Spence (1977) Academic Achievement Motivation Questionnaire and the Dupal et al. (1991) Academic Performance Questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and content and face validity were used to measure reliability. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics, which at the descriptive statistics level; frequency, mean and standard deviation and at the inferential statistics level, the analysis of covariance test was used.
Findings: The results showed that computer-based dynamic scaffolding has a significant effect on academic performance and achievement motivation of sixth grade male students. Computer-based dynamic scaffolding has a significant effect on the dimensions of academic achievement motivation (except for task bias). Computer-based dynamic scaffolding has a significant effect on the dimensions of academic performance.
Conclusion: Computer-based dynamic scaffolding training is considered to be an important and vital factor in motivating students to achieve academic success and academic performance, and based on such an approach, the cornerstone of this research was laid.
