Abstract :
The purpose of this research was to study the effectiveness of traditional teaching- learning based on participatory education based on the use of PowerPoint, blog, discussion forum and virtual network on satisfaction and academic achievement of the 10th grade students. This quasi-experimental study was conducted for the 10th grade students of the natural sciences in the academic year of 2016-17 in the 20th district of Tehran. A cluster was selected from high school girls including 3 classrooms (16 students, 13 people and 18 students) and biology course was chosen for the study. The data collection instruments included satisfaction questionnaire made by the researcher in addition to the academic scores. Its content validity was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by the test-retest method (r = 0.76). t test was applied to analyze the achievement test scores. Moreover, in order for the data analysis, Levine’s Test was given to analyze the homogeneity of the variances. ANOVA Analysis was done to determine the effectiveness of the three selected learning methods (PowerPoints, weblogs, forums, and virtual networks). The results of the study showed that the participatory learning method is effective in the students’ achievements and the level of satisfaction about the teaching and learning methods. Based on the findings, the most influential techniques included the use of weblogs and forums. One of the reasons for using weblogs was considered to be the unlimited data sorting, presentation, colorful displaying of content, adding image sound, as well as adding links in useful order in a part of the job.
