Abstract :

AbstractThe aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mastery learning, meaningful learning and e-learning on the basic mathematical concepts of second grade male students in Isfahan. The research method was quasi-experimental (pre-test, post-test and follow-up with the control group). The statistical population of this study included all second grade elementary students in Isfahan with a total number of approximately 65,000 students in the academic year 1399-1399. The sample size was selected based on pre-test, post-test and follow-up methods with a control group of 200 students. Four areas were randomly selected by stepwise cluster sampling method, and were divided into 4 groups of 25 people.The three groups of learning in a mastery, meaningful and intelligent way, in addition to participating in their normal classes such as the control group, each received their own intervention. The research tool was a test of basic mathematical concepts. Before and after the sessions, the basic math concepts test was taken from the control group and all 3 educational groups, and after two months, follow-up was performed. Analysis of covariance was used for analysis and the groups were compared in terms of post-test and follow-up.
