Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of interactive simulation on learning mathematics and creativity of fourth grade elementary students in Alborz province.The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test design, post-test with control group. By multi-stage multi-stage cluster sampling of 60 people in two groups of 30 girls and boys in two groups of control (training with Shad program and WhatsApp) and experiments (training with interactive simulation PhET) were selected. Before the training, both groups underwent a pre-test and after the training, a post-test was performed for both groups Data collection tools were used to measure math lesson learning, researcher-made test ,"Children's Creativity Questionnaire" were used to measure creativity. The reliability of the math test was 0.716 with Kuder Richardson method and the reliability of the Creativity Questionnaire was Cronbach's alpha with 0.826. Two-way analysis of covariance was used for statistical analysis. The results showed education with interactive simulation had a significant effect on the learning rate of mathematics and creativity of fourth grade elementary students compared to education with a Shad program and WhatsApp. Also, the average scores of learning mathematics as well as creativity in the post-test stage are higher among male students than female.
