چکیده مقاله :

پژوهش حاضر، با هدف سنجش اثربخشی بهره‌گیری از وبلاگ به‌عنوان یک فعالیت کمک آموزشی برای آموزش محیط زیست به دانش‌آموزان دبیرستانی انجام شد. روش تحقیق در این پژوهش شبه تجربی از نوع پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون با گروه کنترل بوده است. جامعه آماری کلیه دانش‌آموزان دبیرستانی شهر رامهرمز می‌باشد. حجم نمونه آماری، به کمک جدول تعیین حجم نمونه کرجسی و مورگان، 88 نفر تعیین شد. با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌ای، دانش‌آموزان در 4 گروه دختران و پسران (2 گروه مداخله و 2 گروه شاهد، هر کدام 22 نفر) قرار گرفتند. ابزار جمع‌آوری اطلاعات پرسش‌نامه محقق ساخته می‌باشد. داده‌ها به کمک آمار توصیفی و استنباطی تجزیه و تحلیل گردید. نتایج به‌دست آمده از مقایسه دو گروه آزمایش و کنترل، حاکی از وجود تفاوت معنی‌دار برای دانش شناختی، نگرش و رفتار محیط زیستی می‌باشد و در نتیجه در سواد محیط زیستی گروه کنترل و آزمایش تفاوت معنی‌داری وجود دارد. هم‌چنین، نتایج آموزش در گروه پسران در مقایسه با گروه دختران دارای تفاوت معنی‌داری بوده است و اثربخشی به نفع گروه پسران بود. نتایج نشان از اثربخشی وبلاگ نویسی به عنوان یک فعالیت کمک آموزشی برای آموزش محیط زیست به گروه مورد آزمایش می‌باشد.

چکیده انگلیسی:

The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using blogs as an educational aid in the environmental education of high school students. The method of the study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest, and a control group. The statistical population was all the high school students of Ramhormoz. Using Kerjesy and Morgan's sample size table, a sample of 88 students was selected. Using stratified random sampling method, the students were placed in 4 groups of girls and boys (2 intervention groups, 2 control groups, each group 22 persons). The data-collecting tool was a researcher made questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated that there was a significant difference in knowledge, attitude and environmental behavior between the control and experimental groups, hence a significant difference between the two groups with respect to environmental knowledge. Also, a significant difference was discovered in males compared to females, which showed effectiveness in males was higher. The findings witnessed the efficacy of blogging as an educational aid for environmental education in the experimental group.
