Abstract

The objective of the study is to identify the role of using the interactive board in developing educational skills, and identify the attitudes of the students and teachers at upper basic stage towards using the interactive board. The study sample consisted of students and teachers at the upper basic stage across the University County in Jordan. A stratified cluster random sample was drawn from the target population during the second semester of the year 2013/2014. The total number of interviewed persons in the sample is (651), (376) female and male students and (275) female and male teachers in private and public schools. To achieve the objectives of the study, a scale consisted of (40) items was used to assess the perception of the students on the role of interactive board in developing learning skills. Moreover, a scale that consisted of (34) items was used to identify the attitudes towards using  interactive board among teachers, in addition to using a scale that consisted of (30) items to identify the attitudes towards utilizing  interactive board among students. The credibility and reliability of both instruments were verified using iterative methods and persons correlation coefficient.

 

The results show that students perceive the interactive board to be highly useful in developing learning skills. The attitudes of the students and teachers towards the use of the interactive board were high.

 

The results show that there are no statistically significant differences between the arithmetic mean of the teachers of the upper basic stage and their tendency towards the use of the interactive table due to the variables of qualification and experience. The study recommends the need to promote the use of interactive board in the educational process, especially in public schools
