This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of a computer
program designed by PowerPoint to teach second grade's students
science.
It also aims to promote the principle of the integration of
technology in education , in addition to showin
g how to use
computer software in teaching science.
The sample of the research consisted of (100) students from the
second grade , and it was divided into two groups : an experimental
group consisted of (50) students who will be taught by using the
computer program, and a control group consisted of (50) students
who will be taught by the usual methods.
The research tools were a pre-post test and a computer program
designed by PowerPoint that deals with several issues of second
grade's science.
And the results were as follows :
1- The effectiveness of the computer program in teaching
science, where the results of the experimental group -that were
taught by using the computer program- were higher than the results of the control group -that were taught by the usual ways.
2- There is no effect of the students' genus in their results after
learning with the computer program .
3- The results of the rural students were higher than the city
students ones , after using the computer program in teaching.
