Interactive e-content development for vocational and technical education

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate interactive and web based simulation contents on education for students’ achievement in Vocational and Technical Education. Research carried on 10th class students in Department of Information Technology at Technical High School. The study was created by utilizing pre-test and post-test model. Sample set consist of 12 test and 12 control subjects, in total 24, 10th class students. Students who enrolled “Foundations of Information Technology” course are provided to make virtual experiments on laboratory application in simulation environment with web based education. Same course is given in traditional teaching and laboratory work style to the control group students. Achievement tests that developed to measure success was used as pre-test and post-test. Interactive and web-based content of simulation education may be a solution to shortage of professional tools and space and shortage of teaching staff.
