Abstract

This study investigated the effect of teaching through animation techniques, dynamic and static images on the academic progress of students in Sciences. This was a quasi-experimental, applied research. The sample consisted of 77 female fifth grade students studying in Dezful, Iran, during the academic year 2014-2015. Using the multi-stage cluster sampling method, the subjects were randomly assigned to three experimental groups (25 subjects in the animation learning group, 26 students in the dynamic image learning group and 26 students in the static image learning). All three experimental groups received related education for 12 sessions. The data collection instrument was a researcher-made educational achievement test. Data from the achievement test was analyzed through one-way analysis of variance and post-hoc Bonferroni test. The results of data analysis indicated that teaching method based on animation technique (P=0.05) was more effective than methods based on dynamic and static images.
