Interference Hypothesis

Preschool children's preferential selection and recall of words presented in a computer microworld was assessed as a function of action and sound. Forty preschoolers, equally distributed by sex, were randomly assigned to one of four versions of a microworld. Within each version, twenty-four sprite objects were randomly assigned properties of action and sound. The design was counterbalanced so that across the four versions, each sprite assumed all possible factorial combinations of action and sound. As expected, children preferentially selected and later recalled more words presented with action than words presented without action. Although children selected sounds, sounds interfered with children's recall of linguistic information. Results support an action superiority hypothesis and an auditory interference hypothesis. The practical application is to use action as an integral component of educational computer software designed for young children.

Teaching Of Mathematics

This study was conducted to identify the level of frequency using of teaching aids among mathematics teachers. This study also aims to identify the mathematical teacher perceptions towards the use of teaching aids, restraints and challenges faced by them in the use of teaching aids. The respondents of this study consists of 70 teachers of mathematics from 20 primary schools in the District of Batang Padang, Perak. This study used a survey method that involves the review of quantitative and qualitative interpretation. The instrument used was a questionnaire. A set of questionnaires were distributed to the respondents to obtain the necessary information and data. All data were analyzed using computer software Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS version 22 ‘to get the frequency, percentage and mean. The results showed that the use of teaching aids in mathematics among teachers is high. In addition, the study also shows that the perception of teachers to use teaching aids are also positive. While the results of the analysis also shows that there are constraints and challenges faced by teachers in the use of teaching aids. A few suggestions are given to increase the use of teaching aids in the teaching of mathematics. Conclusions from the study reflects that the use of teaching aids is important for teachers to assist them in the process of teaching and learning. The study also demonstrates the use of teaching aids not only benefit the teachers, but they also have a major impact towards pupils.

Minute Session

Children's duration of attention to computer programs versus a television program was examined for two grades: kindergarten and third. Twenty-four children, equally distributed by grade and gender, participated individually in a twenty-seven minute session where they could interact with six familiar computer packages. A television program was played as a distractor task. Both age groups attended longer to the computer than to the television program. However, older children attended to the computer more than did the younger children who, in turn, were more distracted by the television program. There were no gender differences in attentional patterns. The results suggest that educational computer software provides an attractive alternative to television viewing and that attentional patterns to computer programs both increase and are more resistant to distraction with development.

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Teaching represents the basic and most beneficial aspect of education. The quality of teaching is continually improved by the introduction of innovative teaching techniques and modern teaching methods. Contemporary pedagogical innovations pertaining to teaching are based on the application of information and communication technologies in education. Therefore, the educational computer software is one of the most systematic and most creative tools used in schools with the purpose of improving the concept of digital teaching practices. The educational computer software is an innovative teaching tool for an independent creation and presentation of teaching units by means of digital technologies whose purpose is the achievement of students' total and active commitment and motivation. The goal of this research was to examine the teachers' self-assessment regarding their ability to apply the educational computer software in their teaching practices. The methods used were the descriptive method and the scaling technique with the Likert-type scale (ORSON) containing 35 items. The research sample consisted of 500 teachers from Central and Southern Serbia. Four factors were extracted by the factor analysis, which explains 53.19% of the variance: digital competencies, the advantages of ORS, ORS as a teaching tool, and practical application. The research results show that teachers are qualified enough for the practical application of the educational computer software. Also, the analysis of their responses proves that they regard the educational computer software as a significant and innovative teaching tool. The research determined a statistically significant difference in the subjects' responses considering the independent research variables: gender, type of school, and teaching experience (p<0.05).
