The Effectiveness of Using the Internet of Things in Developing Scientific Concepts for the Sixth Basic Grade Students in Mathematics and their Attitudes Towards the Internet of Things

This study aimed to show the effect of using the internet of things (IoT) in developing scientific concepts for sixth grade in basic mathematics and their attitudes towards the internet of things. the study sample consisted of (60) male and female students from the sixth basic class in Mayar international schools of the Directorate of Special Education in the Capital Governorate in Jordan, during the second semester of the academic year 2019/2020. Two classes were chosen and randomly divided into two groups, one experimental consisting of (30) male and female students who studied using the internet of things, and the other consisted of (30) male and female students studied in the traditional method. To achieve the objective of the study, the internet of things application was prepared, and the development of scientific concepts was tested. The results of the study indicated the presence of statistically significant differences between the mean of students ’scores at the level of significance (α = 0.05) in the experimental and control groups in the post-test and in favor of the experimental group, while the results showed that there were no statistically significant differences due to the difference in gender, and also showed that there was a difference statistically significant between the pre- and post-tests at the significance level (α = 0.05). The differences came in favor of the post-test for the experimental group students. The study recommended that attention be paid to providing internet applications of things in teaching various subjects, in the basic stage.
