The effectiveness of using modern educational technologies on improving reading and writing learning and academic self-efficacy of slow-learning students in the second grade of primary school in Neyshabur city in the academic year 1403-1404

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using modern educational technologies on improving reading and writing learning and academic self-efficacy of slow-learning students in the second grade of primary school in Neyshabur in the academic year 1403-1404. This study is considered an applied research in terms of its purpose. The present study is a semi-experimental research type and used pre-test, post-test and control group. The study population in this study consisted of all slow-learning students in the second grade of primary school. In this study, a convenient random sampling method was used. 40 slow-learning students in the second grade of primary school were tested and studied, 20 in the control group and 20 in the experimental group. Due to the availability of a sample of girls, only girls were studied in this study. In addition, the sample was selected purposively (with entry criteria) and first a reading and writing skill and self-efficacy test was administered to students who teachers had said were weak in terms of reading and writing and self-efficacy. The tests were administered and those who were in the weak or low category in these variables were selected as samples. And they were randomly assigned to two groups. The data collection tools included programs and social networks for the environment outside the school (homes) and inside the school. Slides related to improving reading and writing, a test to measure the ability to read and write. Students were randomly placed in the experimental group and the control group. And the Jink and Morgan Student Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (1999). SPSS statistical software was used to analyze the data. Statistical indicators such as mean and standard deviation were used to perform descriptive statistics; Also, in the variable measurement section and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, this software was used to determine the normality of the data, and finally, the analysis of covariance method was used to test the research hypotheses. The results showed that according to the results of the table, since the significance level of the Wilks Lambda test (0.001) is less than 0.05, it indicates a difference between at least one dependent variable (reading skills, writing skills, and academic self-efficacy) in the experimental and control groups. In other words, training in the use of modern educational technologies has a positive effect on at least one of the dependent variables (reading skills, writing skills, and academic self-efficacy). Therefore, the research hypothesis is confirmed with 95% confidence.
