Abstract:

This study examined the effect of eLearning on the learning achievement and motivation of female students in the Fiqh (Jurisprudence) of Inheritance College of Law course at the United Arab Emirates University, for which a quasi-experimental method was adopted. The participants were 55 female students divided into two groups: 28 students in the experimental group and 27 students in the control group. The experimental group was taught using the interactive whiteboard application “ShowMe,” and the control group was taught using traditional methods. Further, a motivation assessment tool was developed, validated, and used with both groups before and after treatment. No significant differences were found for the teaching method between the two groups for achievement. However, there were statistically significant differences for the motivation in the experimental group as a result of using the eLearning “ShowMe” teaching method.
