Abstract:

The aim of this study is to figure out student ideas about technology supported instructions and alternative measurement and evaluation could be used together. At this research, 20-hours-technology assisted lessons were processed on the sub-field of Mathematics which is Trigonometry. During technologically designed lessons for 10th grade, some software were appropriately used. In addition to this process, alternative assessment methods were used to evaluate students. After completion of the process, every single participant was interviewed about the process. Descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the interviews. In this study, it was obtained that students’ participation to lessons, their interests and their achievement perceptions positively changed; furthermore, in the evaluation process, it was also observed that students think that alternative measurement process better reflects their achievement and they prefer alternative measurement methods over traditional measurement methods. In the consideration of whole study, it was concluded that technology supported instructions and alternative measurement and evaluation process could be effectively used.
