Using Interactive Whiteboard in Teaching Islamic Education and Its Effect on Some Variables

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using Interactive Whiteboard in teaching Islamic Education on the achievement and learning motivation of the 7th grade students. The empirical method was used in this study. The study sample consisted of 89 participants who were selected randomly. The achievement test and learning motivation scales were used as study tools. The results have shown statistically significant differences in post-achievement due to the method of teaching, and were in favor of Interactive Whiteboard, and also in favor of male students. In addition, some statistically significant differences were indicated between the average scores of the experimental group on the pre - and post-motivational scale as shown in the post-application. Also, significant differences were indicated between the average performance of the two groups on the learning motivation scale of the Islamic Education, and was in favor of the experimental group. The absence of a statistically significant effect on students' achievement and learning motivation were attributed to the interaction between the teaching method and the gender of the students
