Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Mobil Chemistry Laboratory Application – KimLab – designed and developed by the researcher in order to support teaching Solutions subject in Chemistry Laboratory course, on Science Teacher Candidates’ achievment. For this aim, a research was conducted with 94 science teacher candidates. A quasi-experimental research design with pretest-posttest control and experimental group as a qualitative research was used.. In order to evaluate academic achievement, Solutions’ Academic Achievement test developed by Simsek (2007) was used as both pretest and posttest for data obtaining. Reliability coefficient of the test including 30 multiple choice questions was determined as 0.76 (Cronbach Alpha). Data collected after pretest and posttest were analyzed with independent samples t-test. As a result of the research, there is a significant difference between control and experimental group in favor of the experimental group. It is founded that use of mobil technologies contributes achievement. Literatue review shows that there are similar conclusions with this research. In order to make the use of mobile technologies widespread in the field of education, more comprehensive studies are recommended.
