Area Calculation using Measure (iPad and iPhone App)

Abstract

Mobile applications are rapidly growing in importance and can be used for various purposes. They are now widely used in education. One of the educational purposes for which mobile applications can be used is to calculate the exact result of surface area. This research aims to study the relationships between behavioral factors and the perceived usefulness of using the Measure mobile application in calculating polygonal surfaces. Also, the purpose of the research is to investigate the performance, satisfaction, and perceived behavior of the students while using this application. The methodology of the study is the observation method. The sample of the study includes 50 students from the primary and lower secondary school "Heronjtë e Lumës" Vërmica /Prizren, and from the primary and lower secondary school "Zef Lush Marku" Velezha/Prizren from the Republic of Kosovo. For data collection, the observation list with three sections of 10 indicators is the main instrument. The results of this study show that the use of the Measure mobile application in learning mathematics for students using the application helped to increase student achievement and success. Also, the application was considered satisfactory and promoted a significant increase in students' knowledge, being appropriate for its intended use.
