The Effect of DIMLE on Computer Literacy Level of Pre-Service Teachers

As a member of digital age, individuals are surrounded by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), so their daily life is directly or indirectly influenced. Teachers are one of the most influenced members of society because of the inclusion of ICT into education and the changes in new generation students. The goal of this study is to specify the effect of DIMLE (Dynamic Interactive Mathematics Learning Environment) on pre-service mathematic teachers’ computer literacy. The sample group (n=233) consists of 4th grade students who are given education in Elementary Mathematics Education Department of Hasan Ali Yücel Faculty of Education at Istanbul University, in 2011-2014. The research model is one-group pretest-posttest design. With that model, it is possible to determine whether hypotheses proposed are right or not. Collected data was evaluated by paired sample t-test with SPSS 21.0. The results show that GeoGebra, one the famous DIMLE, has positive effect on improvement of pre-service teachers’ computer literacy level.
