Abstract

The current research aims to identify the impact of using a Google classroom as an  Educational platform on the development in the mental alertness of students of the Department of Educational and Psychological Sciences in the subject of measurement and evaluation . The study  tests the validity of the following null hypotheses :


  The first hypothesis is that there is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group students that are taught  using Google classroom and the average scores of the control group students who study in the traditional way in the Mindfulness Scale.


The second hypothesis states that there is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group students before and after the experiment in the measure of mental alertness. The researcher approved the experimental design with a randomized control group with two pre and post tests,and according to this design, a sample of students from Tikrit University / College of Education for Human Sciences / Department of Educational and Psychological Sciences / Year Four was intentionally chosen for the academic year (2020/2021) (first semester). The research sampled (80) students. The researcher balanced the two groups in a number of relevant variables, namely: chronological age calculated in months, the third stage rate, intelligence test, gender variable, and the pre-measure of mindfulness of the two research groups. In order to conduct the experiment, the researcher prepared a mindfulness scale as a research tool. The number of items of the was 38 after collecting, analyzing and treating data statistically using the statistical program( SPSS) showing the following results:



  1. There is a statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average scores of the students of the experimental group and the average grades of students of thecontrol group in favor of the experimental group .

  2. There is a statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group students before and after the experiment in the mindfulness scale.
