| FATIH project is a project signed between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Transportation in November, 2010 and put into practise to foster technological development in education and benefit from Information Technologies (IT) in the best way. This paper discusses the views of secondary school students about the use of tablet computers in Science course. The study was conducted using a survey, one of the descriptive research methods. Total 104 students studying in 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and chosen randomly from a secondary school in a village located in Dereli district, Giresun participated in the study which was carried out in 2013-2014 education year. The data of the research was obtained from a questionnaire developed by the researchers. The questionnaire was composed of two sections: 6 close-ended and 3 openended questions. The close-ended questions were analysed statistically and the open-ended questions were analysed with content analysis. The results of the study revealed that although four out of five students did not have a computer and nearly half of them did not often use a computer, 95% of them supported the use of tablet computers in science course. Students identified that science subjects would be fun and understood better with the help of tablet computers, they would solve problems such as bringing books and they would do research about a subject better. In addition, students stated that tablet computers would damage eye health and if they were used for games, they would prevent them from studying. |
