Abstract

This research done to determine the attitudes and to evaluate the views of 10th grade students towards interactive whiteboards (IWBs) in mathematics classes is a part of a quasi-experimental study. In the research, participants were 60 students from a public school. This group's lessons were covered using an IWB for 5 weeks. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected in the research. At the end of the research, it was determined that students' attitudes towards the use of IWB in mathematics classes is at a medium level and that students see the IWB as a tool which increases their interest and facilitates learning.
