| Abstract | ||
| The aim of the study was to determine whether use of an e-book would lead to improvement in academic performance and more positive attitudes towards learning mathematics. Thus, an experiment was conducted with 56 Seventh Grade students from two middle schools in Abha, Saudi Arabia. The students were randomly assigned into either the traditional book condition (i.e., the control group) or the e-book condition (i.e., the experimental group). Improvement in academic performance from pretest to posttest differed significantly across the two conditions, with students in the e-book condition improving more than those in the traditional book condition. Further, students in the e-book condition expressed significantly more positive attitudes towards learning mathematics using an e-book after the study. Based on these results, it was recommended that technological advancement may promote learning via more positive attitudes toward mathematics. | ||
