Ambusaidi,Nada Ali,Al-Rabaani,Ahmed Hamad (2019).
This study investigates the effectiveness of using virtual museums in teaching social studies for the development of eighth grade students’ achievement and attitudes towards archaeology. This study adopts a quasi-experimental methodology. • The results showed that there were significant differences between the control and experimental groups in favor of the experimental groups. These results indicate the effectiveness of VM in developing students’ achievement in the social studies subject. The results shown improved attitudes towards monuments. This could be due to the greater engagement the experimental group had with monuments due to the facilitation of VM, which enabled them to obtain a more meaningful connection and deeper insight, gaining more related information such as the reasons for their construction, the eras in which they were built and the nature of the societies who built them, among other information. It gave a good chance to students to ask questions and be more concerned about searching for information to get a more comprehensive understanding of the monuments. In the light of the results shown by this study, the following recommendations are made: 1.Endeavoring to promote the use of the VM in schools in general, and in Social Studies in particular, as the field needs it to increase the school achievement. 2.Encouraging Social Studies teachers to use the VM, for the multimedia and the several capabilities it has which makes it an active educational environment. 3.Developing a conceptualization for parents about VM and its objectives through simplified explanatory booklets; to enable students to use it, and participate in extra-curricular activities (while staying at home). 4.Enabling teachers to participate in VM on a regular basis, with different activities and topics, so that its design is characterized by renewability and effective participation from educators.
