the impact of modern technology on learning and retention outcomes in elementary school mathematics

Objective: this study aims to investigate the application of modern educational software (mes) in the mathematics classroom environment to the learning and retention process.methods: the present study was applied in terms of purpose and quasi-experimental in pre-test-post-test design. the statistical population included 18794 fourth-grade female students in the elementary school in 2020-2021 in mashhad city, iran. then the test group was taught using the creative technology program (ctp) in six sessions, and the control group was taught the traditional teaching method in six sessions. at the end of the training, math tests were performed in the test and control groups and the scores of the two groups were compared to measure learning. then, two months later, to measure the amount of retention in the two groups, the math test was repeated and the results were compared with the pre-test results.results: based on the results, the ctp has a significant effect on learning and teaching mathematics to fourth-grade elementary students in mashhad city.conclusion: with the advancement of fundamentals of education, the implication of educational software has proved more favorable effects than traditional systems in education and has a higher success rate.
