Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine how a web-based assessment tool developed for a social studies course is reflected on classroom management and how much students reflect their learning at school to their lives. In line with this purpose, the study was designed according to the mixed method research where both quantitative and qualitative methods are used. The participants of the study consisted of students who were in the second grade of a primary school with a medium socio-economic environment. The quantitative data of the study were based on the scores the students achieved in the assessment tool. The qualitative data of the study were collected through semi-structured interviews with both the students and the teachers.  According to the results obtained from the study, it was observed that using a web-based assessment tool in the learning environment positively affected both the students’ motivation and the process of attracting their attention. However, it was observed that the students could not reflect their learning at school to their lives.
