Abstract
This quasi-experimental study aimed to reveal the effect of teaching using the Nearpod application on the science achievement of eighth-grade students in the United Arab Emirates and their motivation toward learning science. The study participants consisted of 44 eighth-grade students at Al Dhafra School in Zayed City, affiliated to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates; they were divided into two groups that were randomly selected from the three eighth-grade classes; one of them was randomly assigned as an experimental group, consisting of 23 students, and the other was a control group, consisting of 21 students. To achieve the aim of the study, an achievement science test and a scale of attitudes towards learning science were prepared and applied to the study participants after verifying validity and reliability of the study instruments. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the arithmetic means for the achievement of the eighth-grade students in science and in favor of the experimental group that was teaching Science using the Nearpod. The results also showed that there were differences between the arithmetic mean in students' motivation towards learning in favor of the experimental group, which showed a high level of students' motivation towards learning science.
