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