Abstract

This study investigated the effect of educational platforms on the education and the proficiency of sixth-grade preparatory students in using them. For conducting the evaluation, the study used a descriptive methodology. The sample of the study consisted of 300 students from the sixth grade in the Republic of Iraq both male and female students. Based on the results, sixth grade students show a strong inclination towards using educational platforms. Also, there were no significant differences between genders in the effect of educational platforms on the learning and the students' ability of deriving benefits from them. In addition, the students were keen to incorporate educational platforms into their coursework and highlight their potential for fostering self-learning skills. The study recommends prioritizing the incorporation of educational platforms into the curriculum by training courses specifically focusing on equipping students with the necessary skills to professionally use these platforms for self-learning.
