The effect of localizing the design and production of Meta-text based e-book on the levels of student learning and retention

Introduction: Application of ability and capabilities of modern educational technology is an opportunity to achieve effective and optimal learning. Also, localization is the consideration of indigenous knowledge in order to accumulate global knowledge of local needs and desires. In this research, with the native approach and according to the existing need, first In this research, the e-book، design، production and its impact on learning levels and retention were identified. Methods: The present study was carried out in combination with two qualitative and quantitative methods,the statistical population was undergraduate students at Allameh Tabatabaei University. The experimental group used a hypertext e-book. The data collection tool was a teacher test questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by specialists in the field of educational science. Using descriptive and inferential statistics (covariance and regression). Results: By comparing the data obtained in the control and test groups, the learning method with a hypertext e-book increased the learning and memory of students in the lessons of research methods in educational sciences in the experimental group (P value <0.05). The difference in mean of experimental and control groups is not significant at reminder level. However, the difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the level of understanding with regard to F at the level of less than 0.05 was significant. Also, the difference between the mean scores on the level of work and the higher, according to the obtained T, is significant at the level of less than 0.01. Conclusions: Therefore, it is possible to use the capabilities of the new technologies in the teaching and learning process in accordance with the standards in the design and production of media and the media to enhance learning.
