The entire study was outlined randomly to test the reliability as well as the credibility of the student group and analyze the significance and effect of using iPad. The entire study provided a statistical overview of the attributes of the iPad teaching methods and the interaction in between the teaching method variable.

Introduction
Over the rapid growth in technology, information technology has become quite significant and has affected our lives in a wide manner, and the inclusion of iPads has created a significant impact in teaching. iPads have been incorporated into teaching methodologies, and the new research strategically outlines that iPads can relatively enhance the student learning, and it aims at raising awareness among the students of providing learners of various learning strategies with reinforcement, systematic practice and self-monitoring via learning activities. iPads permit students to collaborate intelligently with the substance of the course books, which may not exist in whatever other educational devices. iPads have been acquainted with the business sector in 2010 and following the time when they have been drastically changed the point of view towards training, educating and adapting these days. Consequently, they prompt the imagination and hands-on learning. There are numerous educational applications for a broad range of learners that are accessible and have free access to them. Students can do their assignments, make them incline, and get a quick condemnation through this new gadget while instructors can give lessons, screen advance, and guide their students through online contact. The use of iPads has been prolifically successful all around the world, and it has captured the imagination of many teachers. The use of iPads in technology enhanced learning environments has been quite successful, and major investigations have been prolifically conducted for the assimilation of iPad changes learning attitudes and outcomes. In 2011, the graduate school of digital content systematically conducted a comparative analysis of the self-study time and the understanding of contents of the students. The results showed that about 85% of the students can fully comprehend to the content whereas only about 46% in the class cannot comprehend without iPads. According to Tchasel, for educationalists e-learning is a challenge in general and it should be dealt and accepted as a major part of our life. Tchasel concluded that without the acceptance of e-learning we may find ourselves about hundred years back using the traditional tools and the other world will be using technological advancements smartphones for learning.
Altowaijry analyzed the advancement of the educational framework in Saudi Arabia by growing its parameters to exploit information transfers advancements and to consolidate the separation learning technique. This examination demonstrates the benefits of such a strategy to the concerned prevailing voices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and locations the trouble and the innate imperviousness to applying the new technique in all Saudi educational foundations. The outcomes demonstrated a positive relationship between applying the new strategy for separation learning and diminishing the quantity of students who drop out of the educational procedure for some reasons. The literature recommends that while iPads can be viable in a few respects, there are difficulties. One of the difficulties is the mechanical expert information of teachers and students. However, regardless of the e-learning points of interest in learning and showing forms, its applications are as yet creating which experiences a few difficulties and impediments (Arthanat, Curtin and Knotak, 2013). This endeavor targets at developing the teaching methods for the students to understand the study materials in a better way and it will significantly reflect on the achievement of the students. The entire study provides analytical investigations on the significant impact of using iPads for the Saudi Arabian students.

Statement of the Problem
It has been observed from a real observation and a survey questioner that in Saudi Arabia most of the schools and Universities still use the traditional approach and resources of teaching i.e. flashcards, textbooks, and objects. The tools mentioned prolifically lack the most recent types of attractions for students. These tools do not provide suitable means to help the students from proper considerate of the information conveyed. The entire study problem is prolifically determined by analyzing the effect of using the iPad for the students, compared to the colleagues who study via traditional education.
Definitions of Terms
Tradition method of teaching: It refers to the long conventionaltraditions found in schools and Universities that society has conventionally deemed appropriate. Some forms of education improvementencourage the implementation of progressive education practices, a more holistic approach which spotlight on individual students' needs and self-appearance. In the eyes of reformers, a conventional teacher-centered methods or approach focused on the rote knowledge and memorization must be forsaken in support of student-centered and task based advancements to education. iPad: It is a tablet PC manufactured and designed by Apple Inc. It is a 9.7 inches touchscreen model by which users can directly interact via finger strokes. iPad is a portable device, and it can be used for web browsing, watching movies, listening to music, playing games and reading e-books (Ağır, 2015). iPad is also used for the educational purpose as it helps to improve and encourage the implementation of progressive learning wit a new approach.

What is the effect of using iPads on the achievement of the Saudi Arabian students? From this question, the below mentioned sub-questions arises: * Does the method of teaching be different from the achievement of the students? * To what extent the curriculum decisions made toward iPads use? * How do the personal beliefs and experiences about technology impact the utilization of iPads in the classroom?
Literature Review
Learning and teaching through smart gadgets are essential in the educational field. iPads can extraordinarily enhance the results of any Educational framework. The extension for portable applications composed particularly to teach and learning is gigantic. Educationalists can work with engineers to make new and creative programming which mirror the learner's needs and desires in innovation. It can be seen that some of new articles and studies talked about the significance of applying assortments of iPads applications in educating and learning. Educational innovation has exponentially become in the course of recent years. We have built up an awesome arrangement from overhead projectors to iPads. However, we need to glance back at the beginning so we can comprehend what is coming next. As a general rule, we began with the written work slate and today we utilize PC tablets and PDAs day by day (Ağır, 2015). We retreated similarly as 1926 when Sidney Pressey built up a mechanical instructing machine that permits students to information answers to questions; this is like today's PC.
There were clashing contentions of particularly when PCs were created, yet they were still confronted with the test of sharing data. This test prompted the improvement of PC systems. A PC system is a framework in which PCs are associated together to share data. The early systems could just share data inside of a physical divider. It was between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s. In 1977, microcomputers were brought into the business sector as PCs. It empowered individuals to claim PCs for individual use, however just the exceptionally wealthy. As chips were created, the cost of PCs went down. Sekiguchi explored how reconciliation of tablet innovation changed learning results and dispositions toward Japanese students' learning. The students were given with one iPad each to their self-controlled study inside and outside the school (Dupuy, n.d.). In this preparatory subjective contextual analysis, thestudents' learning is analyzed utilizing information including capability test scores, intelligent diaries, online overviews, perception, and meetings with members. The outcomes uncovered basic reflections on the change of pedagogical work on utilizing tablet innovation. Information Computer Technology (ICT) can bolster the learning and advancement of aptitudes in kids at an early age since they utilize instruments, for example, iPads. Learning with innovation helps kids create procedural learning. Michael Polanyi alluded to this information as "unsaid learning". Inferred information can't be exchanged from one individual to another because it is hard to envision or record. Development is a sample of implicit information since it is difficult to record how a man can be imaginative. In this manner, the utilization of training instruments like iPads gives students the chance to express themselves as people without the restriction of being compelled to act all things considered by replicating what the educator has on the board. Students will then share the data among themselves and; that enhances collaboration since everyone takes part (Flower, 2014). Each group needs a leader to clarify their work, yet not each understudy will have that initiative quality since authority can't be taught for it is a sort of inferred information. However the instructor, if comfortable with innovation, could serve as the leaders.The utilization of such innovation helps in crossing over the advanced gap in the middle of instructors and students. For the instructors to have the capacity to educate adequately utilizing this innovation, they need to secure PC abilities. As they get the vital abilities, it contracts the advanced hole in the middle of them and their students. This gives the teachers more instruments to deal with their classrooms better. For instance, teachers can make traces and offer it to students online so that the students can make their very own notes among the class. Teachers can likewise make online tests. Moreover, students can get their work done and send it to the educator prior. The utilization of advanced gadgets like iPads kills the weight of conveying books for students. It likewise diminishes the impairment of students overlooking their books at home. It makes it simpler for data to be given in different ways.
Milman analyzed the utilization of the primary year execution of an iPad activity in a PK-4 school in the United States. In this study, the teachers started the learning exercises, and afterward the students were given the chance to do the assignments with full opportunity to demonstrate their imagination. In any case , Rossing found in the principal essential stage, that an educator can utilize some particular uses of iPad to plan a few exercises which will improve dynamic learning and understudy investment (Gitsaki and Robby, 2014). Students are permitted to view other's work and share their discoveries. Furthermore, while finishing every movement, students send their work to their educator's email for audit and input. The outcomes demonstrated that students were exceptionally energetic and enhanced their method for learning in a synergistic situation using iPads. Crichtoncarried a study in K-12 schools so as to gauge the effect of the iPad on students' connection and inspiration towards learning. In particular, the iPad was welcomed and utilized by the majority of members in the rudimentary and middle schools. The outcomes demonstrated that both students and instructors were more energetic to discover educational uses of the iPad tablets.
Methodology
Quantitative methods were utilized all through the examination of this survey review. Quantitative methods are utilized to clarify a situation or marvels by gathering and dissecting a numeric or scientific information properly. The quantitative examination takes into account the scientist to research a bigger populace of members about their convictions in a brief period. By utilizing quantitative exploration techniques, the emphasis is on numerous members instead of a couple, so that a bigger pool of information can be gotten, thus that an assorted scope of conclusions can be investigated and examined (Hernández-Leo et al., n.d.). In particular, study exploration was utilized as a part of this study to comprehend better utilization and demeanors.
As indicated by Ary, Jacobs, Razavieh, and Sorensen survey or clear research is utilized to assemble data from gatherings of members. "Surveys allow the analyst to abridge the attributes of various gatherings or to quantify their states of mind and assessments towards some issue." They likewise recommend that analyses are regularly used to comprehend better unmistakable or countable things. Study research concentrates on particular circumstances or individuals, and it puts more accentuation on words than numbers. The proposed six stages of quality review research. These strides include: "arranging, characterizing the populace, examining, developing the instrument, leading the survey, lastly preparing the information". These strides were followed in this study. Keeping in mind the end goal to get enlightening insights, the initial step, arranging, "starts with an inquiry that the analyst accepts can be addressed most suitably by method for the survey strategy", an inquiry which "normally concerns the convictions, inclinations, states of mind, or other self-reported practices of the general population (respondents) in the study". This self-reporting, on an extensive number of members, permits the measurements accumulated to be expressive (Whittingham, 2013). This study included various open-finished inquiries, which took into consideration a plenitude of self-giving an account of the piece of 65 members. The information accumulated from this activity yielded expressive measurements, highlighted in this study.
Participants
A large portion of participants in this study are from the same course, student educating class at King Khalid University. These student teachers have all had a few courses acquainting them with the utilization and uses of innovation including the iPad. Furthermore, they were urged to get ready for innovation use amid their understudy educating background. The second, the littler gathering of members, (n=6) were from the Jazan University. These evaluations 6-12 instructors at Jazan University are in their first year of coordinated usage of iPads for each understudy. In about 250 members were welcome to partake, 220 from King Khalid and 30 from Jazan University. Out of the 250/65 took an interest in the study, 23% were male, and 77% were female. Seventeen percent were between the ages of 18-21, 45% were between the ages of 22-25, and 38% were over 25 years of age. For 85% of the members, the largest amount of instruction accomplished was a Bachelor degree, while 15% had earned a Master's degree. The inquiries for the poll survey were produced as a consequence of current writing about innovation use in the classroom. Information gathered will further be utilized to help a sensible conclusion on how iPads are useful in the classroom.
Procedures
In this study, survey research strategies were utilized to analyze how understudy instructors feel about the effect of iPads in enhancing the learning environment of their students. * Planning: The initial step, arranging ought to start by deciding goal and inquiries to be replied. Study inquire about ordinarily poses a question that "normally concerns the convictions, inclinations, states of mind, or other self-reported practices of the general population (respondents) in the study. In this study, the primary research questions that were centered on the utilization of the iPad for use and educational programs arranging. * Defining the Population: The second step, characterizing the populace, includes the production of a rundown of members known as the "inspecting outline." In this concentrate, the greater part of the present understudy instructors from one University and one school that received a balanced utilization of iPads were chosen to give a general comprehension of iPad use. * Sampling: The third step, inspecting, includes selecting an agent test from the whole populace, with as meager deviation from the populace values as would be prudent. In this study, testing was led while dissecting the reactions to the open-finished inquiries. This study highlighted similar reactions by five or more members, furthermore highlighted particular paramount reactions in a few examples. * Instrument Construction: The aim of the review was to comprehend better the convenience and effect of innovation in learning or classrooms, and also its legitimacy. The study that was used involved 32 questions, given a Likert scale with an "others" choice ought to the member wish to share a more pertinent thought. Out of the 32 questions, 18 of them were different decision and 14 of them were open-finished. * Conducting the Survey: It includes field-testing the instrument and "confirming the precision of the information accumulated." Like the past step, this stride additionally includes meets and appropriating surveys. This stride was completely done in this study, through the appropriation of 32 inquiries, the social event of 65 reactions to every one of the 32 questions, and the examination of those reactions. * Data Processing: The last step, preparing the information, incorporates "coding the information, factual examination, translating the outcomes, and reporting the discoveries". This study has done every one of the segments of this stride. By utilizing the site surveymonkey.com I could see percentiles, diagrams, and graphs that surveymonkey.com consequently produced from the information. This additionally permitted me to all the more thoroughly investigate the information I had gathered.
