Technology Integration and Science Students’ Learning Outcomes
Keywords:
Technology Integration, Science Subjects, Student Learning OutcomesAbstract
This study titled technology integration and science students’ learning outcomes at secondary school level. The study was guided by three research questions: How does different levels of technology integration affect student learning outcomes? What is the effect of horizontal technology integration on student learning outcomes? What is the effect of vertical technology integration on student learning outcomes? Descriptive survey design was used for this study. The sample size of 90 was made up of thirty (30) teachers and 60 students from three selected schools within the Bamenda municipality. Two four-point Likert scale questionnaire were used to collect the data from the respondents. One for students and the other for teachers. The quantitative data obtained were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis, using SPSS 23.0 package program. The findings of this research show that.
