Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of TechnologyDriven Intervention in improving science learning among Alegria National High School students at risk of dropping out. This study focused on two groups of twenty (20) Grade 8 Students at Risk of Dropping Out. Ten SARDOs served as the control group and received work text intervention, while the other ten SARDOs received technology-driven intervention. Both groups performed POORLY in Science knowledge at the start of the experiment, according to the results. T-test results also revealed that both the work text intervention and the technology-driven intervention were effective in the learning of SARDOs. The mean gain scores of SARDOs that used technology-driven intervention, on the other hand, were significantly higher. The study concludes that a technology-based intervention is more effective than a traditional intervention for students at risk of dropping out.
