Exploring Technology-Enhanced Learning Approach: Impact on Student Engagement and Comprehension in Science Education Among Grade Five Students at Houston Academy

Cristine Joy Barroga | Susie Daza

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) approaches are transforming the landscape of science education, particularly in the elementary setting where foundational comprehension and engagement are crucial. This study explored the influence of TEL strategies on student engagement and comprehension among Grade 5 students at Houston Academy, Houston, Texas. Using a transcendental phenomenological design, the research captured the lived experiences of students and science teachers through in-depth interviews, with thematic analysis employed to identify patterns and insights. The analysis revealed 18 relevant themes that encapsulated the experiences of the participants. These themes reflected key aspects of TEL, including the integration of digital learning platforms, enhancing comprehension and skill development through technology, interactive and engaging approaches in TEL, application-based learning in science education, engaged and experiential learning, collaborative knowledge building, interactive and game-based learning, innovative learning through technology, the effectiveness and usability of technology, access to learning resources, adaptation to diverse learning styles, student engagement through technology, challenges in technology-based learning, device limitations and accessibility barriers, learning support mechanisms, fostering student engagement and independent learning, technology-driven assessment and progress monitoring, and digital tools for tracking and managing student learning. The study concluded that TEL significantly enhances student engagement and comprehension in elementary science education, although challenges such as accessibility and device limitations need to be addressed. It is recommended that schools invest in accessible technology infrastructure and provide ongoing professional development for teachers to effectively integrate TEL strategies in the classroom.
