Thesis Abstract

The persistent low levels of computer literacy among high school students in urban areas pose a significant barrier to their integration into a burgeoning digital economy, necessitating innovative instructional strategies that leverage mobile technologies to enhance learning outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive mobile learning platform in improving computer literacy among high school students, with specific objectives to assess students’ baseline computer skills, design and implement a tailored mobile learning application, measure the impact of the platform on students’ computer literacy levels, and explore students' perceptions of mobile-assisted learning. Employing a quasi-experimental research design with a pre-test and post-test control group, the study targeted a population of 400 high school students across four urban schools, with 200 students randomly assigned to the experimental group and 200 to the control group. Data collection involved the use of a validated Computer Literacy Assessment (CLA) instrument, administered before and after the intervention for both groups, complemented by focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews to gather qualitative insights into student experiences. The quantitative data will be analyzed using paired t-tests and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to determine the statistically significant differences attributable to the intervention, while thematic analysis will be employed to analyze qualitative responses. The mobile learning platform was developed based on principles derived from the TPACK framework and the Cognitive Load Theory, ensuring an engaging, user-friendly interface that integrates interactive quizzes, tutorials, and practical exercises aligned with curriculum standards. It is anticipated that students in the experimental group will demonstrate statistically significant gains in computer literacy levels compared to the control group, with qualitative data revealing increased motivation, engagement, and confidence in using digital tools. The study is expected to contribute novel insights into how ICT-driven, interactive mobile platforms can effectively address digital literacy gaps in high school settings and provide evidence-based guidelines for integrating mobile learning into the broader educational framework. The findings will reinforce the importance of contextualized, learner-centered approaches facilitated by mobile technologies and will highlight the potential for scalable solutions in similar educational environments. The study concludes that interactive mobile learning platforms offer a viable means of enhancing computer literacy, especially in resource-constrained contexts, and recommends policy stakeholders to incorporate mobile-based digital literacy programs into national curricula. Future research suggestions include longitudinal studies to assess long-term skills retention, comparative analyses across different regions, and investigations into the integration of artificial intelligence to further personalize learning experiences. This research thus provides a robust foundation for leveraging ICT innovations to foster digital competence among high school students and contributes significantly to the scholarly discourse on mobile learning interventions in secondary education.

Thesis Overview

This research focuses on improving computer literacy among high school students by using interactive mobile learning platforms. In many high schools, students have limited access to practical computer skills, which are essential for their academic and future career success. Traditional teaching methods may not effectively engage students or cater to different learning styles, resulting in low motivation and poor skill acquisition. The study aims to explore whether mobile-based interactive lessons can bridge this gap by making learning more engaging, accessible, and tailored to individual needs. The researcher will first review existing literature on computer literacy, mobile learning, and educational technology to identify gaps and challenges. Next, a theoretical framework based on the Cognitive Load Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model will be employed to guide the study. The core of the research involves designing an interactive mobile learning platform that includes quizzes, videos, and hands-on activities related to basic computer skills. The study will involve selecting a sample of high school students, likely around 200 participants, from two comparable schools. These students will be divided into experimental and control groups. Data will be collected through pre- and post-tests to measure computer literacy levels, questionnaires to assess perceptions of the platform’s usability and engagement, and interviews for qualitative insights. Quantitative data will be analyzed using statistical techniques such as paired t-tests and regression analysis to evaluate improvements, while qualitative data will undergo thematic analysis to understand user experiences. The expected contribution of this research is to provide evidence on the effectiveness of interactive mobile learning platforms in enhancing computer literacy, offering practical guidance for educators and policymakers. The anticipated outcome is that students using the mobile platform will demonstrate significantly higher computer skills and greater motivation compared to traditional classroom methods. The study aims to recommend scalable strategies for integrating mobile technology into computer literacy education in high schools.
