Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The integration of technology in education has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, with educators exploring its potential to enhance student learning outcomes. This study investigates the impact of technology integration on student learning in the field of economics education. The research aims to examine how the use of technology tools and resources influences student engagement, comprehension, and overall academic performance in economics courses. The study begins with a comprehensive review of existing literature on technology integration in education, focusing specifically on its applications in economics education. Various technological tools and resources commonly used in teaching economics are discussed, along with studies that have examined their effectiveness in enhancing student learning outcomes. The literature review also explores theoretical frameworks and models that inform the integration of technology in educational settings. The research methodology section outlines the design of the study, including the research approach, data collection methods, and analysis techniques. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from student performance assessments with qualitative insights from surveys and interviews with educators and students. The research methodology also includes a description of the study population and sampling procedures. Findings from the study reveal significant positive correlations between technology integration and student learning outcomes in economics education. Students who have access to technology resources demonstrate higher levels of engagement, motivation, and understanding of economic concepts. Educators report improvements in teaching effectiveness and student performance when incorporating technology tools into their instructional practices. The discussion of findings section analyzes the implications of the study results and provides recommendations for educators and policymakers seeking to enhance economics education through technology integration. The study highlights the importance of providing professional development opportunities for educators to effectively integrate technology into their teaching practices and emphasizes the need for ongoing support and resources to sustain technological initiatives in educational settings. In conclusion, this study contributes to the growing body of research on technology integration in education by providing empirical evidence of its positive impact on student learning outcomes in economics education. The findings underscore the potential of technology tools and resources to transform traditional teaching practices and enhance student engagement and comprehension in economics courses. Recommendations for future research include longitudinal studies to evaluate the long-term effects of technology integration on student learning and academic achievement in economics education.
