Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of interactive technology on student learning in economics education. The integration of technology in education has transformed traditional teaching methods and provided new opportunities for enhancing student engagement and understanding. The study investigates how interactive technology, such as educational apps, online simulations, and virtual classrooms, influences student learning outcomes in the field of economics. The research methodology employed in this study includes a thorough literature review to examine existing studies on technology in education and its effects on student learning. A quantitative research approach is utilized to analyze data gathered from surveys, interviews, and student performance assessments. The study focuses on students at the undergraduate level, examining their perceptions of interactive technology and its influence on their learning experiences in economics courses. The findings of the study reveal that interactive technology positively impacts student learning in economics education. Students reported increased engagement, motivation, and understanding of economic concepts when interactive technology was incorporated into their learning activities. The study also identified various factors that contribute to the effectiveness of interactive technology, such as the design of the technology, student preferences, and instructor support. The implications of the study suggest that integrating interactive technology into economics education can enhance student learning outcomes and improve overall educational experiences. Educators and policymakers can use these findings to inform curriculum development, instructional practices, and technology integration strategies in economics education. Overall, this thesis contributes to the existing literature on technology in education and provides valuable insights into the impact of interactive technology on student learning in economics. The study highlights the importance of leveraging technology to create engaging and effective learning environments that meet the diverse needs of students in the digital age.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "The Impact of Interactive Technology on Student Learning in Economics Education" aims to investigate the influence of interactive technology on student learning outcomes in the field of economics education. This study seeks to explore how the integration of interactive technology tools, such as online simulations, educational games, virtual classrooms, and multimedia resources, can enhance student engagement, comprehension, and retention of economic concepts. Interactive technology has become increasingly prevalent in educational settings, offering students new opportunities for active learning and personalized instruction. In the context of economics education, the use of interactive technology holds great potential to make complex economic theories and principles more accessible and engaging for students. By providing interactive and immersive learning experiences, technology can help students develop a deeper understanding of economic concepts and improve their critical thinking skills. The research will involve a comprehensive literature review to examine existing studies on the impact of interactive technology in education and economics specifically. This review will provide a theoretical framework for understanding the potential benefits and challenges associated with integrating technology into economics instruction. Furthermore, the study will employ a mixed-methods research design, combining quantitative analysis of student performance data with qualitative insights from surveys and interviews with students and instructors. By collecting both quantitative and qualitative data, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effects of interactive technology on student learning outcomes in economics education. The findings of this study are expected to contribute valuable insights to the field of economics education and inform educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers on the best practices for integrating interactive technology into economics instruction. By highlighting the potential benefits and challenges of using interactive technology, this research seeks to support the ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and effectiveness of economics education in the digital age.
