The Impact of Interactive Technology on Student Engagement and Learning Outcomes in Economics Education

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of interactive technology on student engagement and learning outcomes in economics education. The use of technology in education has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, with interactive tools and platforms offering new opportunities to enhance the learning experience. In the field of economics education, where complex concepts and theories can be challenging to grasp, the integration of interactive technology has the potential to improve student engagement and understanding. Chapter One provides an introduction to the study, outlining the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definitions of key terms. The chapter sets the stage for the research by highlighting the importance of exploring the impact of interactive technology on student learning in economics education. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review that examines existing research on the use of interactive technology in education, with a focus on economics education. The review explores various interactive tools and platforms, their impact on student engagement and learning outcomes, and the theoretical frameworks that underpin their effectiveness. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study. The chapter covers aspects such as research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. By outlining the methodology, the chapter provides transparency and rigor in the research process. Chapter Four presents the findings of the study, analyzing the data collected on the impact of interactive technology on student engagement and learning outcomes in economics education. The chapter discusses the results in relation to the research objectives and existing literature, offering insights into the effectiveness of different interactive tools and platforms. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing their implications for economics education, and suggesting areas for future research. The chapter also reflects on the limitations of the study and provides recommendations for educators and policymakers looking to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes through the integration of interactive technology. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on the use of interactive technology in education, specifically in the context of economics education. By exploring the impact of interactive tools and platforms on student engagement and learning outcomes, the study offers valuable insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to leverage technology to improve the quality of education in the digital age.
