Implementing a Technology-Based Instructional Module: The Impact on Student’s Vocabulary Retention and Attitudes Towards Learning

• In Event: TIL- Technology Integration in STEM

Short Description

This study evaluated the impact of a technology-based instructional module on vocabulary instruction. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, focus group interviews, and surveys. Quantitative analysis revealed academic growth, and qualitative analysis revealed increased scores and improved attitudes toward learning from pre- to post-intervention. The findings of this study indicated that although technology-based instruction had a positive impact on academic gains, material relevance and relationship with the instructor were of greater influence.
