Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The use of computers in the classroom has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, with technology playing a significant role in shaping the educational landscape. This research project explores the impact of computer use on teaching and learning outcomes in the classroom setting. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of the topic. The quantitative aspect of the research involves collecting data on the frequency and types of computer use in classrooms, as well as student performance metrics before and after the implementation of computer-based learning tools. This data is analyzed using statistical methods to identify patterns and correlations between computer use and academic achievement. In addition to quantitative data, qualitative data is gathered through interviews and surveys with teachers and students to gain insights into their experiences with using computers in the classroom. This qualitative data provides a rich understanding of the benefits and challenges associated with integrating technology into the educational environment. The findings of the study suggest that the use of computers in the classroom can have a positive impact on teaching and learning outcomes. Teachers reported that technology enhanced their ability to deliver content in engaging and interactive ways, thereby increasing student engagement and motivation. Students, in turn, expressed a preference for computer-based learning tools, finding them more enjoyable and effective than traditional methods. However, the study also highlights some challenges associated with computer use in the classroom. Teachers noted the importance of adequate training and support to effectively integrate technology into their teaching practices. Additionally, concerns were raised about ensuring equitable access to technology for all students, as well as addressing issues related to digital distractions and misuse of technology in the classroom. Overall, the research underscores the potential benefits of using computers in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning experiences. By leveraging technology effectively, educators can create dynamic and interactive learning environments that cater to diverse student needs and learning styles. The findings of this study contribute to the growing body of literature on the role of technology in education and provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders looking to maximize the benefits of computer use in the classroom.
