Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of technology integration in economics education through a case study approach. Technology has become an integral part of modern education, offering new opportunities to enhance teaching and learning experiences. The study aims to explore how the integration of technology influences the teaching and learning of economics, particularly in higher education settings. Through a comprehensive review of literature, the research examines the theoretical foundations of technology integration in education and its specific application in economics instruction. The literature review highlights the potential benefits and challenges associated with technology integration in educational settings. It also explores the role of technology in promoting student engagement, improving learning outcomes, and facilitating innovative teaching practices. Drawing on the existing research, the study identifies key factors that influence the successful integration of technology in economics education. The research methodology chapter outlines the design of a case study approach to investigate the impact of technology integration in economics education. The study involves selecting a sample of economics educators and students from a higher education institution to participate in the research. Data collection methods include surveys, interviews, and classroom observations to gather insights into the experiences and perceptions of stakeholders regarding technology integration in economics instruction. The findings chapter presents a detailed analysis of the data collected from the case study. The results highlight the various ways in which technology is integrated into economics education, the perceived benefits and challenges of technology use, and the impact on student learning outcomes. The discussion chapter critically examines the findings in relation to existing literature, identifying key themes and implications for practice. In conclusion, this thesis provides valuable insights into the impact of technology integration in economics education. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering practical recommendations for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders looking to enhance economics instruction through technology. By exploring the opportunities and challenges associated with technology integration, this research aims to inform future practices and policies in economics education.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "Analyzing the Impact of Technology Integration in Economics Education: A Case Study Approach" aims to investigate the effects of incorporating technology into economics education. This study is motivated by the increasing importance of technology in modern education and the potential benefits it can bring to the field of economics instruction. The project will focus on how technology, such as digital tools, online resources, and educational software, can enhance the learning experience and outcomes in economics education. The research will adopt a case study approach to explore the real-world application of technology integration in economics education. By conducting in-depth case studies, the project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of technology on teaching methods, student engagement, and learning outcomes in economics courses. The case study design allows for a detailed analysis of specific instances where technology has been integrated into economics education, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness and challenges associated with this integration. Through a thorough investigation of the case studies, the research aims to identify the opportunities and constraints of technology integration in economics education. By examining the experiences of educators, students, and other stakeholders involved in using technology in economics instruction, the study will uncover best practices, potential barriers, and areas for improvement in leveraging technology for teaching economics. Overall, this research project seeks to contribute to the existing literature on technology integration in education by focusing specifically on its impact in the field of economics. By shedding light on the benefits and challenges of incorporating technology into economics education, this study aims to provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders looking to enhance the quality of economics instruction through innovative technological approaches.
