Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The integration of technology in educational settings has been a topic of interest and research for many years, with a particular focus on how it can enhance learning outcomes and engagement. In the context of physical education programs in high schools, the impact of technology integration is a relatively underexplored area. This thesis aims to investigate the effects of incorporating technology into physical education curricula in high schools, examining how it influences student engagement, learning outcomes, and overall program effectiveness. Chapter One provides an introduction to the topic, outlining the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and key definitions. The chapter sets the stage for the research by highlighting the importance of technology integration in physical education programs and the gaps in current literature. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review that explores existing research on technology integration in education, specifically focusing on its applications and impact in physical education settings. The review encompasses ten key themes related to the use of technology in enhancing physical education programs in high schools. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study, including the research design, sampling techniques, data collection methods, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and limitations encountered during the research process. Chapter Four presents a thorough discussion of the research findings, analyzing the data collected and drawing connections between technology integration and its impact on student engagement, learning outcomes, and overall program effectiveness in physical education programs. Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications for practice, and recommendations for future research in the field of technology integration in physical education programs in high schools. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the significance of the study and its contributions to the existing body of knowledge. Overall, this thesis provides a comprehensive examination of the impact of technology integration on physical education programs in high schools, shedding light on the potential benefits and challenges associated with incorporating technology into the curriculum. The findings of this study aim to inform educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders about the importance of leveraging technology to enhance physical education experiences for students and improve overall program outcomes.
