Project Overview

The project titled "Analyzing the Impact of Technology Integration on Economics Education: A Case Study in High Schools" aims to investigate the effects of incorporating technology into the teaching and learning of economics in high school settings. In recent years, technology has become increasingly prevalent in educational settings, offering new opportunities for engaging students and enhancing their understanding of complex subjects such as economics. This study focuses specifically on high schools, where students are at a crucial stage of their academic development and preparing for higher education or entry into the workforce. The integration of technology in economics education is a growing trend that has the potential to revolutionize traditional teaching methods and improve student outcomes. By examining how technology is currently being used in high school economics classrooms and its impact on student learning, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these tools and strategies. The study will explore various forms of technology integration, such as online resources, educational software, simulations, and interactive tools, to assess their influence on student engagement, comprehension, and academic performance. Through a comprehensive case study approach, this research will investigate the experiences of both teachers and students in high school economics classrooms where technology is being used. By collecting data through observations, surveys, interviews, and academic performance assessments, the study aims to identify the benefits and challenges associated with technology integration in economics education. Additionally, the research will analyze how technology usage aligns with curriculum goals, teaching practices, and student learning objectives in the context of high school economics. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on technology integration in education, with a specific focus on economics instruction in high schools. By examining the impact of technology on student engagement, motivation, and academic achievement, this research aims to provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers seeking to enhance the quality of economics education through innovative teaching methods. Ultimately, the project seeks to inform evidence-based practices and recommendations for effective technology integration in high school economics classrooms, with the goal of improving student learning outcomes and preparing them for success in an increasingly digital world.
