Exploring the Role of Technology-Enhanced Learning in Improving Student Engagement and Academic Performance

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) on student engagement and academic performance among undergraduate students. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was gathered through structured surveys of 300 students and 30 educators, assessing engagement levels, perceived academic impact, and TEL effectiveness. The findings indicate that frequent TEL users report higher engagement and perceived academic benefits compared to those with minimal TEL usage. A t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference in academic impact scores between high and low TEL users. Educators highlighted the need for structured TEL integration to optimize learning outcomes. These results underscore the potential of TEL to improve educational experiences and suggest that effective implementation strategies can enhance its benefits. Future research should examine longitudinal effects and address accessibility challenges to support inclusive TEL practices.
