Abstract

The paper examines the possibility of Project-Based Education as an engaging and difficult learning strategy in teaching. The study sought to establish the impact of PBE on students’ experience, motivation and the learning that occurs in relation to students’ support from the teachers. The participants self-selected for the study included 20 students and 6 teachers from a diverse range of disciplines who had engaged in PBE in some form or another. Participants were given semi structured questionnaires and focus group discussions, and classroom observations in which data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The research proves that the use of PBE improved motivation by addressing realistic context and self-organizing learning. When the students were allowed autonomy in the selection of projects and organisation, they said they felt more involved in the lesson. The most salient finding during this study was that teacher support was an important antecedent for PBE, where teachers served as enablers and coaches, as well as being inspirational sources of encouragement. However, other issues that were observed when students collaborated included the problems that were associated with group dynamics as well as time management issues. This work enriches the further development of research results in the following ways: The key concept of PBE, such as implementation of a structured guideline and supportive teacher encouragement to facilitate pupils’ motivation and interest. The research findings are used to make suggestions to teachers concerning how to facilitate scaffold, time and how the class setting can be conducive for PBE.

Abstract

The present research investigates the effectiveness of technology utilization within the context of educational quality enhancement for students, with respect to students’ motivation, achievement, and perceived educational outcomes. This developed a quantitative research design with respect to 500 students and 50 teachers from the primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions. Information was obtained using technology use questionnaires, students’ performance reports, and teachers’ feedback forms. The study showed that the more technology intensive a class or lesson is there is a high likelihood of having students’ participation and high academic achievement. Students who interactively used technologies today including learning management systems, interactive whiteboards, etc. found out they had better academic performance and motivation. Controlling for teacher efficacy and methods in the use of technology was also found greatly to affect students’ achievement. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential measures such as the Pearson correlation and regression test to show how technology can enhance learning environment. These findings, therefore, join the emerging literature on technological integration and found positive impacts on various levels of education. This research underlines the importance of further professionalism as to teachers, and the use of proper technological means for improving the quality of education.
