  • Essay / The Importance of Technology in Education - 703

    For example, in many studies, researchers have used statistical regression to the mean to recruit their participants; therefore, it affects the internal validity of the study. Additionally, because the researchers wanted students to use their idea, many biases were created to achieve the desired results. Therefore, in order to determine whether technology can help reinforce the material so that students can better absorb the lesson, we created an app that would help us evaluate whether students learned more through technology or lecture style traditional. In our study, we hypothesized that students exposed to engaging technology experience an increase in academic performance. By having more hands-on materials, students will engage and learn the material on a deeper level. Our app, Multiplication Around the World, was designed to teach students their multiplication tables through interactive lessons and games. In each level, students will be able to apply the material to advance to the next level. Additionally, the app will immediately correct the student when they answer a question incorrectly, allowing students to learn directly from their mistake. By having an app that can engage students and reinforce the correct way to learn their multiplication, we
