Exploring the Impact of Technology-Enhanced Learning on Student Engagement and Academic Performance in Indonesian Primary Schools

Abstract

This study explores the impact of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) on student engagement and academic performance in Indonesian primary schools. With the increasing integration of digital tools in education, it is essential to understand how TEL influences students' learning experiences and outcomes. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative data from standardized assessments and qualitative insights from interviews with teachers and students. Findings indicate that TEL significantly improves student engagement by fostering interactive and personalized learning environments. Additionally, the use of technology was found to enhance academic performance, particularly in subjects such as mathematics and language arts, where digital tools provide immediate feedback and adaptive learning opportunities. The study highlights the importance of teacher training and infrastructure development to maximize the benefits of TEL in primary education. Implications for policymakers and educators include the need for continuous investment in digital resources and pedagogical strategies to support technology-driven learning initiatives. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on the role of technology in enhancing educational quality in the Indonesian context.
