Does the use of technology in a classroom lesson change students’ attitudes towards learning?
Abstract This study will examine the impact technology has in a classroom lesson (more specifically, an Internet video broadcast and web chat) on students’ academic self-efficacy. High school and 3rd-4th grade students will participate in this mixed-mode study. Based on Albert Bandura’s Theory of Self-Efficacy, if the technology increases the students’ academic self-efficacy, it can be said that students’ academic performance will increase. This is an important statement, as this study will hope to contribute to the long standing debate on whether or not technology in the classroom is helping students academically.
