The Impact of Digital Technologies on Student Engagement in Science Teaching at the Higher Secondary Level
This study investigates the role of digital technologies in enhancing student engagement in science education at the higher secondary level, focusing on institutions in Multan. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 203 students through a structured questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale. The results indicate that digital tools such as simulations, virtual labs, and multimedia resources significantly improve students' motivation, participation, and conceptual understanding. Female students demonstrated slightly higher engagement levels compared to males. A strong positive correlation was found between enabling factors and engagement (r = 0.60), while challenges showed a negative correlation (r = 0.42). The findings underscore the need for strategic investments in digital infrastructure, teacher training, and curriculum-aligned content. This research contributes to developing effective digital teaching strategies and provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to enhance science education through technology integration in secondary schools.
