Enhancing Student Learning Outcomes: The Interplay of Technology Integration, Pedagogical Approaches, Learner Engagement, and Leadership Support

Abstract

This study investigates how technology integration impacts student learning outcomes (SLO), focusing on the mediating effects of pedagogical approaches and learner engagement. It also examines the moderating role of leadership support in enhancing technology's impact. The study adopted a quantitative technique. The sampling was based on systematic random sampling. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed, however, only 394 responses were included in the study after screening. Based on the comprehensive literature review and empirical analysis, the research proclaims that technology-enhanced instruction positively affects student engagement, and academic performance, and caters to diverse learning styles. Learner-centered pedagogies aligned with technology create more active and meaningful learning experiences, leading to deeper understanding and retention of knowledge. Additionally, learner engagement significantly amplifies the positive impact of technology integration on SLO. Effective leadership support, by championing technology initiatives and fostering a culture of innovation, further enhances technology's success in improving student learning outcomes. Strategic technology integration, supported by learner-centered approaches and leadership endorsement, has significant potential to enhance educational outcomes. Educational institutions can use these insights to design evidence-based practices for better student learning outcomes.
