The Role of Technology-based Instructions in Improving the Literacy Skills of 7th Grade Language Arts Classroom
In today’s world, the use of technology-based instructions is growing faster than ever. One of the skills a 21st-century student needs is the capability of using technology. There is no shortage of opinion on which is the most effective for classrooms should integrate technology-based instructions, and people hold varying attitudes towards the use of technology. In this study, there will be three different 7th grade Language Arts classrooms. The first classroom only use technology-based instruction, the second only use traditional instructions and the third combine both. What would be examined are students’ improvements on literacy skills and attitude the teachers and students hold on the use of technology by implementing tests, surveys, observations and interviews. The results of tests indicated which classroom of students improved the most on their literacy skills, and the results of surveys, observations and interviews showed teachers’ and students’ attitude towards the use of technology.
