Primary Study Outcomes
Research Foundation
Designed from the thesis, not added as an afterthought.
The website structure follows the research study's defined subject, learners, instructional framework, application features, and intended learning outcomes.
Grade 10 ICT Students
The application is intended as the instructional intervention for Grade 10 learners studying selected Computer Hardware Fundamentals competencies.
Universal Design for Learning
UDL 3.0 guides the user experience, with particular emphasis on Multiple Means of Engagement and learner variability.
Research context
The thesis uses a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control-group pretest-posttest design. The application is used by the experimental group, while the control group receives conventional instruction covering the same selected subject matter.
Paper-Defined Application Features
The four features specified in the study.
These are the core intervention features described in the thesis and represented directly in the application.
AI Tutor / Chatbot
Allows students to ask questions related to Computer Hardware Fundamentals and receive instructional explanations or guided assistance.
Interactive Lessons
Presents structured learning materials through text, images, diagrams, examples, questions, and interactive learning activities.
Hardware Identification
Gives students opportunities to identify hardware using images, descriptions, or situations and determine names, functions, or classifications.
Immediate Feedback
Provides responses after learning activities so students can identify correct responses, review explanations, and correct misconceptions.
UDL 3.0 Engagement-Based UX
Designed to support participation, effort, motivation, and meaningful involvement.
The thesis particularly uses Multiple Means of Engagement as the EdTech user-experience design basis.
Welcoming Interests and Identities
Connect learning with learners' interests and prior knowledge while providing relevant and responsive options.
Optimizing Challenge and Support
Offer appropriate challenge while providing scaffolds and support when learners need them.
Fostering Collaboration and Community
Encourage interaction, collaboration, belonging, and a supportive learning community.
Fostering Purposeful, Motivated Learners
Support autonomy and choice while strengthening motivation and persistence toward learning goals.
Hardware Identification
Visual recognition of real computer components.
Computer Hardware Fundamentals benefits from multiple forms of representation. The activity uses hardware images to help learners connect concepts with recognizable physical components.
Hardware photographs shown here are examples used by the current application interface; the thesis learning scope is broader than these six displayed examples.
Study Outcomes
What the research evaluates.
The thesis examines student engagement and academic performance before and after the intervention.
Student Engagement
