Abstract

With increasing technology innovations, the world is moving towards digitalization. These advancements in technology caused changes in the global education system. The most significant change was the transition in teaching methods from oral to computer based. Computer-based education creates interest among students about a particular topic and students can understand visuals better than reading textbooks or listening to an oral lecture. Countries such as India have both public and private schools. However, in India, just a few public schools implemented computer-based education. Thus, students in public schools may have poor computer abilities, remain uninterested in academics, lack fundamental concepts, and so on. Also, computer skills are essential for higher education and employment. Computer simulations, for example, will help students understand courses like physics and biology. Knowing the importance of computer-based education and its impact on academic achievement, every public school in India can implement computer-based education. The purpose of this research study is to find the impact of computer-based education on the academic achievement of public high school students (from 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grades) in India. Computer-based education is measured by the number of computer laboratories available in a school that are allowed for students’ practice. Academic achievement of public high school students is measured by the grade obtained in the final examination. This study employs quantitative methodology and correlational design. The study's participants include 120 students at a public school in India who are in the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grades. These students will voluntarily report their final exam grades.
