Digital Learning Tools Availability and Students’ Engagement in Science

Digital tools offered promising opportunities to enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes. Understanding this relationship is essential for educational institutions as they sought to develop more engaging and effective learning environments. Despite the increasing integration of digital technologies in education, a significant gap remained in understanding their specific impact on student engagement, particularly within science education. This study specifically aimed to investigate the relationship between the availability of digital learning tools and students’ engagement in science among Grade 10 students at Dologon National High School. The study used a descriptive-correlational design to evaluate the relationship between two variables. The study utilized content-validated questionnaires to assess both variables, which were administered to 152 grade 10 students at Dologon National High School. The analysis revealed a positive moderately strong correlation coefficient which suggested that the availability of digital learning tools significantly influenced students’ engagement levels in science subjects. The findings indicated that teachers could also infer the highly significant relationship on digital learning tools availability and students’ engagement. This could serve as their basis on improving their students’ level of engagement in their Science classes.
