Impact of iPads on secondary school children’s learning from the teachers’ perspective

Abstract

 This article explored the impact of iPad-based learning on secondary school children's motivation and engagement with school subjects. The use of iPads in the classroom has become increasingly common in recent years, with many schools incorporating this technology into their curricula. However, there is a lack of research on the specific impact of iPad-based learning on student motivation and engagement. To address this gap in the literature, the present research conducted a study with a sample of secondary school students to assess the effects of iPad-based learning on motivation and engagement. The results indicated that iPad-based learning had a positive impact on both motivation and engagement, with teachers reporting increased interest and enjoyment of the students in their school subjects when using iPads in the classroom. These findings suggest that iPad-based learning has the potential to enhance student learning experiences and support student success in school. This article tried to find out the impact of using iPads on students’ motivation and engagement among Kazakhstani secondary school teachers.
