This mock action research proposal examines the effects of computer technology use in the classroom on student grades, motivation, attitude, and attendance. The study aims to determine if technology enables engaged learning and how much daily technology time is suitable. Data will be collected through observation and surveys while ensuring privacy, competence, and accuracy. Previous research found that technology improved student enthusiasm and desire to learn when teachers integrated it well into lessons.

2. Area of Focus:
• The purpose of this study was
to determine the effect that
computer technology use in
the classroom had on students'
grades, motivation, attitude
and attendance.
3. Research Questions:
• Does the use of technology enable students to engage at a level
that is suitable to them?
• How much time should students spend using technology on a daily
basis?
4. Locus of Control
• The locus of control for this research is to test the benefits of
adding technology such as computers or other multi media to
instruction.
7. Reflective Stance
What I have learned from the study:
• Considering that children in the current society grow surrounded
by technology, it is hard to run away from it.
• Being exposed to the software, the students were in a position of
learning how to use it.
8. Action
As a result of the research:
• The feedback from the study was positive.
• The study indicated that teachers' technology use, students'
technology use, and overall technology use depended on how well
the teacher used the technology in the classroom.
9. Action Data Collection
Through the data it was discovered:
• Technology improved the enthusiasm of the students toward
learning.
• Students wanted to learn more when technology was used.
10. Reflection –Learning/ Application
Learning
• What I have learned from the
study and evaluating process is
that every project has
obstacles.
• Some of the barriers cannot
be evaded.
Application
• Every detail that is important
to research should be
included.
