| Abstract
|
:
|
Computer-based learning (CBL) is referred to as any teaching method that makes use of computers for information transmission or input (Mercer, 2019). This includes any information being conveyed through computer applications such as websites, laptops, interactive games, videos, YouTube, podcasts, or anything computer related. Additionally, in social studies classes, where instruction is traditionally conducted through lecturing, CBL is one way to engage students. This student teacher researcher used four types of methodology to collect data, which included a Likert Scale survey, an open-ended questionnaire, an observation checklist, and a criterion-referenced test to determine if CBL affects student motivation, engagement, and knowledge of a unit of study in a sixth grade social studies. After implementing the study and a data analysis, it was found that students were more motivated to learn about the social studies topic. In addition, students found the CBL activities to be fun and expressed interest in continuing its use. Finally, the students performed above average on their assessment and retained overall knowledge on the social studies topic.
