An Investigation on the Effectiveness of Digital Content Factors on Learning Outcomes, Case for Primary Schools Within Nairobi County.

Abstract

Learning institutions in Kenya are slowly embracing Digital Learning and incorporating various digitally-designed content to their learning experience. The launch of Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) by the National government has put more emphasis on building learners skills. Integrating digitally-designed content in learning is a key pillar in the CBC. The aim of this study was to investigate how effective are digital content factors in achieving positive learning outcomes in primary schools. Understanding the effectiveness of the various digital content factors in learning outcomes among primary schools will form a basis in putting in place measures and policies for full integration. The study focused on schools within Nairobi County who have already established computer-based learning, either fully or partially. The research was a case of three primary schools within the Nairobi County. It focused on understanding the level of pupils’ interaction with various digital devices in learning and whether such interaction had effect on their overall learning experience. Data collection was done using questionnaires composed on Likert scale where a total of 144 grade four pupils across the three selected schools participated.
