Assessing the Impact of Microsoft PowerPoint as a Learning Tool on Educational Outcomes
Main Article Content
Abstract
The integration of Microsoft PowerPoint as a learning tool in educational settings has gained significant attention due to its potential to enhance teaching and learning experiences. This study evaluates the impact of Microsoft PowerPoint on educational outcomes by examining its effectiveness in improving student engagement, understanding, and academic performance. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from pre- and post-intervention assessments with qualitative insights from student and teacher feedback.
The study's quantitative component involved comparing academic performance metrics before and after the implementation of PowerPoint presentations in various subjects. Data was collected from a sample of students across different grade levels and academic disciplines. The results indicate a notable improvement in students' test scores and overall academic performance following the use of PowerPoint as a learning medium. This improvement is attributed to PowerPoint’s ability to present information in a visually engaging manner, thus aiding in better retention and comprehension of complex concepts.
In addition to quantitative data, the study explored qualitative feedback through surveys and interviews with students and educators. The findings reveal that students found PowerPoint presentations to be more engaging and interactive compared to traditional teaching methods. Educators reported that PowerPoint facilitated clearer communication of ideas and enabled them to incorporate multimedia elements, such as images, videos, and animations, which enhanced the learning experience. However, challenges such as technical issues and the risk of over-reliance on the tool were also noted.
