Investigating the Effect of Interactive Learning Modules on Students' Engagement and Performance in Computer Science Courses

Computer Science

This study investigates the impact of interactive learning modules on student performance in computer science courses, focusing on student perceptions and engagement. Educational technology has rapidly evolved in recent years, providing instructors with new tools to enhance student learning experiences. Despite this growth, limited research has examined how interactive modules influence academic outcomes in computer science education. Using a questionnaire administered to 150 students from the computer science department at Abi-Isa College of Education, Zawia University, this study assesses students' experiences with and attitudes toward interactive learning modules. The results suggest that the majority of students find interactive modules beneficial for understanding complex programming concepts and maintaining engagement. Statistical analysis shows a positive correlation between the use of interactive modules and higher self-reported confidence in problem-solving abilities, with students reporting increased motivation and satisfaction with their learning. While a few challenges, such as technological issues, were noted, the findings indicate that integrating interactive modules into computer science education can significantly improve students' comprehension and performance. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on digital learning tools in STEM fields and provides insights for educators seeking to enhance their teaching methods through interactive technology.
