Effects of Educational Technology on Students Academic Achievement in Agricultural Education: A Meta-analysis

abstract

• The use of educational technology is essential in education, and numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits and effects of implementing educational technology in general education settings. However, there is a research gap concerning the investigation of its impact in the field of agriculture using the meta-analysis method. To address this research gap, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis investigating the effect of educational technology on students' academic performance in agricultural education from 2000 to 2022. The study included 14 research works, and the average mean effect size was found to be 0.23 for the fixed-effect model and 0.21 for the random-effect model. Variables such as subjects, educational level, types of educational technology, and sample size were used for moderator analysis. The findings revealed that all four variables significantly moderate the effect size. This suggests that the use of educational technology has a positive impact on students' academic performance in agricultural education. Considering these results, implications for further research and classroom practice are provided.
