0Effect of Computer Animations on Senior High School Students’ Learning Outcomes in Chemistry: A Focus on Rate of Reactions
Layman's Abstract: Many students find chemistry difficult, especially when learning about reaction rates, because it involves abstract concepts. Teachers work hard to make these topics more understandable and engaging. One promising approach is using technology, such as computer animations, interactive cartoons, and other digital tools, to improve learning.
This study examined how computer animations impact students' understanding of reaction rates in two public Senior High Schools in the Ablekuma West Municipal area of Ghana. A total of 85 students participated, divided into two groups: an experimental group that used computer animations and a control group that learned through traditional methods. Both groups took a pre-test before learning to ensure they started at the same level. After the lessons, a post-test was given to measure improvement.
The results showed that students who learned with computer animations performed significantly better than those who did not. This suggests that using animations can help students understand reaction rates more easily and improve their academic performance. The study highlights the importance of integrating technology into chemistry lessons to enhance learning.
