Problem Statement

Title: The Impact of Digital Learning Tools on Student Engagement and Academic Performance

In recent years, the integration of digital learning tools in educational settings has surged, particularly spurred by circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the growing use of technology in classrooms, there remains a notable gap in understanding how these digital tools affect student engagement and academic performance.

2. What is the correlation between the use of digital tools and academic performance, as measured by grades and test scores?

Hypothesis: The incorporation of digital learning tools will show a positive correlation with both student engagement and academic performance among high school students.
