Abstract

This action research project is intended to determine the effects of Chromebook technology on student engagement in the secondary classroom. The study involved a classroom of first-year students enrolled in a health course. These students used Chromebooks for the first time as part of the one-to-one (1:1) initiative. Chromebooks were utilized as a part of the curriculum, incorporating daily lessons, teaching tools, applications, and various activities for student learning. Data collection methods included observations, teacher journals, and field notes. On-task and off-task behaviors were noted, and the results of the data analysis showed the level of engagement involved when using Chromebooks in the classroom. Levels of engagement were explored through a six-week study in a 9th-grade classroom comprised of 28 students using Chromebook one-to-one. Engagement included focus, interest, participation in the lesson and activity, and positive social interactions between the teacher and classmates. This action research investigation indicated that incorporating Chromebook technology into lessons effectively increased student engagement and motivation.
