The use of digital learning repositories And its impact on students’ engagement And satisfaction in selected public Secondary schools in Mfoundi division

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of Digital L earning repository (DLR) and it impact on students’ engagement and satisfaction in some selected public secondary schools in Mfoundi Division. This study was guided by three (3) research objectives which focuses on student engagement, and students’ satisfaction and the mediating effect among the two constructs (satisfaction and engagement in the use of DLR). The study used a descriptive survey design, the accessible population of this study was drawn from seven (07) government bilingual high schools from the seven subdivisions of Mfoundi where students of the English sub-system of education were targeted. The researcher, therefore, had access to 315 students drawn from the seven (07) government bilingual high schools in Mfoundi division. The researcher also used two main sampling technics which were the probability and the nonprobability technics as a self- administered questionnaire were used to capture the views of students on the use of DLR. The correlation, simple linear regression as well as the statistically more advanced method of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to analyse data collected from the field. Data analysis proved that a significant relationship exists between use of digital learning on student’s engagement and satisfaction. The study found that digital learning repository is a strong determinant of student’s engagement and satisfaction. In terms of mediating effect there is a strong mediating effect between student’s satisfaction and the use of digital learning repository and student’s engagement. Hence effective students’ satisfaction will enhance effective students’ engagement in the use of digital learning repository. Thus, the study concludes that a well design digital learning repository will lead to an effective student engagement through satisfaction.
