A study on the use of interactive tools in enhancing engagement in online classes among B.Ed students

The aim of the study was to determine how effectively online teaching resources worked with student teachers. An experimental methodology was used for this study. The sample consisted of 200 B.Ed student teachers from St. Paul College of Education. Student teachers were instructed using online teaching tools such as Kahoot, Quizizz, Nearpod, and Mentimeter. The statistical methods used included the paired t-test, mean, and standard deviation. The conclusions of the study were as follows: i) there was no significant difference between the pre-test performance of the experimental group and that of the control group regarding the effectiveness of online teaching tools. ii) In the post-test, there was a significant difference between the performance of students in the experimental group and the control group, indicating the effectiveness of the online teaching tools. iii) The pre-test and post-test results for both the control and experimental groups showed a large effect size, highlighting the usefulness of online teaching tools. iv) There was no significant difference in the pre-test and post-test results of student teachers in the experimental group and those in the control group based on the type of family background, in relation to the effectiveness of online teaching tools.
