ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to investigate the influence of web technology on students engagement and academic performance integrated science education. The survey collected data from a sample of students and educators involved in integrated science classes with the aid of questionnaires. The analysis focused on four key aspects: the perceived value of web technology, its impact on student engagement and participation, the benefits derived from its integration, and the challenges encountered. The findings reveal that web technology is highly valued as a learning resource in integrated science education, providing additional materials beyond the classroom and keeping students updated on scientific discoveries. The integration of web technology positively influences student engagement and participation, fostering a supportive and interactive learning environment. The benefits of web technology integration include expanded learning resources, opportunities for independent exploration, convenient access to materials, collaboration possibilities, and the development of digital literacy skills. However, challenges such as distractions, comprehension difficulties, high data costs, and teachers' technological skills were identified. Importantly, these challenges were not universally experienced by all participants. The study underscores the importance of emphasizing web technology integration, providing guidance on responsible and focused use, addressing comprehension difficulties, considering accessibility and cost, enhancing teachers' technological skills, fostering collaboration, and continuously evaluating and adapting practices. These findings contribute to the understanding of the impact of web technology in integrated science education and provide recommendations for educators to optimize its benefits and address challenges effectively.
