The Application of Innovative Technologies in Science Teaching and Learning on the Academic Performance of Entrepreneurship Students

This study examined the application of innovative technologies in science teaching and learning and its effect on the academic performance of entrepreneurship students. The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed educational practices globally, creating new opportunities for interactive learning, improved classroom engagement, and enhanced knowledge acquisition. Despite these developments, many institutions in developing countries still experience challenges in integrating modern technologies into science education, thereby affecting students’ academic achievement and entrepreneurial competencies. The study therefore investigated how innovative technological tools such as multimedia resources, virtual laboratories, e-learning platforms, smart devices, and internet-based instructional methods influence the teaching and learning process among entrepreneurship students. The study adopted a mixed approach which are descriptive survey research design and Qualitative approach through the use of case studies. Data were collected from selected entrepreneurship students and science educators using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings revealed that the use of innovative technologies significantly improves students’ understanding of scientific concepts, increases classroom participation, promotes critical thinking, and enhances academic performance. The study also identified inadequate technological infrastructure, limited digital literacy, poor internet connectivity, and insufficient funding as major challenges affecting effective implementation. The study concluded that the integration of innovative technologies into science teaching and learning positively impacts the academic performance and entrepreneurial skills development of students. It recommended increased government investment in educational technologies, regular teacher training, provision of digital learning facilities, and institutional support for technology-driven instructional strategies to improve science education outcomes and entrepreneurial development.
