Background of the study
Effective classroom interaction is pivotal for enhancing learning, particularly in science education where dynamic visual explanations are essential. In government science schools in Gombe, Gombe State, traditional blackboards and static teaching materials often fail to fully engage students. A digital whiteboard system offers an innovative solution by enabling real-time interactive instruction. This system supports the integration of multimedia content—such as animations, videos, and interactive simulations—allowing teachers to present complex scientific concepts in a visually dynamic and engaging manner (Adeola, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024). Digital whiteboards facilitate collaborative learning by enabling students to participate directly through touch interfaces and shared annotations. The system also allows for the display of real-time data and virtual experiments, which can significantly enhance the understanding of scientific principles. Moreover, digital whiteboards can be integrated with online learning platforms, making them a versatile tool for both in-person and distance education. However, the implementation of such technology faces challenges including high acquisition and maintenance costs, technical difficulties in system integration, and the need for comprehensive teacher training. This study aims to design and implement a digital whiteboard system tailored for government science schools in Gombe, evaluate its impact on student engagement and academic performance, and propose strategies to overcome technical and operational challenges (Chinaza, 2023).
Statement of the problem
Government science schools in Gombe currently rely on traditional blackboards and outdated teaching aids that limit interactive and collaborative learning. These conventional methods often fail to capture the dynamic nature of scientific phenomena, resulting in lower student engagement and reduced comprehension of complex concepts. Although digital whiteboards have the potential to transform classroom instruction by providing interactive, multimedia-rich experiences, their adoption is hindered by high costs, technical maintenance issues, and limited teacher training in digital tools. These challenges lead to an environment where students do not fully benefit from modern educational technologies, impacting their overall academic performance in science subjects. This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of digital whiteboards in enhancing science education, identify technical and operational barriers to their implementation, and recommend strategies to optimize their use in government schools in Gombe (Ibrahim, 2024; Adeola, 2023).
Objectives of the study
• To design and implement a digital whiteboard system for science instruction.
• To evaluate its effect on student engagement and learning outcomes.
• To identify challenges and propose strategies for effective system integration.
Research questions
• How do digital whiteboards enhance interactive science teaching?
• What technical and operational challenges affect their usage?
• How can teacher training and support be improved for effective implementation?
Significance of the study
This study is significant as it provides a framework for incorporating digital whiteboard technology into science education, potentially improving teaching methods and student outcomes in government schools in Gombe (Adeola, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024).
Scope and limitations of the study
The study is limited to the implementation of a digital whiteboard system in government science schools in Gombe, Gombe State. Limitations include high costs, technical maintenance issues, and variability in teacher digital literacy.
