چکیده
This paper reports the outcome of a quasi-longitudinal investigation into the effects on students’ performance of integrating technology facilitated learning (TFL) using MS Excel into the business statistics syllabus of a tourism management programme. By varying the magnitude of TFL applied in the syllabus of the subject across four consecutive cohorts, the impact on the students’ performance was cross-compared. The outcome of this investigation suggests that TFL contributes constructively towards enhancing the students’ performance. The inferences were found to be consistent with a host of theoretical considerations in published literature.
