Abstract
This study explores the role of instructional animation and ICT in enhancing the quality of education at the secondary school level. Literatures on the benefits of instructional animations, their impact on student engagement were reviewed. The study adopted a quantitative research design to collect and analyze data. A well-structured questionnaire was developed and administered on one hundred and fifty secondary school students from five secondary schools was selected as the participants. The reliability coefficient was established at 0.72 using Kuder-Richardson (KR-20). The study showed that instructional animation and ICT have a positive impact on student engagement and learning outcomes. The use of ICT is associated with improved academic performance, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and collaboration among students. The research found that there are some challenges to implementing instructional animation and ICT in Secondary schools. From the conclusion of the findings, it was recommended amongst others that Educators and policymakers should consider incorporating instructional animation and ICT into their teaching and learning strategies, as these technologies have been found to have a positive impact on student engagement and learning outcomes. Teachers should be provided with professional development opportunities to learn how to effectively integrate instructional animation and ICT into their teaching practices.
