Exploring the Educational Impact Of Integrating Online Learning Platforms: A Case Study Of First Year Secondary School Students

Abstract

This study explores the educational impact of integrating online learning platforms into Algerian secondary schools, with a particular focus on first-year students. It adopts a mixedmethods approach to examine the perceptions of both students and teachers regarding the use of e-learning tools in classrooms that are still largely governed by traditional instructional practices. Data were collected via questionnaires, and the findings reveal that while digital platforms offer greater flexibility, accessibility, and engagement, their full potential is constrained by infrastructural deficiencies, unequal digital access, and a lack of training for both educators and learners. The study advocates for a blended learning approach, which combines traditional teaching with online tools, and provides practical recommendations to enhance the implementation of e-learning in the Algerian educational system
