Abstract
The use of educational technology in education has transformed teaching and learning the chemistry process, significantly influencing Student’s ability to engage. This has caused some ethical issues in the classroom because of the learning process. This study examines the various educational technologies and ethical issues during the teaching process. The research explores how Student’ sfamiliarity with the use of technology and media sources affects their instruction delivery and classroom engagement. The study is grounded in the technology use and review of related literature, which collectively provide insight into the educational technology for teaching chemistry in secondary school
A descriptive research design was employed, incorporating a questionnaire as the instrument of Study to assert ethical issues to the use of technology in the classroom and their possible solution. The findings reveal that the various ethical issues seen in classroom are likely to contribute to poor learning/engagement and low-class performance. The study underscores the challenges of educational technology which include inadequate technological facilities, unstable power supply, poor internet service. By providing solutions to these challenges, the ability to utilize educational technology effectively during class teaching ultimately go and quality education. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on educational technology and it’s role in modern pedagogy, highlighting the need for continuous innovation of learning. The ethical issues include (discrimination and bully, plagiarism, examination malpractice, watching of unauthorized videos) can hinder the learning and easy understanding for students, violation of copyright law, decrease in academic performance at large. Moreover, the ethical issues encountered in the classroom, research shows the affect the learning and classroom engagement in a negative way. Based on my findings derived from this study, it is clear that the use of Educational Technology can make or mar the student learning either by positive or negative impact
