ENHANCING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND LEARNING OUTCOMES IN HIGHER EDUCATION USING H5P INTERACTIVE LEARNING TOOLS: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The growing emphasis on innovative teaching methods in higher education underscores the significance of interactive tools like H5P in promoting student engagement and enhancing academic outcomes. However, its pedagogical potential remains insufficiently examined, warranting a systematic investigation of its effects. This study undertakes a comprehensive review of existing research on using H5P in higher education, focusing on its contribution to active learning and improved academic performance. Guided by the PRISMA methodology, the researcher systematically reviewed 30 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus, ScienceDirect, and ERIC. The analysis identified three key themes, including H5P Tools and Interactive Content for Student Engagement, Impact of H5P on Learning Outcomes, and Innovative Pedagogical Approaches Using H5P. The findings demonstrate that H5P facilitates enhanced student engagement through dynamic content, self-paced learning, and interactive assessments, improving academic results. Nevertheless, gaps persist in areas such as longitudinal studies and cross-cultural applications, indicating the need for further research. The study concludes that H5P has transformative potential for higher education but emphasizes the importance of aligning its use with pedagogical objectives and ensuring adequate technical support. These insights provide educators and policymakers practical guidance for integrating H5P to foster engaging, inclusive, and effective learning environments.
