摘要：
The attitude of students towards science is an important issue around the world. This study is an effort to enhance student's engagement by increasing their interest in science through technology. This study aimed to find the mediating role of technology between students' academic engagement and their attitude towards science. We conducted a mediation analysis on 400 completed questionnaires filled by science students of wah Cantt, Pakistan. The surveys were distributed among the science students of matriculation, including the 9th and 10th class of 15 randomly selected secondary schools. This study explored the mediating role of technology attitude for learning as a mediating variable between students' academic engagement and students' attitudes towards science. The results showed that a technology attitude for learning is a partial mediator between students' academic engagement and students' attitudes towards science. Further, the study also showed the levels of students' academic engagement, students' attitude, and technology attitude for learning is prominent in male students as well as 10th class students as compared to females and students of 9th class.
