DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR TRANSFORMATION OF TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has profoundly transformed technology education, reshaping teaching, learning, and curriculum delivery. Traditional pedagogical approaches are increasingly insufficient for developing twenty-first-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration. Digital tools—including e-learning platforms, virtual laboratories, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence, have emerged as key drivers of innovation, enabling interactive, personalized, and learner-centered educational experiences. This study examines the conceptualization of digital technology in education, its role in enhancing teaching and learning, its impact on students’ skills development, innovations in curriculum delivery, and the challenges associated with integration. While digital technologies offer immense potential for improving access, equity, and learning outcomes, their effective adoption requires addressing systemic barriers such as infrastructure deficits, limited teacher training, and digital inequality. The study argues that strategic investment, inclusive policies, and continuous professional development are essential for maximizing the benefits of digital transformation in technology education.
