Implementing Technology-Based Learning Approaches in Agricultural Education: A Case Study in Improving Student Engagement and Knowledge Retention

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the implementation of technology-based learning approaches in agricultural education to enhance student engagement and knowledge retention. The study focuses on exploring the potential benefits and challenges associated with integrating technology into agricultural education settings. A case study methodology is employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and surveys from students and educators in an agricultural education program. The research findings highlight the positive impact of technology on student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes in agricultural education. However, challenges such as access to technology, digital literacy, and resistance to change are also identified. The study provides insights into the effective use of technology in agricultural education, emphasizing the importance of pedagogical strategies that leverage technology to create interactive and engaging learning experiences. Recommendations for educators, policymakers, and future research directions are discussed to support the continued integration of technology in agricultural education programs. This thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced learning in agricultural education and provides valuable insights for improving student engagement and knowledge retention in this field.
