REVOLUTIONALIZING EDUCATION: A CONTEMPORARY APPROACH TO TEACHING THROUGH INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGY AND TECHNOLOGY UTLIZATION

Abstract

The necessity to adopt innovative pedagogical strategies and upgrade technology integration in teaching and learning has become increasingly clear as a result of the impact of the pandemic on school curricula and learning delivery. This study was undertaken with the intent to explore the influence of innovative pedagogical attitude on technology integration. Public secondary school teachers participated in this study by providing significant data and answering adapted questionnaires. A quantitative-correlational design with multiple linear regression analysis for data interpretation was used in this study. Results showed that secondary school teachers displayed positive attitude towards adoption of innovative pedagogies as well as on technology integration to facilitate students’ learning. Teachers’ innovative attitude was discovered to be an important indicator of technology integration among teachers which means that who maintain a positive disposition towards innovative teaching are willing to explore and use existing new technologies to engage their students. Hence, teachers need to be creative and integrate the use of technology in their teaching practices so as to create a positive learning environment that fosters student engagement and enhances learning outcomes.
