Abstract:
This study seeks to examine the impact of integrating technology into teaching circle geometry on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. Lecturers' attitudes are the focal agenda in implementing digital tools appropriately in order to complement school pedagogical practice, especially when schools embrace them. Through qualitative approaches, this study investigates the ways through which technology fosters pedagogical innovation, enhances education involvement, and contributes to learning outcomes. There is an established fact that demonstrates lecturers employ technology as a vehicle to condense intricate geometric principles, it's basic enough to permit learning through sight and interaction, and accommodating students who otherwise would not have been able to deal with the conventional methods.
Technology has also provided with new horizons in one-to-one learning, it supports multiple ways of learning within students, as well as facilitating cooperative ways of instruction. However, some of them are issues of a very critical nature which are raised by research, varying from inadequate training, inadequate resource access, to resistance from students and lecturers. These are hindrances to the maximum utilization of technology in the teaching of geometry and require serious consideration. Finally, the article provides comments on the serious curriculum planning implications and calls on various inclusive professional training courses to enable TVET lecturers with intellectual ability and self-confidence to utilize technology in an effective manner for teaching. In the course of establishing an innovative culture, TVET colleges can improve learning outcomes as well as get students job-ready. The importance of employing technology to teach geometry as a way of establishing a solid base for intervention and research interventions to ensure the highest possible results of students is a critical component of this study.Keywords:
