Keywords:
Innovative teaching methods, Educational technology, Higher education, Technology integration, Learning qualityAbstract
This study delves into the utilization of emerging technologies to revolutionize pedagogical approaches within tertiary institutions. Through the amalgamation of inventive teaching methodologies and judicious deployment of technological tools, it underscores a marked enhancement in academic proficiency and skill acquisition among students. Extant research underscores that the amalgamation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) within university academia fosters heightened engagement between educators and learners, thereby engendering an environment conducive to profound learning experiences. Moreover, the incorporation of educational technology bolsters educators' confidence and instructional efficacy through the deployment of pioneering resources and platforms. Nonetheless, the adoption of innovative teaching methods encounters impediments including faculty resistance, deficient technological infrastructure, and concerns regarding inclusivity and accessibility. To surmount these challenges, educational institutions must institute strategic initiatives encompassing faculty training, infrastructural investments, and the establishment of robust support frameworks. In summation, the integration of technology in educational practices not only augurs well for elevating academic standards but also serves as a linchpin for fostering transformative change and sustainable growth within higher education throughout the 21st century.
