Abstract

The current training needs in agricultural program learning should contribute to the evolution of training in South African Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. It is ironic that while other countries have advanced into a new era of educational innovation, the South African TVET colleges lag behind in technological development. The survey research approach allows for data measurements and statistical analysis. The study sought to determine whether the agricultural training in TVET colleges is evolving and progressing to integrate technology into the learning process. The three TVET college campuses with 482 participants were purposefully and conveniently sampled due to their experience in agricultural programmes. The findings were presented using the AVOVA analysis that is based on theory of technology integration. According to the study's findings, TVET colleges have evolved in how they train students in agricultural programmes. The study revealed that agriculture lecturers could use technological tools frequently when training the students. However, the results revealed that lack of learning resources affects the use of technology during agriculture training. The evolution would have been better if there had been an inclusion of phases such as technology integration exploration, experimentation with technology integration, technology integration adoption, and advanced technology integration. The study suggests that the gender factor should be considered as a barrier during the technological integration phases to accommodate all the students.

Abstract

The world is currently experiencing transformation in most areas, including in education. The teaching and learning of agricultural programmes ought to be modelled and aligned with transformation. The shift from traditional classroom teaching and learning requires support to train agriculture with technology integration. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the transformation of the teaching and learning of agricultural programmes using technology. This study utilised a qualitative research method. There were 20 lecturers from three Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college campuses that were involved in this study. The findings revealed that transforming agricultural programmes to fully integrate technology is hampered by a lack of resources, equipment, and infrastructure. Teaching and learning support with resources and tools to acclimate to learning agriculture with technology integration is required. The study underscored the need for and the importance of providing support to institutions that are struggling to acquire teaching and learning resources, equipment, and infrastructure to implement the integration of technology. These findings emphasise the need to provide support for technical resources, equipment, and infrastructure to enhance the integration of technology. The research findings led to the development of a conceptual model for technology integration in TVET agricultural education. The key interrelated features that can be used to improve the support of technology integration in TVET colleges are clearly stipulated in the model.
