Abstract

The paper examines the effect of perceived ease of use, user acceptance, and quality assurance practices on the acceptance of digital technology among mechanical engineering teachers in Technical Universities in Ghana. The paper adopts a quantitative research approach using a descriptive survey design. A sample of 167 mechanical engineering teachers was selected using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire that included demographic information and variables related to digital technology acceptance. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with the aid of SmartPLS 4 software. The study's findings reveal that perceived ease of use, user acceptance, and quality assurance practices significantly and positively influence mechanical engineering teachers' acceptance of digital technology. Specifically, the acceptance of quality assurance practices was found to have the strongest impact on technology acceptance among the three factors examined. The study focused on mechanical engineering teachers in Ghana's Technical universities, limiting the generalizability of the findings to other educational contexts. Future research should consider expanding the sample size and including participants from different educational institutions and other disciplines. This study contributes to the existing literature on digital technology acceptance by examining the specific context of mechanical engineering education in Ghana. The findings also contribute to the broader discourse on digital skills development and closing the digital divide in educational settings.

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that combines two-dimensional and or three-dimensional virtual objects into a real environment and then projects these virtual objects in reality in real time. Through this AR technology, users can see virtual objects added to the real world with contextual information. In education, AR has been widely used to complement the standard curriculum. Text, graphics, video, and audio can be superimposed into the student's real-time environment. This article aims to examine how the application and impact of the use of AR in vocational education. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method is used to identify, study, evaluate, and interpret Augmented Reality in vocational education. Research data were identified using the SLR method with the help of the PRISMA 2020 form. Article collection was carried out on the Science Direct database. There were as many as 454 articles. After being selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data used were 14 articles. The study results reveal that AR is applied in learning as an innovative learning medium, a new approach to learning to improve students' understanding of knowledge and skills and provide a concrete learning experience. The integration of AR in education has the impact of increasing students' understanding and learning experience, promoting positive attitudes, making the learning process fun and interesting, and learning efficiency
