Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of interactive technology on enhancing agricultural education and student engagement. In recent years, the integration of technology in education has become increasingly prevalent, offering new opportunities for innovative teaching and learning practices. The agricultural sector, as a practical and hands-on field of study, can greatly benefit from the implementation of interactive technology to enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes. The study begins with an introduction to the topic, providing background information on the current state of agricultural education and the role of technology in shaping modern teaching practices. The problem statement highlights the need for research in this area, pointing out the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating interactive technology into agricultural education. The objectives of the study are to investigate the effectiveness of interactive technology in enhancing student engagement, identify best practices for its implementation, and assess the overall impact on learning outcomes. Limitations of the study, such as time constraints and access to resources, are also discussed, along with the scope of the research, which focuses on exploring the use of interactive technology in agricultural education settings. The significance of the study lies in its potential to inform educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders about the benefits of incorporating interactive technology into agricultural curricula, ultimately improving the quality of education in this field. The structure of the thesis is outlined, detailing the chapters and sub-sections that will be covered in the research. Chapter two presents a comprehensive literature review, examining existing studies and theories related to interactive technology in education, student engagement, and agricultural learning. Key themes include the benefits of interactive technology, challenges in its implementation, and best practices for integrating it into the curriculum. Chapter three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from students, educators, and other stakeholders in agricultural education. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and limitations of the research design. Chapter four presents the findings of the study, analyzing the data collected and discussing the implications for agricultural education. Key themes include the impact of interactive technology on student engagement, learning outcomes, and overall satisfaction with the educational experience. The chapter also explores the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating interactive technology into agricultural curricula. Finally, chapter five offers a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications for practice, and recommendations for future research. Overall, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on the use of interactive technology in education, offering insights into its potential to enhance agricultural education and improve student engagement.
