Abstract
The utilization of technology for the teaching-learning process involves integrating digital tools, resources, and platforms into educational settings to enhance the learning experience. This includes the use of Learning Management Systems (LMS), multimedia presentations, online collaboration tools, and various educational software. The goal is to improve student engagement, motivation, and academic performance while also aiding teachers in delivering effective instruction. Technology in education can provide personalized learning experiences, facilitate access to information, and support innovative teaching methods. This study examines the utilization of technology in the teaching-learning process at CICOSAT Colleges, focusing on its impact on student motivation, engagement, faculty motivation, and overall effectiveness, as well as the challenges encountered. The research aims to determine the effects of technology on classroom-based learning by addressing key questions related to the level of technology utilization, its effectiveness in enhancing motivation and engagement, the challenges faced in technology integration, and proposed measures for improvement. The findings reveal that technology significantly enhances both student and faculty motivation and engagement by creating technology-supported environments tailored to diverse learning styles. However, challenges such as inadequate internet connectivity and insufficient technological facilities impede effective technology integration and negatively impact the quality of education. Despite these challenges, the study shows that the utilization of technology has a positive impact on the educational process. In conclusion, the integration of technology in the teaching-learning process at CICOSAT Colleges significantly enhances student motivation and engagement, as well as faculty motivation. The use of diverse digital applications allows teachers to create a learning environment aligned with students' learning styles, fostering constructive and interactive learning experiences. However, challenges such as limited internet connectivity and technological resources hinder the effective use of technology, impacting both students' and faculty members' ability to perform tasks efficiently and affecting the quality of education. Thus, the study recommends that CICOSAT Colleges provide vital technologies, such as maintaining computer labs and offering laptops and tablets, to support students' academic success. Continuous innovation and training should be prioritized, with efforts to advance technology interventions and enhance teacher training on new technologies. Additionally, ongoing professional development for educators, the implementation of alternative learning strategies, and sustained collaboration are essential for creating an effective learning environment that maximizes the benefits of technology. This study underscores the importance of integrating technology into education and offers actionable recommendations to enhance its utilization at CICOSAT Colleges.
