Abstract


Technology-based education has developed rapidly in recent years. The use of technology in learning environments provides an excellent opportunity to increase student engagement, enhance their learning experience and prepare them for the demands of an ever-changing digital world. The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of technology-based learning to increase student engagement. First, this article presents various technology tools and platforms that can be used for learning. In an age dominated by digital devices, there are many tools and apps that can help create engaging and interactive learning experiences. For example, smartphone apps, interactive learning software and online learning platforms can be used to create rich content, realistic simulations and better student collaboration. In addition, this article examines the importance of paying attention to the diversity of student learning styles in a technology-enabled curriculum. Every student has unique learning preferences, and technology is enabling teachers to create learning experiences tailored to individual learning styles. For example, instructional videos, interactive simulations, and online discussions can be used for a variety of student learning needs. In addition, this article highlights the importance of involving students in making decisions about technology-based learning. By giving students the opportunity to actively participate in determining content, methods and learning objectives, they feel more involved and responsible for their learning. Through active participation, students can develop the critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills needed in a changing society. Lastly, this article emphasizes the importance of continuous assessment and progress in technology-based learning. To ensure the effective use of technology, it is necessary to continuously assess its impact on student learning. In addition, continuous efforts must be made to further develop and update the technology used in learning so that it can continue to meet the growing needs and demands of learning. In short it can be said that the use of technology in teaching offers excellent opportunities to increase students' willingness to learn. Through the use of different technology tools and platforms, accommodating the diversity of student learning styles, involving students in decision-making, and continuous evaluation and progress, the potential of technology-based learning can be optimized to create more dynamic, engaging and important learning experiences for today's students.
