| Summary: | The paper proposes a framework for assessing the influence of Modern Instructional
Technology (MIT) on the teaching of Agric vocational courses in higher institutions. As an ongoing
Master’s research, the study set to identify the MIT methods and equipment used in teaching
Agric vocational courses in a study area, assess the influence of MIT methods on teaching Agric
vocational subjects in the study areas and propose a framework for improving teaching of Agric
vocational courses using MIT in the study areas. Literature revealed how much attention is given to
the influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) equipment on education with
little attention given to the changes in Instruction Technology. The development of MIT poses a
challenge to the instructors to improve educational quality to meet the current need of education of
the 21 century digital students. As a multi-disciplinary study, theoretical and conceptual
frameworks are important and study approach is considered a quantitative method. As the study
moves toward pragmatists’ school of thought about what constitute knowledge, exploratory survey
and case study were recommended. The population of the study comprises of the students of Agric
education offering core Agric education subjects in a study area. Data collected will be analysed
using descriptive statistics and parametric inferential statistics. The study can provide ideas on how
the use of MIT stimulates teaching of Agric vocational courses in the study area. It will indicate
how to encourage young individuals to embark on vocational skills and will prove that use of MIT
leads to critical thinking that leads to new innovations |
