Enhancing Educators’ Technological Aptitude to Support Modern Education

The integration of technology into education has become essential for fostering effective teaching and learning environments, especially in Computer Science Education (CSE). This study investigates the critical role of educators' technological aptitude in enhancing student engagement and personalizing instruction. Despite the growing emphasis on digital learning tools, a significant gap remains in targeted strategies to improve educators' technological skills. This research identifies and evaluates effective approaches for enhancing educators' technological proficiency, hypothesizing that tailored professional development programs focused on technology integration will lead to substantial improvements in their capabilities. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, data were collected from 150 educators across various institutions through surveys, interviews, and classroom observations. The analysis revealed a marked increase in technological skills post-intervention, with participants demonstrating a 30% improvement compared to a control group. Additionally, the findings suggest that collaborative training environments significantly enhance educators' confidence and competence in using technology. This study highlights the necessity of continuous professional development, peer collaboration, and supportive school cultures to foster educators' technological aptitude. The implications of these findings underscore the importance of investing in targeted training programs to equip teachers with the skills required for effective technology integration in the classroom. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of these strategies on both educator proficiency and student learning outcomes, ensuring that educational institutions remain adaptive and responsive to the evolving technological landscape.
