Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines contemporary pedagogical approaches applicable to teaching technological subjects, focusing on their theoretical foundations and practical implementation. Project-based learning, problem-based learning, blended learning, STEAM integration, virtual laboratories and simulations, and differentiated instruction are analysed with regard to their pedagogical value, classroom application and formative and summative assessment strategies. Practical recommendations address curriculum design, classroom organisation, teacher professional development, safety and ethical considerations, and collaboration with industry. The article concludes with policy and resourcing suggestions intended to support staged adoption of modern methods within institutional constraints.
