The Impact of Techno- Pedagogical Practices on Early Childhood Development (ECD) Learners’ Healthy Development.

Emerging technologies have transformed teaching and learning. Technology is now being used in various fields and is in people ‘s everyday lives incorporated The techno- pedagogical activities have become an integral component in all teaching and learning situations. The paper explores issues related to teaching young learners (3-8) years. A case study has been used along with content analysis to draw evidence from a wide range of techno-pedagogical practices. A blended teaching learning model has been used as a yardstick to measure how online tools and resources are used to enhance learning experiences among young learners. The study found out that techno-pedagogy has witnessed a paradigm shift from the traditional chalk and talk but it has its negative side on the part of ECD children’s holistic development. The study established that techno- pedagogy creates digital divides among children, overreliance on screens, depersonalise children’s learning experiences as well as impacting on physical and mental well-being. The study recommends that children limit technology use while focusing on other tasks and turning off devices where digital activity is not necessary.
