Mixed-methods survey shows technology integration enhances student engagement in Ghanaian arts education, suggesting a need for tailored solutions.
In Ghana's arts and humanities education sector, traditional teaching methods have often dominated, limiting student engagement and innovation. A mixed-methods survey was conducted with educators and students across various institutions. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires, while qualitative insights were gathered from interviews and focus groups to understand current teaching practices and potential improvements. The findings indicate that integrating technology into classroom settings can significantly improve student engagement (35% reported increased interest), though concerns about digital divide persist among rural schools. Innovative pedagogic approaches, particularly the use of multimedia resources, show promise in revitalizing arts and humanities education. However, barriers such as infrastructure limitations require tailored solutions to ensure equitable access. Educators should be equipped with training on digital tools for inclusive learning environments, while policymakers must address resource disparities through targeted interventions.
