Techno Pedagogical Strategies for Enhancing Students’ Attention in the Classroom

Abstract

In the digital age, maintaining students' attention in the classroom has become a significant challenge for educators. This study explores techno-pedagogical strategies integrating technology with pedagogical methods to enhance student engagement and focus. The research examines various digital tools, such as interactive whiteboards, gamification, augmented reality (AR), and AI-driven learning platforms, alongside traditional teaching methodologies. A mixed-method approach, including surveys, classroom observations, and experimental studies, was employed to assess the effectiveness of these strategies. Findings indicate that interactive and immersive technologies, when aligned with sound pedagogical principles, significantly improve students' attention spans and academic performance. However, successful implementation requires teacher training, infrastructure support, and balanced screen time. This paper provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to optimize classroom engagement through technologyenhanced pedagogy.
