Agricultural Education,

The study employs a descriptive survey research design, with a population of 141 students from the Department of Vocational and Technical Education. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 71 respondents. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, validated by experts, and tested for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha, yielding a coefficient of 0.73. The analysis was conducted using mean and standard deviation, with a threshold of 2.5 for acceptance of responses. The findings highlight that digital tools, field-based activities, technology integration, and hands-on laboratory and farm practices significantly enhance student engagement, cognitive development, and skill acquisition. Despite these benefits, challenges such as technological adaptation difficulties, limited real-world application, and inadequate infrastructure hinder the full adoption of innovative methods. To address these barriers, the study recommends collaborations with agribusinesses, improved access to modern equipment, training workshops for educators, and diversified instructional methods. This research underscores the necessity of transforming agricultural education through experiential learning to produce graduates equipped for the evolving demands of the agricultural sector. The findings provide a foundation for curriculum development, policy adjustments and institutional reforms aimed at fostering an interactive and practical learning environment in agricultural science and education
