Abstract

This research paper investigates the utilization of electronic textbooks (e-textbooks) as a pedagogical tool in teaching technology. The study explores the efficacy of e-textbooks in enhancing student learning outcomes, engagement, and overall satisfaction in technology education. By leveraging digital tools and resources, e-textbooks offer a dynamic and interactive learning experience that caters to the diverse needs and preferences of digital-native learners. This research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on the integration of technology in education and provides evidence-based insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders invested in optimizing technological education for the digital era.
