The research aim was to explore the role played by digital technologies in the
teaching and learning process of Home Economics students. In the current
learning environment supported by technology, digital technologies such as
smartphones, tablets, laptops, learning apps, online learning platforms, virtual
labs, and simulations offer theoretical and practical knowledge and skill acquisition.
This research elucidates how the application of these digital technologies enables
interaction, performance, and skill acquisition of Home Economics students.
Descriptive design was employed to quantify student demographic profile in
numbers and study the effectiveness of the integration of digital technology for
learning. Data were gathered by using the Likert-scale survey questionnaire for
measuring the experience and perception of the students. It was revealed that the
majority of the students view the digital technologies as good learning tools that
enhance understanding, enhance collaboration, and enhance independent
learning. Differences in the perceived benefit of the digital tools by demographic
variables such as sex were also revealed although all of them were not statistically
significant. The research illuminates how pedagogy can be facilitated using
technology and learning enriched so as to make Home Economics more realistic
and practical. The research offers valuable recommendations to teachers who
would like their teaching method to be facilitated as well as other researchers who
conduct research on the use of technological innovations in teaching skills. With

the capacity to utilize the right digital tools, Home Economics instruction can
provide valuable life skills to the students to be used effectively. The research

gather the experiences and perceptions of the students. Findings revealed that the
majority of the students perceive digital technologies as efficient tools for learning
that improve understanding, facilitate collaboration, and improve independent
learning. Furthermore, differences in the perceived effectiveness of the digital tools
by demographic variables such as sex were revealed, but not all of them were
statistically significant.
The results emphasize how pedagogy is enhanced through technology and
learning is made more holistic to make Home Economics more practical and
realistic. The study offers useful recommendations to educators who want their
teaching procedures enhanced as well as other researchers carrying out research
on the use of technological innovations towards the learning of skills. With the right
digital resources, teaching Home Economics can transfer learners with real-life
skills for effective application.
