Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has impacted the educational sector, thus providing an array of digital technologies, which have become effective, efficient, and innovative media for transmitting knowledge and skills in contemporary times. The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of technology teachers on the use of augmented reality when teaching graphic communication and graphic techniques. This study used a qualitative research approach using semi-structured and observation as data sources. It purposively sampled five teachers who were interested in the use of augmented reality to teach, as such, TPACK was used as its framework. The findings revealed that technology teachers, to a great extent, cannot integrate augmented reality tools during the teaching and learning of graphical communication and graphic techniques. This chapter recommends that the Department of Education should create more opportunities that will expose teachers to these technological advances that are substantive to graphical communication and graphic techniques of learning.
