Abstract

Quality education equips a child with the needed knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values for the betterment of self and other members of society. This paper sought to explore, review, and make recommendations for using innovative 21st-century pedagogical approaches to curriculum teaching and training. Quality teaching and human resource training require the adequate provision of resources through a steady supply of finances. This survey review aims to improve the lecturers' pedagogical curriculum skills to uncover some of the underlying challenges facing university teaching staff and propose the way forward. Further suggestions and recommendations include help in resource provision which will facilitate lecturers in their pedagogical undertaking in preparing learners to implement the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), which emphasizes digital literacy in Kenya. The outcome may provide some pedagogical insights into the dynamic curriculum. Suggestions should be adopted to address the prevailing challenges and ensure the provision of quality higher education in teaching, training, and preparing human resources.
