About Me
alternative

My name is Adedayo Olayinka Theodorio. I am a highly articulate young scholar, who strongly desires to learn and contribute to knowledge development. My interests encompass higher education, teaching, technology integration, technological pedagogical content knowledge, and knowledge development. With a solid foundation in qualitative research methods, I have significantly contributed to understanding educational equity, innovative teaching strategies, and incorporating technology in educational settings. Over the past ten years, my research has been motivated by a deep passion for ensuring that education is accessible and effective for all students, regardless of their backgrounds. My work, widely published in academic journals and presented at international conferences, has received acclaim for its profound impact on educational policy and practice.
