This qualitative case study provided insight into college students' experiences with critical thinking and technology integration in course delivery. Adapting to changes in adding higher order thinking skills and technology into class structure, administrators may need to modify existing curriculum to incorporate concentration on 21st century skills. The integration of innovative methods encourages the use of supportive technologies to assist educators in addressing creative lessons. The primary research question sought to determine the extent to which analytical skills and technical knowledge were perceived to be important to adult learners. Fifteen participants from the student body were enrolled in undergraduate programs in a two-year college. Data sources included responses from interviews and document review of transcribed information. Analysis methods for this study were the use of coding and categorization of ideas and themes. The themes include an anticipation of value from higher education, challenges with motivation while continuing education, and an expression of an imperative need for competent educators, and support of further expansion of computer knowledge, uncertainty of the initiation of critical thinking in daily lessons, a support of curriculum modification to encourage critical thinking using technology, and an individual benefit when employers, administrators, and educators work to integrate workplace skills in lessons. Results of the study are significant to educational leaders responsible for curriculum development because they identify areas where the expansion of learning can enhance marketable skills like problem-solving and technical aptitude. Research findings may lead to a consideration by institutions to enhance pedagogical practices. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
