The purpose of this research study was to investigate the influence of technological skills on the implementation of competence based curriculum in Kalawa Zone, Makueni County. The study was guided by the ‘Visible Learning Theory’ by John Hattie (2012), who observes globally that fundamental changes in education systems has important implications for curriculum reforms. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The study targeted all the 15 ECDE Teachers, the lower primary teachers and all the head teachers within Kalawa zone in Makueni County. Head teachers were also included. CSO’s office gave the necessary needed raw data. The researcher purposively sampled two ECDE Centres and two head teachers within the zone. Simple random sampling was used to select the specific number of children in each selected ECDE Centre Research instruments included questionnaire forms, interviews and observation checklist. Piloting was done in two schools outside Kalawa zone in Waia Zone in Kisau Ward. Their responses were analyzed to determine if they meet the objectives and research questions of the study. Data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences [SPSS] Version 24 software. Descriptive statistics were worked out and presented using frequencies, percentages and tables. Frequency distribution tables were also used. The study established that influence of technological skills influence implementation of competence based curriculum as a strategy for enhancing ECDE learners’ acquisition competencies. However, most ECDE teachers lack pre-requisite ICT training, inadequate facilities, negative attitude towards integration of ICT and minimal school management support which has negatively impacted on implementation of competence based curriculum in ECDE centers. The study thus recommends that the training for ECDE teachers should incorporate technological aspects to enable them integrate ICT in teaching.
