The study sought to examine the extent to which the application of CBC pedagogy influences the quality implementation of competency based curriculum in Mbooni East Sub-County, Makueni County. This study was guided by the Curriculum Implementation Theory and the Technology, Pedagogy and Content (TPACK) Model. The theory postulates that the success of any education programme is determined by the management of the support facilities, the teacher’s ability and the clarity of the implementer. The model underscores the role of Information Communication Technology and content mastery in the implementation of any new educational programme. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and targets to collect data from a sample size of 77 respondents who will include the head teachers, the grade one teachers and the curriculum support officers from Mbooni East Sub-County, Makueni County using random sampling and census sampling techniques. A pilot study was done using 11 respondents from non-participating schools in the neighbouring Mwala sub-county. The questionnaire was the main research instrument but other instruments were an interview guide and an observation checklist. The researcher supervisors, who are subject experts, were used to check the validity of the research instruments while test-retest technique was used to ascertain the reliability of the questionnaire. The researcher personally collected data using the drop-and-pick method for questionnaires, conducted interviews to key informants and also filled the observation checklist. Data was analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically along the specific objectives and presented in narrative forms whereas the quantitative data was analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages with the help of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 23) and presented using tables, charts and graphs. The study recommended that Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) should prepare soft copies of schemes of work and lesson plans for teachers in order to ease the burden. Secondly, the government should purchase more computers in schools for successful integration of technology in CBC program due to increasing population in schools. The purchasing of teaching and learning resources should also be prioritized especially for practical work and preparation of teaching aids for teachers.
