The Influence of Technology Integration on the Academic Performance of Upper Primary Education Learners in Mathematics

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of technology integration on the academic performance of upper primary learners (Grades 4-6) in mathematics at Magsaysay Elementary School in Bohol, Philippines.  The research employed a descriptive method. The findings revealed that while students initially struggled with competencies related to geometry and probability, the integration of Interactive PowerPoint and offline videos significantly improved their post-test scores across all assessed competencies. The study concluded that technology integration, specifically using these digital tools, significantly enhances the academic performance of upper primary learners in mathematics.  The research recommends that Magsaysay Elementary School and similar institutions invest in comprehensive professional development programs for teachers to enhance their proficiency in integrating technology into their teaching practices.  The study highlights the crucial role of technology in modern education and underscores the need for ongoing professional development for teachers to effectively leverage these resources.  Adopting these recommendations, schools can better harness the potential of technology to improve educational outcomes and equip students with the skills necessary for academic success.
