Abstract

This study investigated the use of technology-integrated strategies among junior high school mathematics teachers in one of the National High Schools in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija. It examined the frequency and types of digital tools employed, the perceived benefits and challenges of using these tools, and the differences in implementation based on demographic characteristics. A descriptive-quantitative research design was employed using a validated 50-item survey questionnaire. Data from five junior high school mathematics teachers revealed that technology tools such as PowerPoint, GeoGebra, Google Classroom, and video-based instruction are commonly used. Teachers strongly agreed on the benefits of technology in enhancing student engagement and improving teaching efficiency. However, issues such as limited access to internet, lack of devices, and insufficient training were also identified. The findings provide insights into improving technology integration in mathematics instruction in the 21st century.
