Abstract:

The goal of this research is to better understand how technology integration affects educational fairness and access by exploring the opportunities and problems associated with it in varied learning environments. This study used a mixed-method approach, utilizing both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to investigate the viewpoints, challenges, and encounters of educators, administrators, and students in Nagpayong, Ilugin, and Pinagbuhatan schools. The study looks into three main areas: how pupils use technology in relation to perceived hurdles, how sociocultural variables shape technology-related behaviors, and how well strategies are working to close the digital divide. To determine the importance of these variables, hypotheses are developed, and statistical analysis provides information on technology accessibility, usage trends, and attitudes in the context of education. In order to achieve inclusive learning experiences and equal access to educational resources in the digital era, the project intends to provide useful insights to guide pedagogical practices and policy actions through the triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data.
