Abstract
The study aimed to explore how elementary teachers adapt their teaching methods and strategies in response to the growing presence of digital tools and platforms. By using a mixed-methods approach, the study seeks to gather both quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing technology adoption, the impact on student learning outcomes, and the professional development needs of educators. The study examined the experiences of elementary school teachers in integrating technology into their classrooms. One major implication is the necessity for culturally responsive digital content. Educational technology must not only align with national standards but also reflect local languages, values, and contexts. This ensures that students feel a personal connection to the material, which enhances engagement and comprehension. Policymakers and edtech developers must work collaboratively with educators to ensure that technological tools are adaptable and inclusive.
