The research focused on the patterns of digital media use—including educational apps, social media, and entertainment websites—alongside students’ self-reported online behaviors and learn-ing outcomes, as well as teachers’ perceptions of digital media integration in the classroom. Results revealed that both students and teachers recognized educational apps as effective learning tools (mean = 3.8), and social media was seen as a helpful communication medium (mean = 3.5). However, entertainment websites were perceived as having limited educational value (mean = 2.9). Students reported high engagement with social media (mean = 4.1), while engagement in online gaming and exposure to inappropriate con-tent varied. Teachers expressed a neutral stance on risk management (mean = 3.2) but agreed that digital media supports academic challenges (mean = 3.9). Students reported improved understanding (mean = 4.5) and increased motivation to learn (mean = 3.7), culminating in a positive aggregate learning outcome (mean = 4.1). The findings underscore the importance of integrating digital media in education to enhance learning, while also highlighting the need for teacher training and responsible digital behavior guide-lines. The study recommends targeted professional development, strategic digital media integration, and further research into its differentiated impact across student groups.
