UNFOLDING the Technology Integration in Classroom Instruction: A Multiple Case STUDY

Abstract

This study explored the status and perspectives on technology integration in classrooms across the five Mindanao campuses of the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) System using a multiple-case study approach. Data were gathered from academic unit heads, teachers, parents, and students. Using an interview guide, IDIs and FGDs were conducted among the case units. Results were analyzed using cross-case, thematic, and sentiment analysis. Six essential themes emerged regarding the navigation of technology integration, while six themes emerged regarding participants’ views. Sentiment analysis using the VADER tool revealed that while participants valued technology for enhancing teaching and learning, they expressed negative sentiments regarding the misuse of AI, slow internet connections, and outdated hardware. The study concludes that addressing infrastructure gaps, providing continuous professional development, and promoting ethical use of technology are critical to maximizing learning outcomes.
