Abstract
-
Teachers' use of technology in mathematics instruction strengthens students'
academic motivation and self-efficacy in mathematics learning. This study examined the
extent of teachers' technology use, students' academic motivation, and the mediating role
of self-efficacy. It was conducted in a private higher education institution in Ozamiz City.
Using an explanatory-correlational design with mediation analysis, data were collected
from 197 college students via stratified and simple random sampling within each stratum.
Data were collected using researcher-developed questionnaires and analyzed using Mean,
Standard Deviations, Spearman's Rank-Order Correlation, Stepwise Multiple Regression,
and General Linear Mediation Analysis. Results revealed that teachers' technology use was
practiced to a very great extent, while students demonstrated high self-efficacy and very
high academic motivation. Significant relationships were found among teachers'
technology use, students' academic motivation, and self-efficacy. The application of
mathematics across different contexts, instructional use of technology, and perseverance
in mathematics tasks significantly predicted students' academic motivation. Moreover,
students' self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between teachers' technology use
and academic motivation. Purposeful technology integration in mathematics instruction
strengthens students' motivation and confidence. Mathematics teachers may continue
integrating interactive digital tools in their lessons to enhance student’s engagement and
understanding.
