Abstract

The advancement of technology enables young learners to access and use devices that they can use for socialization and the accomplishment of school-related tasks. This study determined the use of technological devices among elementary learners in relation to their academic engagement. It was conducted in a private institution in Ozamiz City during the School Year 2023-2024. The descriptive-correlational design was used in the study. There were 120 Grades 1 to 6 learners and their teachers who served as the respondents selected through total enumeration. The Learners’ Use of Technological Devices Questionnaire and the Learners’ Academic Engagement Questionnaire were the researcher-made instruments used in gathering data. Mean, Standard Deviation and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient were used as statistical tools to analyze the data gathered. Results revealed the great extent of use of technological devices by learner-respondents. They also had a very high level of academic engagement. The extent of use of technological devices was generally not influential to the level of the learners’ academic engagement except on task completion. The use of technological devices has become a core part of the educational journey of young children. However, parents need to set limits on their children’s use of these devices, which may affect how well the young learners accomplish academic-related tasks.
