<![CDATA[Digital transformation is increasingly influencing biology education by supporting interactive and student-centered learning. This study investigated the utilization of digital technologies in biology teaching, their contribution to student engagement, and the barriers affecting their adoption. A quantitative descriptive survey design was employed involving 97 respondents, consisting of 17 biology teachers and 80 students. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics and One-Way ANOVA. The findings revealed that 3D molecular modeling and anatomical visualization software were the most frequently utilized digital tools (Mean = 3.44), while virtual laboratories (Mean = 1.62) and Learning Management Systems (Mean = 1.66) were the least utilized. Digital integration promoted engagement in real-world problem solving (Mean = 3.37), multimedia-supported learning (Mean = 3.34), and independent learning (Mean = 3.32). Major barriers included inconsistent electricity supply (Mean = 3.42), inadequate funding (Mean = 3.34), and rigid curriculum requirements (Mean = 3.30). Significant differences were found in digital tool utilization (p = .043) and adoption barriers (p = .019). The study concludes that digital technologies can enhance biology education when supported by adequate infrastructure and institutional commitment.]]>
