Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether the e-learning educational atmosphere and technology integration significantly influence the students’ engagement. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design with 127 fourth-year college students from Davao del Norte, Philippines selected through universal sampling. The study used three adapted questionnaires to gather data, and statistical tools such as mean, Pearson r, standard deviation, and regression analysis were utilized. The e-learning educational atmosphere on students in terms of programme effectiveness, teaching quality, ethics and professionalism, learner support, safety and convenience, and awareness of the rules is much observed. Students’ engagement, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitude toward integrating are much evident. Students’ engagement in terms of affective, behavioral, and cognitive are much manifested. The findings also revealed that the e-learning educational atmosphere has a significant relationship and influence on students’ engagement. On the other hand, technology integration has a significant relationship and influence on students’ engagement. The study highlights the importance of creating a safe and convenient e-learning environment and promoting the use of technology in enhancing students’ engagement. The study’s limitations include the sample size and the context-specific findings. The results imply the need for instructors, school administrators, and CHED officials to collaborate and establish programs that promote students’ engagement through e-learning and technology integration.
Keywords: E-learning educational atmosphere, Technology Integration, Students’ engagement
