The Perceived Influence of Interactive Teaching Method and The Technological Integration on Student Engagement of Junior High School in English Subject

This study examines the level of interactive teaching method and technological integration and their influence on student engagement in English education among junior high school students at St. Peter's College of Toril Inc. for the school year 2023-2024. It seeks to determine the correlation between teachers' interactive teaching method and student engagement, as well as the correlation between technological integration and student engagement. Finally, the study aims to identify which variable, interactive teaching method or technological integration, significantly influences student engagement. The study employed a quantitative research design, specifically a descriptive correlational design, and analysis methods such as mean score, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, and regression analysis to determine if there is a significant correlation between teachers' interactive teaching methods and students' engagement levels, as well as investigate the influence of technological integration on student engagement. Findings revealed that interactive teaching methods and technology integration significantly enhance student engagement. Based on the study's findings, it is recommended that educators and schools focus on enhancing student participation and empowerment. High performance in promoting active participation was noted, while improvement is needed in encouraging group project participation. Schools should implement dynamic, collaborative activities and personalized learning experiences. Using the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) can help future researchers evaluate and optimize technology use in teaching. School administrators should provide engaging technological tools and ongoing teacher training. Emphasizing timely task completion and fostering classroom connections can further enhance engagement. Correlation analysis shows a positive relationship between interactive teaching methods, technological integration, and student engagement, highlighting the importance. Schools should prioritize interactive teaching strategies and integrate technology, supported by professional development, to create engaging learning environments that boost student success.
