Assessing the Impact of Technology Integration on Intermediate Learners’ Attention Span

This study investigated the impact of technology integration on the attention span of intermediate learners at Blingkong Central Elementary School, addressing a gap in understanding its cognitive effects within Philippine basic education. Using a descriptive-correlational quantitative approach, data were collected from 39 students and 20 teachers through validated questionnaires. Statistical analysis included frequencies, means, percentages, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results revealed moderate positive correlations between technology use and learners’ attention spans in behavioral (r = 0.42, p < 0.01), cognitive (r = 0.36, p < 0.05), and academic (r = 0.38, p < 0.05) domains. These findings suggest that while technology can enhance focus and engagement, its effectiveness depends on strategic implementation and teacher facilitation. The study highlights the importance of learner-centered digital integration to foster sustained attention and improved academic outcomes.
