The cost of technology integration on Filipino families with children enrolled in public schools

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

One of the characteristics of a 21st-century learner is being technologically adept. Technology has a signifcant contribution to modern-day education in the heyday of learning management systems (LMS) and massive open online courses (MOOCs).
The integration of technology in education aims to help learners adapt to the fast-changing world that relies on information systems and information technology. Further, being adept at technology fosters lifelong learning skills since information can now be easily stored, read, and learned through the world wide web. In the Philippines, the education system is adapting to technology, with teachers adapting to technology and using LMS as an extension to their classes. However, using LMS entails additional fnancial costs to teachers and students alike. This paper investigates the cost of adapting technology for public school students by analyzing the income of a family in the regular working class vis-a-vis the cost of technology used for optimal LMS use for students. The research will aid in decision making on full implementation of technology in education for the Philippines and other developing countries with a similar situation.
