Teachers are forefront of students’ educational experiences that provide students guidance and technical skills they need to become productive. In the advent of technology, teachers must have to deliver classroom instruction incorporating the use of technology available in their community to help students learn. This study examined the technology used by teachers and their perceptions on the effectiveness of using them in the classroom. Questionnaire were developed and administered to eighteen (18) grade 10 mathematics teachers of the Department of Education specifically in the municipality of Lebak and Kalamansig of Sultan Kudarat. The researchers used a modified questionnaire and the collected data was analyzed using frequency, percentage and the mean. Based on the findings, most mathematics teachers are not knowledgeable on technological know-hows but have a positive perception towards technology integration in their mathematics classroom. The results also indicate that teachers strongly agree that technology integration is the important tool in enhancing teaching and learning process. Most teachers in this study strongly agreed that their students learn more effectively with the use of technology as lessons designed more engaging and interesting. It is also found that teachers have a positive perception towards the effectiveness of technology integration in a mathematics classroom. Further researches may focus on actual use of technology in classroom, the factors hindering teachers from incorporating technology in instructions, as well as the support given by the government and other stakeholders to teachers in trying to integrate technology in the teaching and learning process.
