Abstract
This study examines the relationship between access to and utilization of educational technology and the science performance of Junior High School students in the new normal educational setup. Utilizing a quantitative survey-correlational research design, data were gathered from 198 Grade 10 Science students at a public high school in Capiz during the school year 2022–2023. Results revealed that students had moderate access to and utilization of educational technology, hindered by limited device availability, poor internet connectivity, and restricted access to digital platforms. Despite these challenges, students achieved a “Very Satisfactory” level in science performance, highlighting the critical role of teacher training, curriculum integration, and infrastructure support in enhancing outcomes. This study underscores the need for equitable access to technology, comprehensive teacher training, and infrastructure development to bridge the digital divide and optimize the educational potential of technology in science education.
