Exploring the Influence of Teacher-Student Relationships, Technology Integration, and Classroom Environment on Student Engagement in Mathematics

This study examines the factors influencing student engagement in mathematics, with particular emphasis on teacher–student relationships, classroom technology integration, and the classroom environment within a Philippine educational context. Data were gathered through student surveys and analyzed using regression techniques to determine the influence of each factor on mathematics engagement. The findings indicate that positive teacher–student relationships significantly enhance student engagement, as supportive, trusting, and communicative interactions encourage students’ active participation in learning. Classroom technology integration also shows a meaningful positive influence, as the effective use of digital tools increases students’ interest, motivation, and involvement in mathematics lessons. Among the factors examined, the classroom environment emerges as the strongest predictor of student engagement, highlighting the importance of a supportive, organized, inclusive, and stimulating learning atmosphere. Overall, the results underscore the critical role of nurturing strong teacher–student relationships, implementing technology meaningfully, and cultivating positive classroom environments in promoting student engagement in mathematics, which may ultimately contribute to improved learning outcomes and sustained interest in the subject.
