Abstract
The rapid development of technology in recent decades has significantly influenced the field of education, bringing new tools and methods for teaching and learning. This study aims to examine the impact of using educational technology on the academic success of primary and secondary school students. Through a structured questionnaire, data were collected regarding the frequency of technology use, attitudes towards it, and students' academic performance. The collected data were processed and analyzed using the R language, employing statistical methods such as Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall correlations, as well as linear regression analysis. This enabled a deeper understanding of the relationships between the variables involved in the study. Preliminary results indicate a positive correlation between the use of technology and academic performance, particularly when technology is used in a structured and intentional manner during instruction. Furthermore, it was observed that the use of interactive platforms, educational applications, and digital resources contributes to improved student motivation and engagement. Students who use technology to follow lessons, complete homework, or review subjects generally show higher academic outcomes. This study contributes to the ongoing discussion about the role of technology in education and provides practical data that can assist teachers, schools, and educational institutions in determining the most effective ways to integrate technology into the learning process.
