Abstract

This study examines the impact of technology-enhanced professional development (TEPD) on teaching effectiveness among 120 teachers, controlling for variables such as gender, age, class size, experience, prior technology exposure, digital infrastructure, and the technology mode used. The analysis found that while female teachers (M = 42.3, SD = 8.99) had slightly higher mean scores than males (M = 39.1, SD = 6.62), this difference was not statistically significant. No statistically significant differences emerged across age groups, class levels, or years of experience. Access to digital infrastructure and the mode of technology used also showed no significant effect on teachers' perceptions of TEPD effectiveness. These results indicate that TEPD provides similar benefits to teachers regardless of demographic or contextual factors, supporting its broad relevance for improving teaching effectiveness.
