Abstract
Early childhood numeracy forms a critical foundation for long-term academic achievement, yet integrating technology effectively to foster intrinsic motivation remains a pedagogical challenge. This study evaluated the implementation of technology-aided teaching approaches in mathematics among Kindergarten teachers and examined its relationship with perceived learners' learning motivation in Ramon District, Isabela, Philippines. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design, empirical data were gathered from Kindergarten teachers via validated structured questionnaires evaluating participant profiles, four technology-aided approaches (play-based learning, math stations and centers, visual aids and manipulatives, and songs and rhymes), and four motivational dimensions (providing choice, stories and characters, real-life contexts, and celebrating successes). Results indicated that technology-aided approaches were moderately evident overall (), with visual aids and manipulatives rated highest (). Perceived learner motivation was highly evident (), driven predominantly by celebrating successes (). Significant differences in technology utilization emerged across educational attainment () and training frequency (). Crucially, a strong positive correlation was established between technology-aided instruction and learner motivation (). These findings underscore the imperative of continuous professional development and strategic infrastructure support in optimizing digital early childhood mathematics pedagogy.
