Factors influencing high school teachers’ use of ICT in teaching mathematics: Insights from Northern Vietnam

This paper investigates the factors influencing the extent of information and communication technology (ICT) usage in teaching mathematics at high schools. Using exploratory factor analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis on survey data from 204 Vietnamese teachers, the study identifies three main factors affecting teachers’ use of ICT: ICT skills, motivation, and access to ICT tools at school. Among these, ICT skills have the most significant impact. Additionally, the study reveals no significant difference in the extent of ICT usage among teachers from different regions or with varying levels of experience. However, male teachers tend to use ICT more than female teachers, and teachers with 1 to 5 years of experience exhibit the highest level of ICT usage in their classroom. The research results provide a scientific basis for proposing solutions to enhance teachers’ ICT application skills, thereby improving the quality of mathematics teaching in the current digital transformation context.
