Technology INTRODUCTION In education, the learning process is a process in which a person deliberately manages his environment to enable him to participate in certain behavior(Yang et al.
So with this activity, it can cause a good response to this behavior.
Here it can be understood that the person who has the role of controlling this behavior is a teacher(Kraft et al.

, 2.
Because in the world of education, students and teachers are very closely related in the communication process at school in learning, teachers as teachers andstudents as students who are ready to be taught according to the applicable (Toropova et al.
, 2.
As time goes by, today's life is greatly influenced by technological sophistication which continues to change and develop.
Therefore, many new theories are used in the learning process which are useful for providing convenience in learning(Yun et al.
As an example of the convenience of the impact of technology integration in learning, learning is not only done in the classroom, but with technology, the learning process can be done anywhere and at any time if you want to learn.
(Hair & Alamer, 2.
As long as the use of technology in learning is used well, students will gain broader knowledge about what they don't know about something(Ray et al.
, 2.
The integration of technology in learning also has a goalimprove the quality, accessibility and effectiveness of learning provided to students(Garcia-Alonso et al.
, 2.
In this case, teachers have an important role in integrating technology in the classroom.
Because to integrate technology in learning, a teacher's skills in applying learning technology are very important, and they must be trained to improve their skills(Succi & Canovi, 2.
If a teacher does not understand the use of technology in learning, of course integrating technology into learning will also experience obstacles, so that student involvement in the learning process is reduced.
(Chan, 2.
Learning technology can aid the learning process, but it also requires careful implementation and support.
The impact of integrating this technology in learning provides many benefits for students(Allam & Jones, 2.
Students can use the internet as a broad and reliable reference source to get the latest and in-depth information about the subjects they study(H.
Li et al.
, 2.
Apart from that, technology also offers a variety of learning resources.
Apart from that, if teachers have problems entering class, teachers can also provide lessons and assignments to students.
Teachers can use e-books, learning applications, or online learning platforms to help students choose and access learning resources that suit their needs and needs.
their learning style(Demery et , 2.
Technology integration in learning can be interpreted as internet-based learning.
Apart from face-to-face learning, distance learning can also be carried out (Duval et al.
, 2.
The use of virtual platforms, video conferencing, and other online communication tools makes distance learning easier and more effective, so students can stay engaged in the learning process and stay connected with their teachers and classmates.
(Richardson et al.
, 2.
Additionally, the integration of learning technology has the potential to increase students' desire to learn.
By using interesting media and technology, such as videos, animations, or interactive games, technology can make learning more interesting and fun for students(Han et al.
, 2.
Although the integration of learning technology provides easy access for both students and teachers, pIt is also important for educators and educational institutions to understand the negative effects that may arise from the use of technology(Chinazzi et al.
, 2.
To be able to overcome these problems, teaching staff can provide students with a deeper understanding and awareness of how to use technology wisely and responsibly(S.
Li et al.
, 2.
Teachers must teach students how to use technology healthily and effectively.
Teachers should also inform students about the importance of aligning technology use with other physical, social, and mental activities(Yao et al.
The goal of educators or teachers to overcome negative things in the integration of learning technology is to help improve the quality of learning well(Breijyeh et al.
, 2.
Basically, the integration of learning technology can be an effective tool for preparing students to face challenges JETE | Vol.

The Impact of Technology Integration in Learning on Increasing Student Engagement | Research Papers if used wisely(Wessel et al.
, 2.
However, if the use of technology in learning leads students to negative things, students will also easily tend to become lazy in learning, because they only use technology to play so that is the main focus.
(Galperin et al.
, 2.
In this way, the objectives of the learning process are not achieved.
Based on the explanation of the research above, researchers think that the impact of technology integration in learning is very effective in increasing student involvement in learning.
This could be due to the influence of the increasing development of globalization in technological This research also aims to look at the advantages and disadvantages of the impact of integrating learning technology on increasing student engagement in learning.
And researchers also haveAIt is hoped that future researchers will research the impact of the integration of learning technology on increasing student engagement in learning in more depth and develop research to obtain maximum results.

The Impact of Technology Integration in Learning on Increasing Student Engagement | Research Papers DISCUSSION The Impact of Learning Technology Integration on Increasing Student Engagement The impact of integrating learning technology on increasing student engagement also has several benefits for learning.
One of the benefits of the impact of technology integrationLearning can make the learning process more creative and fun(Casaly et al.
, 2.
To improve students' learning experiences and increase students' understanding of learning materials and concepts, teachers can use various types of media, such as videos, animations, or interactive games(Thyry et , 2.
By using learning technology, students can more easily understand and internalize the information provided by the teacher.
The integration of learning technology also makes learning easier without time or space limitations(Tomasello, 2.
Another benefit of integrating learning technology is that it canfacilitate the entire learning process, from preparation to implementation of learning(Sarwar et al.
, 2.
Using various learning tools and media supported by technology, as well as carrying out evaluations quickly and accurately, this can enable teachers to be more efficient in compiling lesson material(Shao et al.
Apart from that, it can also help educators optimize time and resources to achieve learning goals(Gunantara, 2.
The impact of integrating learning technology can help online-based learning, by providing various tools and platforms that support interaction between teachers and students virtually.
Even though the benefits of integrating technology have many impacts on the continuity of learning, the negative impacts of this learning technology cannot be avoided.
Like the use of technologyToo much can harm students' health, especially the eyes and other body parts such as the back(Pan et al.
, 2.
Eyestrain, muscle tension, and posture problems caused by prolonged interactions with computer screens or digital devices can have a negative impact on students' longterm health.
(Buda et al.
, 2.
Students also often experience difficulty in distinguishing relevant and accurate information from sources that are unreliable or do not match learning objectives.
Increasing student laziness is also another bad negative effect.
Students may not be motivated to do good research or assignments, because technology makes access to information and resources easy(Sakhavi et al.
, 2.
Students may tend to rely on copies and unoriginal sources of information, without developing critical thinking or existing skills within the students themselves.
The impact of integrating learning technology can also make it difficult for teachers to distinguish original student work.
Students can easily copy or plagiarize content or work from other sources in an increasingly connected digital world(Kellogg et al.
, 2.
This can make it difficult for teachers to determine whether a student's work is original or the result of plagiarism.
The role of teachers in the current era of modern technology must be able to master and utilize technology to design innovative and creative learning, because students today are a generation that grew up amidst technological developments and are already familiar with (Vu et al.
, 2.
This shows that the role of teachers, who are an important component in the world of education, must continue to improve their abilities to be ready to face advances in educational technology.
A teacher must be able to guide and direct students in using learning technology, by explaining well and correctly the positive and negative impacts of using learning (Krantz et al.
, 2.
And can provide an understanding of the consequences that can arise from using technology if it is used in the wrong way.
Therefore, in the current digital era, teachers must have the ability to increase scientific competence in changing conventional learning patterns and improving and maintaining students' attitudes and behavior.
(Caena & Redecker, 2.
In addition, teachers must be aware of the increasingly rapid development of technology, which means they must know the benefits and JETE | Vol.

The Impact of Technology Integration in Learning on Increasing Student Engagement | Research Papers negative effects of the impact of integrating learning technology(Thangaramya et al.
, 2.
teacher must also be able to produce scientific works, books and innovative discoveries based on skills that are able to compete globally in the digital era, have the characteristics of a technologyoriented society, which influences the vision, mission and goals of education, because the impact of technology integration will influence perspectives and people's lifestyles.
CONCLUSION
Education is now a primary need for everyone, so it is very important to increase the potential of quality human resources.
Education is also important in building national civilization and is important for preserving the values of community life.
The education system is always changing and developing according to educational goals.
Especially in today's increasingly advanced technological developments and integration.
With this progress, education must also become more advanced so that it is easily accessible to everyone.
The progress and impact of technology integration has an impact on education and directly influences the learning process.
In the current era of computers and the internet, teachers must have the ability and skills to create and implement high-quality learning methods that depend on educational technology that can improve the quality of students.
A professional teacher must not only provide information.
they must also be able to help, encourage, and guide students.
So that the motivation within students becomes high and student involvement indirectly continues to increase.
