Abstract
This research employed an exploratory sequential design to examine dimensions of adaptive technological transition for Indigenous students. Findings underscore technology's role in learning, emphasizing cultural relevance and equitable opportunities for enhanced educational experiences. Seventeen respondents were purposively chosen, with ten participating in in-depth interviews and seven in focus group discussions. Additionally, three hundred participants underwent random selection for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Thematic analysis revealed seven key themes, encompassing technology's role for IP’s learning, significance of technology, technology-enhanced learning, IP learning transformation, access & connectivity challenges, cultural enrichment technology, educational technology empowerment. EFA identified five dimensions: Tech-Culture Learning, Digitalized Learning Environments, Technological Equity in Learning, Culturally Inclusive Technology, and Technological Learning Diversity. This highlights the imperative integration of culturally sensitive technology solutions for Indigenous communities. The final instrument, exhibiting high reliability (97.3%), comprises 58 items across five dimensions, ensuring face validity. In conclusion, technology's impact on Indigenous students necessitates prioritizing accessibility, cultural relevance, and equitable opportunities.
