This literature review explores the
extent of integrating educational technology in
contemporary classroom environment among the
ASEAN Member States focusing more on the
undeveloped and developing countries. It describes
the profile of the countries under study in terms of the
total population, gross national income (GNI),
literacy rating and ICT development index (IDI) and
to determine the barriers for educational technology
integration; and test the correlation among the profile
variables. Results showed that some of the identified
probable causes of educational technology integration
in most developing countries are: inadequate
financial support and infrastructure, human capital,
management support, as well as behavioural and
environmental aspects. Gross National income is
considered a factor that can directly or indirectly
influence the Literacy rating and ICT Development
Index value of the country while the total population
based on ranking of countries has nothing to do with
the ranking of GNI, Literacy Rating and IDI value of
each country.
