Abstract: This study assessed the level of motivation and challenges on the use of educational technology and teaching–learning materials among university students of Bohol Island State University (BISU), Academic Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it examined the respondents’ profiles in terms of age, gender, academic program covered, year level, and familiarity with technology; determined their level of motivation in using educational technology and teaching–learning materials; identified the problems encountered; tested the relationship between respondents’ profiles and motivation level; and proposed an action plan based on the findings. The study employed a descriptive research design using a stratified random sampling technique to select 385 respondents across BISU campuses. Data were collected through survey questionnaires and analyzed using frequency counts, weighted means, and chi-square tests. Results revealed that respondents were mostly 20–29 years old, predominantly female, and moderately to highly familiar with technology. Students reported a high level of motivation when technology and materials provided clear explanations, relatable examples, organized content, and opportunities for application. However, they encountered recurring challenges such as unstable internet connections, limited access to personal devices, and difficulties accessing materials requiring strong connectivity. Statistical analyses further showed no significant association between students’ demographic profile and their level of motivation. Based on the findings, a Strategic Action Plan was formulated to enhance student engagement and address recurring challenges. The plan emphasizes improving internet access, expanding availability of learning devices, strengthening technical support and digital training, and ensuring that teaching–learning materials are updated, organized, and learner-centered. The results of this study contribute to the growing body of knowledge on digital education and provide practical recommendations for academic institutions in fostering meaningful and motivating learning experiences.
