Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study the use of digital technology for learning in COVID-19 pandemic and endemic periods for teachers. The sample consisted of 379 teachers under the Office of Basic Education Commission in Nakhon Phanom, Sakon Nakhon, Bueng Kan, and Mukdahan provinces. The sample size was determined using Krejcie & Morgan's table, and the participants were selected through multi-stage random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire on digital technology usage. The statistical methods employed for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The findings revealed that teachers' level of digital technology usage for learning management was higher in the endemic period ( = 4.03, S.D.=0.90) compared to the pandemic period (
= 3.93, S.D.=1.05). The groups of digital technologies that experienced increased usage included websites and applications for creating and presenting content, creating, and developing content, and web-based tools. On the other hand, the groups of technologies that saw decreased usage were websites and applications for communication and collaboration, and online learning platforms.
