The findings revealed that digital transformation has been effectively adopted in secondaryschools, with an overall WAM of 3.91. Teachers demonstrated a high level of pedagogicaladaptation (WAM = 4.09), indicating successful integration of technology into classroominstruction. The study also found that psychological and behavioural factors influenceteachers’ adaptation to digital technologies (WAM = 3.77). The results also indicated thatdigital technology integration positively influences teaching effectiveness and classroominnovation (WAM = 4.03), enhancing classroom communication, student engagement, and learning outcomes.
