Abstract
This study underscores the significant influence of technology effectiveness, social norms, and opportunities on higher education outcomes in Myanmar. Leveraging theoretical frameworks such as Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory and the Technological Acceptance Model, the research demonstrates how these factors positively impact self-competencies, accessibility, and awareness within the educational landscape. Despite the study’s limitations in sample size and geographic scope, it provides valuable insights into the transformative potential of education and technology integration, highlighting the need for further research to address these limitations and advance understanding on a global scale. Ultimately, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on equitable access to education and informs the development of strategies to foster inclusive educational environments worldwide.
