Abstract

In the context of contemporary digital education, the use of Phyphox software to turn smartphones into physics experiment equipment opens new opportunities for physics education in Vietnam, yet there are many challenges and opportunities to be explored. This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing the integration of this technology into teaching through a survey of 48 physics teachers nationwide using an online questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. Results show that teachers are confident and willing to adopt new technology, recognizing the positive impact of the software on educational quality and student engagement. However, they face difficulties integrating the software into lessons and lack support from resources and school leadership. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating technology into education and provides a basis for developing more effective teacher support strategies. This research contributes to the theoretical foundation on software use in education and aids policy makers, educational managers, and software developers in shaping strategies to optimize technology use in education, enhancing educational quality and preparing students with the necessary skills for the digital era.
