About the Journal

IJTASE is a cutting-edge, peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing rigorous, relevant, and interdisciplinary research at the nexus of technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and STEM education. Guided by the merged themes of Teknolohiya at Talino (Technology and Intelligence) and Liknayan (Science), this journal situates itself in the vibrant space where innovation meets education, policy, and community development, especially within the unique contexts of developing nations like the Philippines and across the Asia-Pacific.

As rapid technological advancements reshape how societies learn, work, and live, there is an urgent need to examine how these shifts affect educational systems, social equity, and sustainable development. TechneX answers this call by providing an intellectual home for scholars, practitioners, industry leaders, and policy-makers who are committed to reimagining STEM and technology education that is inclusive, adaptive, and globally relevant.
