المستخلص: this research addressed the continuing problem of inadequate technology use in private and public schools in the primary education sector in Saudi Arabia. An explanatory sequential design was used to correspond to the exploratory nature of the research. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to a sample chosen using stratified sampling. Data were then analysed through Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). The findings were categorised into themes, which were explored further through qualitative semi-structured interviews. Results from the questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were compared and synthesised with the literature. The majority of teachers claimed to use technology frequently and expressed positive perspectives of technology in education. They affirmed that the most popular types of technology used were programs such as Microsoft Office. The findings emphasised the need for training and technical support teams to facilitate the use of technology and to enhance the teachers' abilities to use different programs/devices/software. The research yielded important findings, particularly concerning the teachers' perspectives, which reduced the validity of theories that consider culture a hindrance to the acceptance of technology in education. However, the research was not without its limitations, such as sample representativeness and question design. Therefore, recommendations were made for future research, including using a more appropriate sample and exploring the perceptions of parents.
