This research aims to find how the infrastructure of digital devices within the school and
teachers’ capacity using digital devices affect student achievement defined as PISA 2018
reading, math, and science scores. The ex post facto co-relational causal research design was
employed. The data were obtained from the school questionnaire administered to school
principals who participated in PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) 2018. A
scale was developed from the PISA 2018 data available on OECD PISA website. To correlate
factor means with PISA 2018 scores, a matrix was constructed by the researcher. To predict
PISA 2018 scores with factor means, linear regression analyses were done. The results
showed that the infrastructure of digital devices within the school affected PISA 2018
reading, math and science scores more than teachers’ capacity using digital devices. It was
also revealed that there was a strong relationship between the infrastructure of digital devices
within the school and teachers’ capacity using digital devices, and developing the
infrastructure of digital technologies could provide practical benefits for students.
