Qualitative approach is considered to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. Findings reveal valuable insights into students' preferences, motivation, and engagement with digital learning resources in Home Economics. The review explores factors influencing students' acceptance and resistance to adopt these technological tools in their learning journey. Furthermore, the analysis identifies potential challenges and benefits of integrating educational apps and online platforms in Home Economics education.
