This academic article aims to study the application of technology in developing social studies teaching by integrating the principles of Yoniso Manasikara. Due to the context of the modern world where digital technology plays an important role in life and learning. Social studies learning management needs to be adjusted to be consistent with these changes, especially by integrating Buddhist principles, namely the principle of Yoniso Manasikara, into learning.
