Abstract:

The use of Information and Communications Technology became important especially in the time of pandemic. Through it, schools, teachers, and students relied on its applications to adapt and continue the learning process. However, in order to make it effective students must gain proficiency on the use of ICT. Therefore, this study focused on determining the student’s level of knowledge and degree of competence on the use of Information and Communications Technology variables in Abra de Ilog Cluster, Division of Occidental Mindoro. The study employed the descriptive-correlational research design using the survey questionnaire as the main data-gathering instrument. The researcher utilized stratified random sampling in selecting the respondents which accumulated a total of 204 respondents. Questionnaire were given to them and was administered by the researcher. This study utilized statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, ranking, weighted mean, and Pearson’s r to analyze the data that was retrieved from the respondents. Results indicated that the student’s level of knowledge in Information and Communications Technology were found to a slightly knowledgeable. Moreover, results on the degree of competence on the use of Information and Communications Technology showed moderate competence. The result further indicated that the level of knowledge in ICT has significant negligible association with the degree of competence in using ICT. Furthermore, it was revealed from the findings that students have moderate problem on all the indicators concerning the challenges encountered by the students in utilizing ICT variables except for one indicator which was the lack of interest to learn basic ICT concepts and skills that was interpreted as minor problems.
