Abstract:

The main thrust of the study was to determine the teachers’ technology-based teaching practices in terms of instructional planning, instructional delivery, classroom management, teacher-learner interaction, subject content, evaluation, and professional responsibility in relation to teachers’ competence and work values in the Province of Bohol during the School Year 2021-2022. Further, this study sought to determine the significant relationship among variables. The study utilized the descriptive-correlational research design with the aid of online survey questionnaires to gather the needed data. It was conducted among the 24 public central elementary schools in the Division of Bohol with six hundred sixty-one (661) teachers. The gathered data were treated using the percentage formula and weighted mean. The significant relationships were computed using the Chi-square and Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient. The results of the study revealed that teachers highly practiced technology based teaching and using technology-based tools/equipment in teaching. In addition, it was found out that there was a significant relationship between the teachers’ implementation of technology-based teaching practices, teachers’ competence and work values. The researcher concluded that the elementary school teachers in public schools of Province of Bohol generally highly implemented the technology-based teaching practices and considered to be highly competent in using technologybased resources in teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, practicing technology-based teaching play a significant role towards honing teachers’ competence and work values that contribute to innovation in education and professional development. Hence, it is recommended that the Department of Education may provide more technology-based equipment/resources for each school such as laptops and desktop computers to better enhance the teachers’ level of implementation of technology-based teaching practices and their teaching competence. Administrators may conduct school-based/district-based technology-based teaching practices trainings and encourage them to undergo massive open online courses/face-to-face to enhance the student learning and will be aware about modern trends and innovation in education.
