Rossana Salanio | Geraldine Rodriguez

Discipline: Computer Science

 

Abstract:

This study assessed the ICT competencies of 216 basic education teachers from Katangawan District Schools. The variables of the study were the level of ICT competencies of the respondent-teachers and the intervention program. Frequency count, percentage, rank, and weighted mean were used in analyzing the gathered data.. The existing ICT competency programs of schools were well-equipped with the necessary infrastructure, productivity tools, internet connectivity, and relevant training conducted. Based on the findings of the study, it is concluded that the teachers of the different schools in Katangawan District Schools perceived themselves to be moderately but sufficiently ICT competent. The researcher recommended periodical conduct of training and workshops and conduct of competency testing and assessment of ICT competencies between and among the schools in Katangawan District. This study promotes effective integration of technology in education for improved student learning outcomes.
