The Extent of ICT Application in the Teaching and Learning Process: An Evaluation Approach

Dorette Silva

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study aimed to assess the extent of ICT application in the teaching-learning process of private schools within the 2nd Congressional District of Negros Oriental as a basis for enhancing ICT integration. It specifically examined the level of ICT usage among teachers and the available technological resources in selected private schools. The study utilized a quantitative descriptive research design and gathered data through survey questionnaires administered to private school teachers from Seaview Learning Center and St. Andrews School in Amlan, as well as Villaflores College and Arjune Learning Center in Tanjay. To analyze the extent of ICT use, the study employed statistical tools such as percentage, frequency, weighted mean, and chi-square. Additionally, it examined significant relationships between teachers’ ICT application and key factors, including training, infrastructure, and institutional support. The study found that most private school teachers are young, female, single, and hold a Bachelor's degree, with many having 1 to 5 years of experience. Teachers found Facebook and MS Excel the most user-friendly and beneficial, while Kahoot and Mentimeter were harder to use. They preferred using Facebook, MS Excel, and laptops, while Kahoot and radio had lower usage. Most students received a Very Satisfactory rating in the 2023-2024 school year. ICT use was not linked to teacher demographics but was significantly connected to student performance, emphasizing the need for effective technology integration in classrooms. To encourage the use of ICT tools like radio, Kahoot, and Mentimeter in the teaching-learning process, schools should provide training workshops and ICT seminars to show practical ways on how to use these tools for engaging lessons. Teachers can maximize existing resources for quizzes, feedback, and storytelling. Schools should also promote idea-sharing through meetings or social media as well as peerto-peer training where experienced teachers share their knowledge in ICT. Regular feedback and mentoring can help teachers gain confidence in using ICT. By offering continuous support and focusing on real classroom applications, schools can create a more tech-friendly learning environment.
