Abstract

Introduction

This study generally determined the level of competency in the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) of teachers in Cluster 7 in the City Schools Division of Urdaneta for the School Year 2017-2018.

Methods

A validated questionnaire was utilized as the main instrument in data gathering. Mean Score Percentage, weighted mean, Pearson correlation coefficient were utilized as statistical tools for this study.

Results

Findings showed that Teachers in Cluster 7 mostly used ICT resources in the teaching-learning process to the extent of their familiarity with the resources. The level of competency of teachers in Cluster 7 in using ICT resources in the teaching-learning process is satisfactory in keeping records of the learners, and the highest level of competency in the use of ICT resources is using television or video as instructional material. Correlational analysis revealed that the extent of use of the ICT resources is not influential factors affecting their competency in the use of ICT in the teaching-learning process. This finding leads to the acceptance of the null hypothesis which means that the use of ICT resources is not significantly related to their competency.

Discussions

Teachers in Cluster 7 need to run through advanced practices on the use of ICT by exposing themselves to the different ICT-based methodologies. These methodologies enable the teachers to be more innovative in utilizing ICT that involves the active participation of the students.
