Information and Communications Technology Competencies and Integration Practices of Public Secondary School Teachers in the Philippines

This study investigated the ICT competencies and integration practices of 573 public secondary school teachers in the province of Lanao del Norte, Philippines, particularly their level of ICT competencies, extent of ICT integration, challenges encountered, and their perceptions on ICT integration. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design which explored the significant relationship between teachers’ level of ICT competencies and their perceptions on ICT integration, and the teachers’ extent of ICT integration and their perceptions on ICT integration. Pearson Product Moment Coefficient Correlation was used to analyze the foregoing relationships. The findings revealed that: (1) there is a significant relationship between the level of ICT competencies and the perceptions on ICT integration, and (2) there is no significant relationship between the extent of ICT integration and the perceptions on ICT integration. With the foregoing findings, the researcher proposed recommendations that are relevant to the public secondary school teachers’ implementation on ICT integration.
