Abstract

In the advent of Information and Communications Technology in education, competence and skills for technology-based instruction are essential for teachers. With this, there is a need to continually train and equip teachers with understanding and capabilities that will enable them to maximize the utilization of ICT in their instructional practices. Hence, this research determined the correlation of teachers' level of ICT competence towards their ICT integration practices and corroborated it to existing findings in Thailand and Vietnam. Using a descriptive-correlational design, the researchers found a link between and among variables. The chosen respondents for the study consisted of one-hundred and nineteen (119) teachers from private institutions in a district in Bulacan. Results showed that teachers exhibited competence towards ICT integration. More so, teachers highly practiced ICT integration as part of their instructional practices and strategies in teaching. Results of regression analysis of the data revealed that the six dimensions of ICT competence significantly correlated to the teachers' ICT integration practices. The pedagogical practices and competence of Filipino teachers are the same as the Thai and Vietnamese teachers towards ICT Integration. It is recommended that schools maintain teachers' competence and confidence towards ICT integration thru enhancement or faculty development programs.

Abstract

For the last two years, all Philippine educational institutions had to adapt flexible learning. All personnel and students underwent orientation and training to their institution’s Management Information System (MIS). These institutions are utilizing either MIS mandated by the Department of Education, subscribed to or created by the institution itself. Challenges and concerns have been noted on the use of these MIS worldwide. Hence, this study elucidated the experiences and challenges of admistrators, faculty and students with their existing MIS among public and private educational institutions in the Philippines. Using a qualitative comparative case study design, the researchers draw the experiences of the participants on their existing MIS. The findings of the study revealed three main themes on the experiences of the participants with their existing MIS: excellent way to systematize and organize, a work in progress and encompassing of all institutional services. On the resolution of concerns and challenges with their MIS, prevailing themes were: having an efficient and expert Information Technology (IT) team, continuous feedback and improvement, and unresolved due to poor internet connectivity. As to how these challenges affected their performance, themes clustered on: improved and more efficient, negatively affected output and efficiency, and unaffected. This study highlighted the importance of proper orientation and training of all personnel and students, for an effective MIS which must be managed by an expert IT team. Despite the challenges encountered, the use of the MIS led to the better performance of the participants’ duties and responsibilities.
