ABSTRACT

—— The aim of this study is to examine the level of “Teachers’ Level of ICT Skills and Their Perceptions of Integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Teaching” at Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School. The study addresses the following research questions: (i) What is the level of teachers’ ICT skills at DPDS in terms of Microsoft Word Processing, Microsoft Power Point Presentation, Microsoft Excel Spread, Microsoft Publisher Project, Basic Video Editing, Utilizing Online Education Resources, and Using Canva Application? (ii) What are the teachers’ perceptions of ICT integration in teaching at Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School? (iii) Is there a significant difference between the teachers’ level of ICT skills and their perceptions in ICT integration in teaching at Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School? The quantitative component of the research methodology will use a survey questionnaire to collect data from a sample of teachers. The questionnaire will measure the level of ICT skills, perceptions of the usefulness and importance of ICT in teaching, and current practices of integrating ICT in teaching. Descriptive and inferential statistics, specifically a t-test, will be used to analyze the data gathered from the survey. The t-test will compare the means of the two variables to determine if there is a significant difference between the teachers’ level of ICT skills and their perceptions and practices of integrating ICT in teaching. The results of the t-test will be reported with the corresponding pvalue and level of significance. The study found a negligible correlation between the two variables with a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) of 0.198. The p-value was 0.670, which is greater than the alpha level of 0.05, indicating that the correlation is not statistically significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis (HO) that there is no significant relationship between the teachers’ level of ICT skills and their perceptions in ICT integration in teaching is not rejected.
