1. PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT # 8
The instrument for the independent variable was adapted from Yusuf et.al of nigeria. The
survey instrument used for this research was developed by the researchers based on
established procedures in literature. The survey instrument contained four sections. Section A
included four questions and it focused on demographic information of student-teachers:
department, course, level, and gender. Section B focused on student-teachers' attitude towards
Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The section contained 14 items and the
Likert response mode of Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D) and Strongly Disagree (SD)
were used. Section C of the questionnaire which contained two items addressed the issue of
where student-teachers acquired their ICT knowledge and skills, while Section D was designed
to know the level of competence of students-teachers in the use of ICT, specifically, basic ICT
competence and not the educational ICT competence. The section contained 35 items and the
response modes were: “I am fully competent with this application/operation” (FC coded 4); “I
am a regular and confident user of this application” (RCU coded 3); “I have used this
occasionally but need further training” (OU coded 2); “I do not use” (DU coded 1); and “I am not
aware of this application/operation” (NA coded 0).
To test the instrument's validity and reliability, the initial draft was administered on 50
student-teachers drawn from a university in South West Nigeria. The feedback obtained from
this first administration was used to revise the final instrument. The final instrument was tested
for reliability using test-retest method of three weeks interval. The reliability coefficients
obtained for the five sections of the instruments were 0.76 (attitude), 0.86 (Basic Computer
Operation and Issues), 0.81 (Use of Application Software), 0.80 (Use of the Internet Resources),
and 0.76 (Use of Peripheral ICT Equipment). Five hundred copies of the questionnaire were
distributed to randomly selected student-teachers before lecture periods. The questionnaire
was administered on the sample during the second semester of the 2007/2008 academic
session (February - May, 2008). Four hundred and seven copies were returned, out of which 25
2. were discarded due to incomplete data, thus 382 were found usable, at a return and usable
rate of 76.40%.
The responses for the respondents were tabulated and compared, and descriptive analysis
(percentages and means) were done to present the details about the attitude and competence
of student-teachers in the use of ICT. Furthermore, Chi-square statistics was used to test the
two hypotheses generated in the study.

Point Score Range Descriptive Equivalent Interpretation
4 3.51 Strongly Agree This means that I am fully competent with the
application/ operation
3 2.51 Agree Thismeansthat I am regularand confidentuser

but need further training
1 1.00 Disagree This means that I do not use the application/
operation
0 0.50 Strongly disagree This means that I am not aware of this
application/ operation
The instrument for the dependent variable was take from the Teacher's Readiness in online teaching
Environment: A case of Department of Education Teachers was adapted from the study of Randy
Ventayen.In this research study, the researcher adopted a quantitative method of research. It used the
survey as a method of data collection that has gained popularity over the years because of a great deal
of valuable information on what people think. Also, it is more common to use questionnaires because it
yieldsinformation
that ismore systematicforall participants.

Data Collection
Before the data collection, the researcher will first write a letter to the President of Saint Francis
Xavier College requesting the approval of the permission letter to conduct the study. Then, the
researcher will ask from the office of registrar of the respondents schools the complete list of the target
respondents who are enrolled in the year 2021-2022 to determine the population of this study. After all
the request for permission to conduct the study will be granted, the researcher ask the participants
were requested to complete the survey within one term from the date of the issuance of the
questionnaire. The researcher shorten the link and posted in all the Google classroom newsfeed. The
adapted survey questionnaire was floated using Google forms including the instructions on how to
answer the instrument. After the respondents have answered questionnaire, the researchers will collect
themand the data will be tabulatedandsubjectedtostatistical testandanalysis.
4. Statistical Test
The data will be analyzedwiththe helpof the followingstatistical toolsortest.
Frequency and Percentage were used in the first problem which is the profile of the respondents.
Average weighted mean was also usedin determining the interpretation based on the Likert rating scale
usedinthe level of competejceyand readinessinteachingenvironment.
Weighted Mean- This tool will be used to answer statement of the problem which are the levels of the
researcherindependentanddependentvariables
Standard Deviation- This statistical testsis a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of
values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tends to be close to the mean of the set, while
a highstandard indicatesthatthe valuesare spreadoutovera widerrange.
