This document discusses the rationale for assessing the ICT competency levels of TLE teachers and students at NDDU IBED Espina Campus in order to propose an intervention program. It notes that ICT skills are important for 21st century learning and replacing traditional teaching methods. The document outlines that the study will assess teachers' and students' ICT competency levels across four dimensions: technology operations, social/ethical issues, pedagogical skills, and professional skills. It will determine if there are significant differences between teachers and students, and based on results, an intervention program will be proposed to enhance both groups' ICT competencies.

Intervention Program

2. RATIONALE
Abdulghani (2017)
purported that the need for
development of
Information
Communication
Technologies (ICTs) is of
great significance to all
mankind. These
technologies have become
fundamental to
contemporary societies.
Ghavifekr, Razek,
Ghani, Ran, Meixi and
Tengyue (2019)
regarded ICT as a
shorthand for the
software, computers,
networks, satellite links
and related systems
that permit people to
create, access,
analyze, exchange and
use information, data
and knowledge in
numerous ways.
In the field of
education, ICT
competency will
assist teachers to the
global requirement to
replace traditional
teaching methods
with a technology-
based teaching and
learning tools and
facilities (Ghavifekr &
Rosdy: 2015). 2

3. RATIONALE
In the Philippine setting, with
the K-12 curriculum, the 21st
century skills needed by a
holistically developed Filipino
are the Information, Media
and Technology skills, thus,
the use of ICT in teaching
and learning process plays a
vital role in developing these
lifelong skills needed by the
learners as they go out of
the school and face the
reality of workplace.
According to the UNESCO
Competency Framework, the ICT
Competencies are a set of
technology standards that define
proficiency in using computer
technology in the classroom. The
competencies consist of
computer-related skills grouped
into four general domains: (1)
Basic Technology Operation, (2)
Personal and Professional Use of
Technology Tools, (3) Social,
Ethical, and Human Issues, and
(4) Application of Technology in
Instruction. 3

4. RATIONALE
Teachers’ competencies are
critical influencers on ICT
implementation in institutions
of higher learning, as
reported by Yang (2019).
Similarly, Agarwal (2019)
posits that training gaps
aided by administrators are
viewed as an obstacle
towards ICT implementation.

5. TRAINING GAPS
Viewed as an obstacle towards ICT implementation
LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN ICT INTEGRATION
Caused by inadequate knowledge on ICT-related tasks and
deficient skills in using ICT software tools and appliances
COMPETENCE GAPS
Regarded as an impediment towards ICT implementation

INADEQUATE ICT SKILLS
PROBLEMATIC
SCENARIO
85% had inadequate skills to implement ICT in teaching and
learning effectively (Garcia,et al.,(2020) Caluza, et al. (2017))
