Profile, Proficiency, and Challenges of Teachers in Integrating ICT in Technology and Livelihood Education

This study aimed to determine the profile and perceptions of the teachers on their level of proficiency in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) integration in Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) in secondary schools of the four districts in Bulan for the school year 2022-2023. It utilized the descriptive-survey method of research since a questionnaire was used in gathering the data. The respondents were the 73 TLE teachers from the four districts in the municipality of Bulan. The statistical tools employed were frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and Chi-square test. This study revealed that TLE teachers are predominantly in the age group of 31 to 35 years old, the majority of them being female and having 6 to 10 years of teaching experience. Most of these teachers hold a bachelor’s degree, and a significant portion has received ICT training at the school-based or district level.  The TLE teachers are proficient in integrating ICT in Home Economics and ICT. However, they are moderately proficient in Agriculture and Fishery Arts and Industrial Arts. There is a significant relationship between the profile of TLE teachers and their level of proficiency in ICT integration along Home Economics, Agriculture and Fishery Arts, Industrial Arts, and ICT.  Recommendations were given based on the findings of this study.
