Internal Assessment of Department of Education Computerization Program Among Public Elementary Schools in The Philippines

This study explored the practices, challenges, and influences of the Department of Education Computerization Program (DCP) in 20 public elementary schools in Pontevedra District. Using a descriptive research design and a validated questionnaire, data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Spearman’s Rho. Results indicated that while teachers and administrators frequently utilized the DCP, learners’ access remained limited due to insufficient computer units. Major challenges included resource scarcity and minimal stakeholder involvement. Despite constraints, the DCP enhanced teaching practices, administrative functions, and student engagement. A training course design was proposed to strengthen program implementation and sustainability.
