Teachers’ Computer Literacy and Learners’ Performance in Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan – Information and Communication Technology: Action Plan

This study investigated the computer literacy of public elementary teachers and its impact on their performance in Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan within the Getafe 1 and Getafe 2 districts of Bohol during the school year 2023-2024. It aimed to profile teachers by age, gender, teaching experience, performance, and engagement in ICT training while assessing their computer literacy across various skills. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design, surveying 62 teachers. Findings revealed a significant correlation between the teachers' profiles, namely age, gender, teaching experience, and computer literacy. However, there was no notable difference in computer literacy when evaluating learners based on their IPCRF, ICT training, or DCP packages. Interestingly, gender differences among teachers were linked to learners' performance in EPP-ICT, but overall, teacher profiles remained consistent across several categories without influencing learner performance. In addition, the study found no significant relationship between teachers' computer literacy and students' EPP-ICT outcomes. The study concludes by recommending enhanced supervision in digitalization efforts within the educational system. It emphasizes the need for teacher training, ICT infrastructure improvements, and hands-on gadget usage for students to prepare them for 21st-century demands better.
