Competency Level

This study aims to describe the computer competency of high school teachers at Tinajero High School, in the Philippines, during the calendar year  2019. Specifically, it sought to identify and describe the teachers’ computer competency, strengths and weaknesses, and problems in MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Most of the conducted studies focused on the computer competency of the students. Few studies addressed the computer competency level of the teachers. In this digital age, teachers are not exempted on learning he Microsoft application. Sooner or later, the world will be embracing a mode of instruction that uses more of computer than of those traditional ways.  This study used a descriptive-survey type of study and a validated competency test from Module quizzes from Innovate: A Mentor’s Guide to ICT Foundation Competencies by Microsoft Philippines. Findings showed the teachers are highly competent on MS Word, competent on MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint. Insufficiency of the computer equipment was identified as the main problem. It is therefore recommended to further strengthen the ICT capability training being given to the teachers so that technology will be maximized in making the educative system more impactful to the learners.

Teachers Professional Development

The professional development of teachers is an important component of quality standards for any educational system, as teachers’ engagement in continuing professional development (CPD) activities are related with aspects of professional commitment and satisfaction. In this study, we explore how perceived demands of a national educational reform in the Philippines are associated with different indicators of senior high school teachers’ professional development. A survey of 289 teachers recruited to teach senior high school for the first time in the Philippines indicated that perceived demand was not associated with CPD participation intentions, but that perceived demand related to job requirement and to career planning had different associations with attitudes towards CPD. These different associations can be viewed as adaptive responding to the uncertainties in their changing work environment. The implications for conceptualizing the context of teachers’ professional development, and the external factors that strengthen or weaken teachers’ positive attitudes towards CPD are discussed.

School Teachers

This qualitative case study studied and explored how seven senior high school teachers in the Philippines taught Media and Information Literacy in the early years of its implementation through interviews, and analysis of the teachers’ lesson plans. To guide the data analysis, the researcher used the seven phases of analytic procedures or data analysis as described by Marshall and Rossman (2011). Results revealed that there was confusion and misunderstanding among school authorities as to the qualities of prospective MIL teachers as shared by the informants; motivation and preparation of MIL teachers were inadequate; and teachers did not have a deep understanding of the meaning, significance, and scope of the subject, MIL. Furthermore, the selected teachers simply used whatever strategies they know; and materials were not readily available for their use.
