Learners: Proposed Policy Intervention”

Thesis Adviser: Eliza E. Redondo, Ph.D.

This study aimed to determine the challenges of ICT Coordinators of SND

West District in their teaching and academic performance of the learners.

Specifically, it aimed to: determine the personal profile of the ICT Coordinators,

investigate challenges of ICT Coordinators;, assess ICT Coordinators’ teaching

and learner’s academic performance, and develop a policy intervention that can

improve ICT Coordinator’s performance towards learners’ teaching and learning

performance.

This study used descriptive – qualitative method of research. The

researcher utilized the seventeen (17) ICT Coordinators who were purposively

chosen and their corresponding learners who were selected through cluster

sampling technique.

The study found out that majority of the ICT Coordinators are aged 25-29

years old, female, with master’s degree units, have 1-5 number of years as ICT

Coordinator, attended 1-3 seminars and training related to ICT, and mostly have
7-8 teaching loads. They challenges in computer literacy, technology resources,

software resources, and internet connectivity were encountered and challenges on

software resources was moderately encountered. It further revealed that majority

of the learners’ academic performance had a very satisfactory performance with

85%-89% average grades.

With regards to the ICT Coordinators’ challenges encountered on

computer literacy, technology resources, software resources, and internet

connectivity to their learners’ academic performance, results show they are not

significantly related. The null hypothesis was accepted. Similarly, the challenges

encountered on computer literacy, technology resources, software resources, and

internet connectivity with the ICT Coordinators’ teaching performance, also show

they are not significantly related as the null hypothesis was accepted.
