TITLE 3:

TECHNOLOGICAL TEACHING COMPETENCY

AND TEACHERS’ PERFORMANCE IN THE NEW NORMAL

JUSTIFICATION

One of the biggest challenges brought by the Corona Virus Pandemic

in the Philippines is the change in education set-up. From the old normal

set-up where the pupils go to school to learn, they are now confined in their

houses and learning from home having blended distance learning

modalities.

Through DepEd Order No. 12 s. 2020 which is entitled as The Basic

Education Learning Continuity Plan, the department strives to address the

challenges in basic education for school year 2020-2021. This BE-LCP is in

line with Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution for the state to

protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels,

and to take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.

The BE-LCP aims to ensure the safety of health and well-being of the

learners, the teachers and other school personnel in this time of COVID19

pandemic while finding ways for education to continue despite the health
crisis. This is why the continuity plan was designed to adapt the new normal

scheme.

This shift from the old normal to this so called “New Normal” brought

challenges on the part of the educators. Although teachers nowadays should

possess the 21st century skills which includes adaptability to change and

being digital natives, they still needed to adjust in this kind of transition

knowing that teachers have different levels of adapting technology skills.

The technology has a great role in this transition. Thus, the

technological skills of the teachers are also highly in demand in this

situation. Everything goes digital, from conferences, in-service trainings and

even collaboration with the learners because of the limited face to face

interaction.

Although more trainings were done by the department to prepare the

teachers in facing this new set-up, with that short time of preparation,

teachers still need time to master everything, to refine and enhance their

teaching competencies for the blended distance learning.

It is in this light that the researcher thought of determining the level

of technological competence of the teachers in San Ildefonso North District

and its correlation with the teachers’ performance in the New Normal.

Encouraging educators to be more engaged in technology will surely help

them in embracing this new normal set-up and facing the challenges of

distance learning.

Statement of the Problem

The general problem of the study is to determine the level of

technological teaching competency of the teachers in San Ildefonso North

District and its correlation with the teachers’ teaching performance in the

new normal.

Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions:

1. How may the profiles of teachers of San Ildefonso North District

be described in terms of:

1.1 gender

1.2 age

1.3 years in service

 1.4 teaching position

1.5 educational attainment

2. How may the teachers’ utilization of technology be described in

terms of using:

2.1 laptop/computer

2.2 printer

2.3 photocopier machine

2.4 scanner

2.5 smartphones

3. How may the teachers’ technological competencies be described

in terms of:

3.1 Technology Operation and Concepts

3.2 Ethics and Safety

3.3 Teaching and Learning with Technology

3.4 Utilizing Technology in the New Normal

4. How may the teaching performance of teachers based on the

Individual Performance Commitment Review Form (IPCRF) be

described in terms of:

4.1 Quality

4.2 Efficiency

4.3 Timeliness
 5. Does the level of technological teaching competency significantly

affect the teaching performance of teachers?

6. What are the teachers’ perceived barriers in performing and

teaching with technology in this time of new normal?

Statistical Tool:

This research will make use of descriptive statistics such as

weighted mean, standard deviation and multiple regression.

TEACHER’S TECHNOLOGY SKILLS SELF-RATING SCALE

This Technology Self-Assessment for Teachers (TSAT) has beed designed to
determine the teachers’ level of technology proficiency and to identify
personal technology development needs. It also aims to assess their
professional development needs to plan professional development activities
that will help teachers become proficient in technology as one of the steps in
preparing to embrace the New Normal in Education.
