Computer Literacy of Public School Teachers
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Educational Development
Abstract
The study aims to find out how computer-literate teachers are in public schools. This research employed a descriptive methodology. With the help of a survey questionnaire, information was gathered from elementary school teachers at Calanutan ES, Junior High School teachers at Palina East NHS, and Senior High School teachers at Urdaneta City NHS. The study's conclusions revealed that the teachers' computer literacy is above average. If the teachers are arranged in groups based on the greatest level of education they have attained, the results again demonstrate a considerable difference. It was determined that the teachers' computer literacy extended beyond simple activities to include more difficult ones. Consequentially, it is advised that educational institutions hold computer literacy workshops with advanced training skills in the various key areas that address the current level of computer literacy among teachers to further improve their abilities and help them keep up with the swift advancement of technologies as teaching tools. It is also advised that teachers actively participate in any computer literacy training sessions or lectures.
