Abstract

This study’s main thrust was to determine the Teacher’s ICT competence and student’s learning style on their profile in terms of age, highest educational attainment, number of years in teaching experience, and numbers of attendance to training and seminars relates to teacher’s ICT competence. Academic performance 2022-2023, the study employed a descripted survey using modified questionnaire checklist and was conducted in Bohol Northeastern Education Foundation in determining the relationship between teacher’s ICT competence and student’s learning style. Pearson’s correlation coefficient determined the relationship between variables while P-value tested the level of significance. The data revealed that instructors demonstrated commendable ICT competence under new normal where the standard face-to-face learning delivery mode has been replaced with a blended learning approach. In the same vein, students still exemplified outstanding learning styles despite the new learning delivery modality implemented in their schools. For the meantime, it was found that the teacher’s ICT competence domain 4 – technology tools have unfortunately garnered the lowest average weighted mean, which means to propel a proposed development measures to strengthen this aspect. In the same vein, the weakest learning style of the students was Kinesthetic learning style which significantly means that it is indispensable to enhance this area to achieve holistic excellence in the new normal education. Hence, the researchers recommend that teachers should continuously pursue in attending training and seminars related to ICT competence to keep in tract of the educational system’s current trends. Lastly, bisection of teacher-respondents may continuously pursue higher educational attainment to become more adept in the field of integrating ICT in education.
