Abstract:

“Objective: This study was conducted to determine the digital and technological skills of the teachers using the TPACK framework.

Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional explanatory design to determine the technological competence of 196 teachers in a state university in the Philippines.

Findings: Results of the study show that the respondents have very high pedagogical and content knowledge. This reflects that the teachers demonstrated mastery of content and well-versed of various methodologies and approaches that they used in their teaching. Further analysis also reveals that those teachers who have a very high level of technological competence also have a high level of technology acceptance. Auxiliary to this, teachers who have high technological competence perceived that using technology was highly acceptable.

Conclusion: This research suggests that educational institutions should continue to conduct intensive trainings and technical support among teachers to further develop their technological skills so that they will become well-versed in using technological tools which are indispensable during online learning.”
