ICT LITERACY AND ADOPTION OF P.E. TEACHERS: BASIS FOR INTERVENTION

Ivy V. Singson, Junry H. Abajar

Abstract


Despite all of the advantages of incorporating information and communication technology (ICT) into education, applying ICT to the subject of physical education (P.E.) remains a significant challenge for teachers due to the specific nature of the class: the motor aspect, constraints on space, time, and preparation, and so on. This study was conducted to determine the readiness of physical education teachers at the University of Mindanao for ICT- assisted instruction. It used a quantitative, descriptive approach using descriptive statistics to determine the level of ICT literacy and ICT adoption of physical education teachers in teaching and learning. Complete enumeration was used to select the respondents. An online survey was administered to 35 qualified teachers from all branches of the University. The instruments used were adapted and improved from two different research projects. Three experts validated the test questionnaire and rubric in the field with a very good descriptive result. The data gathered were tallied and treated using the following statistical tools: the mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's r. Overall, results show that teachers' ICT literacy and ICT adoption were high. The study further indicates that physical education teachers are more likely to use ICT applications and resources such as the internet, multimedia computers, projector systems, PowerPoint presentations, or word processor programs, especially during teaching and learning sessions. Further, the researcher found that ICT literacy is positively correlated with ICT adoption. Implications of the study results were presented.
