Abstract:
This study focus to determine the effectiveness of utilization of information and communication technology
concerning the pupils’ academic performance in Binalbagan District II. A descriptive research design was used
in this study. The respondents were the 60 teachers in the 14 public elementary schools in Binalbagan District II.
A researcher-made questionnaire was used in this study. The frequency and percentage, the mean, Mann
Whitney U Test, and Pearson’s r are the statistical tools used in this study. The findings revealed that out of 60
teacher respondents majority were older (39 years old and above, had longer( 14 years and above) length of
service, were bachelor’s degree holders, and with both higher and lower income. The extent of effectiveness of
the utilization of information and communication technology in planning the lesson, delivery of the lesson, and
monitoring and evaluation was highly effective. The extent of effectiveness of the utilization of information and
communication technology when grouped according to the aforementioned variables was highly effective. The
academic performance of the pupils was satisfactory. In addition, no significant difference in the extent of
effectiveness of the teacher’s utilization of the information and communication technology in terms of age and
length of service in the area of planning the lesson and delivery of the lesson. There was a significant difference
in the extent of effectiveness of the teacher’s utilization of the information and communication technology in
terms of age and length of service in the area of planning the lesson and delivery of the lesson. Further, there
was a significant difference in the extent of effectiveness of the teacher’s utilization of the information and
communication technology according to variables in the area of monitoring and assessment. Furthermore, there
was no significant relationship between the extent of effectiveness of the utilization of information and
communication technology and pupils’ academic performance. Lastly, the lack of inadequate ICT equipment
was the most common problem encountered by the teachers.
