Teachers’ Instructional Proficiency and Digital Literacy

This study determined the teachers’ levels of competencies in terms of digital literacy and subject mastery. It utilized a descriptive quantitative research design and was conducted among four elementary schools located in Bongao Municipality. The respondents were the teachers handling English subjects. The researchers developed a survey questionnaire, which was pilot tested for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha. The questionnaire had a reliability coefficient of .91, which was highly acceptable. Percentage and weighted mean were used to analyze the demographic profile of the teachers. Spearman correlation was used to determine the significant relationships among variables. The study revealed that there is a significant relationship between the demographic profile of the teachers and their subject mastery and digital literacy. Researchers concluded that teachers were very highly competent in both subject mastery and digital literacy. Furthermore, teachers can still be provided with ongoing professional development opportunities to enhance their skills.
