Learners’ Perspective on Teachers’ Practices in Integrating ICT: Basis for an Instructional Improvement Plan

This study aimed to assess learners' perspectives on teachers’ practices in integrating ICT into their lessons among Junior High School Teachers in the Tagoloan District, School Division of Lanao del Norte, for the school year 2024-2025. The researcher obtained diverse responses from the 260 respondents, focusing on their demographic profiles, the gadgets they had used, and internet availability. The researcher's findings revealed that the majority of respondents were aged 14 years, with a higher representation of female students. This highlighted the significant insights into the teacher’s practices in ICT integration. The results indicated that teachers often utilize ICT tools to enhance their instructional strategies, fostering student engagement and collaboration. In addition, the researcher revealed that access to gadgets negatively impacts students’ performance, indicating that students without such access may perform better academically. Therefore, this study designed an instructional improvement plan to enhance teachers' ICT Integration Practices as a Strategic Approach Based on students’ perspectives on teachers’ practices in integrating ICT. It has been observed that while some educators effectively utilize digital tools, others face challenges in accessibility, proficiency, and implementation strategies. This action plan aims to address these gaps by providing targeted interventions to improve ICT integration in instruction, ensuring that teachers are equipped with the necessary skills and resources.
