UTILIZATION OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: BASIS FOR INTERVENTION PROGRAM

This study assessed the organizational readiness for the adoption of a Learning Management System (LMS) at Davao Oriental State University, focusing on four key dimensions: Technological Infrastructure, Faculty Readiness, Student Readiness, and Administrative Support. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study combined quantitative data from structured surveys with qualitative insights from interviews. Findings revealed that students exhibited high digital literacy and LMS navigation readiness (Mean = 3.80), although they faced challenges related to internet reliability (Mean = 3.16) and affordability (Mean = 3.31). Faculty members were generally prepared (Mean = 3.74) but expressed a need for enhanced training in troubleshooting, course interactivity, and system navigation. Technological infrastructure was rated moderately (Mean = 3.25), with notable gaps in hardware access and internet connectivity. Administrative support emerged as a strength (Mean = 4.01); however, areas such as resistance management (Mean = 2.16) and policy alignment required improvement. Qualitative findings echoed these results, highlighting teachers' compliance due to institutional mandates and the need for better infrastructure and training. Students also identified usability issues and advocated for offline access and improved device compatibility. A comparative analysis using the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test showed no significant differences in readiness between the Main Campus and Banay-Banay Campus among both students (p = 0.593) and faculty (p = 0.244), indicating institution-wide consistency in readiness levels. The study underscores the need for targeted improvements in infrastructure, capacity-building, and policy development to support sustainable LMS integration across the university.
