ICT Competencies and Performance of ICT Coordinators in Moncada

Abstract

This study determined the level of competencies and performance of thirty – one (31) ICT Coordinators in public elementary schools in Moncada. It employed a descriptive - comparative – correlational research design. In gathering the data, a researcher – made questionnaire was given to the respondents. Descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis of variance, paired t – test and Pearson product – moment correlation were used to treat the data gathered. Results showed that the ICT Coordinators are generally young adults, male, bachelor’s degree holders, have limited number of trainings related to ICT, and are newly designated as school ICT Coordinators. The ICT Coordinators are highly competent as perceived by their immediate supervisors and by themselves. The level of competency of ICT Coordinators has no bearing on their performance. The researcher recommends that the administrators shall conduct training – workshops focused on ICT Systems and Infrastructure Management and ICT Programs and Projects and Policies and Standards Implementation; design comprehensive Key Result Areas (KRAs) as basis for Individual Performance Commitment (IPC) of ICT Coordinators; provide job description for ICT Coordinators’ designation; and monitor the strict implementation of the Individual Work Plan (IWP) of the ICT Coordinators.
