Abstract

ICT (Information and Communication Technology) competency is crucial for teachers to create interactive and effective learning environments. However, there are still areas that face challenges such as limited resources, inadequate training, and poor infrastructure. This study, conducted among 1 ,275 public school teachers in Bukidnon, explored factors influencing ICT competency using the DigiCompEdu Questionnaire, a tool for measuring digital skills. The findings revealed that higher educational attainment is linked to increased ICT proficiency, while more years of teaching experience correlated negatively. Gender and time spent using technology showed minimal impact on overall digital literacy. These results highlight the need for targeted professional development programs and infrastructure improvements. Schools must provide teachers with the necessary support and training to effectively integrate ICT into education. Additionally, policymakers should focus on developing strategies to enhance ICT integration in similar contexts.
