Training Needs Assessment on the Application of Information Technology in Teaching: The Case of De La Salle University Dasmariñas

Abstract

This describes the training needs assessment of De La Salle University Dasmariñas (DLSUD) teachers based on their perception of Professional Development (PD) vis-à-vis the PD program of the school in terms of its activities and support services relevant to professional development. The research assumes that PD of teachers which includes training about ICT integration is essential to create a new learning environment responsive to the needs of the 21st-century learners. The study also involved examining the current knowledge of the respondents in terms of instruction and classroom management including their level of expertise in the use of technology applications and tools in teaching amid digital disruption. This study employed a qualitative research design and research participants were teachers from the seven colleges of DLSUD including the graduate schools, and senior high school. Frequency counts, ranking, weighted means, and ANOVA were the statistical tools used to determine the level of needs for the different categories identified. Findings show that there’s no significant difference among all departments/colleges when it comes to perceived need while when grouped according to years in the teaching profession and educational background, there’s a significant difference between the means of the group when one looks at the variables used for continuing education.
