Abstract
This study aimed to
determine the technological proficiency and attitude of Technology and
Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers towards digital teaching tools in one of
the districts in the Division of Negros Occidental for the School Year
2025-2026. To address this problem, a descriptive-correlational research design
was used, utilizing a validated researcher-made questionnaire administered to
130 TLE teachers. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation,
and inferential statistics such as Mann Whitney U Test and Spearman Rank
Correlation Coefficient were utilized to answer the specific problems of the
study. Findings of the study showed TLE teachers have high level technological
proficiency and the attitude towards digital teaching tools. Likewise, it is at
high level across all demographic profile such as age, sex, geographical
location, years of teaching experience, and key stage. Furthermore, the level
of technological proficiency differed significantly in term of age and teaching
experience. Significant differences were also observed in the level of attitude
of TLE teachers when grouped according to teaching experience and key stage.
More importantly, a significant relationship was found between the level of
technological proficiency and level of attitude of TLE teachers toward digital
teaching tools, indicating that both technical skills and receptive mindset are
essential factors for the effective integration of digital teaching tools in
the classroom. This study recommends that similar studies exploring the same
and other variables and subject areas should be conducted to further validate
these findings across diverse education contexts.
