The Use of Technology in the Delivery of Instruction in Public Schools

Abstract

This study explores the adoption of emerging technologies, particularly IoT, by teachers and the associated benefits and challenges in instructional delivery across three schools in the Eastern part of La Trinidad District. Data was gathered via surveys and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that teachers predominantly utilize smart TVs, laptops, and desktops for instruction, citing benefits such as increased student engagement, heightened excitement in teaching and learning, and fostering student proactivity and creativity. However, challenges persist, including insufficient teacher familiarity with new technologies, limited student access to the internet, and the need for enhanced mentoring or training to effectively utilize these tools. In response, the study recommends prioritizing professional development opportunities for teachers to effectively integrate technologies into their teaching methodologies. This proactive approach aims to bridge the gap between technology adoption and instructional implementation, ultimately enhancing the quality of education delivery in the digital age.
