Competencies and Work Performance of Information Technology Educators of State Universities and Colleges in Region 1

Abstract

This study sought to determine the competency and work performance of Information Technology Educators of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Region I. The research-formulated questionnaire was utilized as the main data-gathering instrument. All SUCs in Region I were involved in the study with 107 as the faculty-respondents. The descriptive-survey method was employed. Appropriate statistical tools were used to analyze the data of interest. The competency level of the faculty-respondents in the different areas of computer programming is highly competent. They regard their selves as very satisfactory in the level of their work performance in terms of curriculum and instruction, research services, extension services, and support to operation. The test of significance revealed the following: The level of work performance in terms of curriculum and instruction, research services, extension service and support to operations is not significant to sex  and civil status of the respondents. Their highest educational attainment is significantly associated to their work performance in terms of research services. Others have slight correlation such as in curriculum and instruction, extension services, and support to operations. Age has negative correlation and others are slightly correlated such as academic rank, and length of service. Their work performances have significant relationship to the number of attended seminars/trainings/conferences in the different levels. Finally, there are correlations between the level of work performance to the level of competencies in the different areas of computer programming as well as job satisfaction and the latter.
