Levels of Use, Online Teaching, Stages of Concerns, Technological Learning ApplicationsAbstract
Using descriptive-correlational research design, this study determined the relationship between the availability of technological learning applications and tools, and science teachers’ levels of use of online teaching, and their stages of concern. It was conducted at the Schools Division of Laoag City involving all elementary science teachers who are teaching online for the SY 2021-2022. Hence, the purposive sampling technique was used to determine the teachers involved in the study. Findings revealed that the respondents are young adult. The majority of them are female. Most of them are teaching Science for less than five years. Their mean years of teaching Science is 9.44. Majority of them have masters’ units and they have attended trainings and seminars related to online teaching. The respondents have the availability of technological learning applications and tools in online teaching. The teachers’ level of use of online teaching falls at Level V (Integration Stage) while the teachers’ stages of concern fall at Stage 0 (Awareness). Findings also revealed that only the teachers’ number of years teaching in Science is significantly related to their level of use of online teaching.
