The link between digital proficiency and instructional delivery has become a cornerstone of effective education in the 21st century, as technology continues to reshape teaching and learning. While previous research studies highlight digital proficiency in teaching, few have specifically examined its connection to instructional delivery among field study students who will be the future facilitators of modern classroom settings where technology is a trend. This descriptive-correlational study employed a structured survey among 33 field study students to assess their technical and digital pedagogical skills in relation to instructional clarity and student engagement. The findings revealed that the technical and digital pedagogical skills of field study students were at a proficient level, similar to other studies, and showed significant positive relationships between technical skills and instructional clarity (r = 0.614), digital pedagogical skills and instructional clarity (r = 0.80), technical skills and student engagement (r = 0.613), and digital pedagogical skills and student engagement (r = 0.78). Based on these findings, the study proposes a training program titled “Enhancing Instructional Delivery through Digital Proficiency” to support field study students’ mastery of technology integration and strengthen their instructional delivery.
