Navigating Remote Learning in Teacher Education: An Examination of ICT Integration and Its Impact on Academic Success

This study focused on the information, communication, and Technology-related factors related to the academic achievement of the College of Teacher Education students at Laguna State Polytechnic University San Pablo City Campus. This studys’ primary objective is to determine the effect of ICT-related factors such as digital literacy, school support system, and learner management system on the academic achievement of pre-service education students at Laguna State Polytechnic University based on their general weighted average. The researcher used the self-made questionnaire to determine the ICT-related factors of fifty (50) respondents. The collected data were tabulated and treated statistically to determine the effects of ICT-related factors on CTE students’ academic achievement. Most respondents agreed they can use digital applications like Google Classroom on mobile devices, laptops, and desktop computers. They also agreed that their professors used online educational applications like Google Classroom and Google Meet. Lastly, they know how to use different online applications like Zoom, Google Meet and Google Classroom. Furthermore, the general weighted average of the respondents indicated that most had very satisfactory grades, from 1.50 to 2.00. The findings also revealed that the three ICT-related factors in terms of Digital Literacy, School Support System and Learners Management System do not significantly affect the academic performance of the CTE students. The researcher suggested that educational institutions must provide relevant and effective content, set up an efficient delivery mechanism, and provide digital literacy training to their current faculty to improve learning outcomes.
