Strengthening Teachers’ Digital Competence through a Microsoft Word and Excel Workshop for Student Report Card Management

This community engagement program addressed the limited practical digital competence of teachers in managing student report cards at TKK Suster-Suster Maria Imakulata, Wailiti. The program aimed to strengthen teachers’ functional digital competence through a workshop on student report card management using Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. A participatory approach was employed through needs assessment, collaborative planning, technical instruction, hands-on practice, individualized mentoring, participatory observation, and reflective discussion. The workshop involved three teachers as primary participants, with the school principal also participating. The baseline assessment showed that all three teachers were familiar with basic computer and Microsoft Office use but required practical support to integrate Excel-based student data with Word-based report card templates. Following the workshop, all three participating teachers (3/3; 100%) successfully completed the integrated report card management workflow, including organizing student data in Excel, integrating the data into Word using Mail Merge, and producing sample report cards based on actual student data. Thus, the observed task-completion rate reached 100%, providing measurable evidence of practical skill acquisition. Reflective discussions further indicated increased awareness of digital technology and an initial shift toward more systematic, data-based administrative practices. These findings suggest that needs-based, hands-on training combined with individualized mentoring can strengthen teachers’ functional digital competence in school administration.
