Abstract:

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the ICT-LEAP (ICT-Led Enhancement and Advancement Program) intervention designed to improve the ICT competencies of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers at Agusan National High School. Anchored on curriculum alignment and innovation goals, the program began with a training needs assessment, focus group discussions, and identification of ICT skills gaps, which revealed limited experience in digital content creation and productivity tools among respondents. Using a quantitative descriptive-evaluative research design, the study involved ten TLE teachers who underwent structured ICT-LEAP training modules. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test evaluation and training surveys. Statistical analysis was employed to assess competency development. Findings revealed a significant improvement in ICT competency levels after the intervention. Mean scores increased by 28.3 with high statistical significance (p < 0.001), and a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 4.78) was recorded. Respondents progressed from intermediate to advanced competency levels. Additionally, teacher satisfaction was exceptionally high, with 100% completion and a 5/5 satisfaction rating. Qualitative feedback highlighted increased confidence in using digital tools such as Canva and improved instructional readiness. The results demonstrate that targeted, needs-based ICT training programs effectively enhance teacher competencies, instructional preparedness, and technology integration in TLE education. The study recommends program expansion, institutional partnerships, continued module development, and ICT-related initiatives to sustain impact and promote innovation in teaching practices.
