CONCLUSIONThere is a slight technology infusion into the teaching instruction among

teacher educators in Region 7.

• Not all teachers are technologically equipped with the recent tools for mobile learning.

CONCLUSION

ICT integration in teacher education is multifaceted, and it is affected by many related variables.

CONCLUSION

reforms must be made, efforts in ICT integration between the government, academe, and industry must be revisited to achieve innovative teaching and learning

RECOMMENDATION

The Philippine government through CHED should implement seriously its mandate in integrating ICT in the teaching and learning process.

RECOMMENDATION

The Philippine government through DOST and CHED in partnership with private and non-government agencies should develop a new competency standard that is realistic, adaptable and scalable in the regional places.

RECOMMENDATION

HEIs must prioritize programs that will emphasize ICT integration in the curriculum

RECOMMENDATION

Teachers must take advantage of existing and available tools offered in their institution or other organizations that emphasize open learning.

RECOMMENDATION

Training providers should refer to any existing competency standards like UNESCO ICT CST, ISTE Standards·T, among others

RECOMMENDATION

All stakeholders must view ICT in education as a program and not by specific domains and aspects.

RECOMMENDATION

The funding support provided by the Commission on Higher Education through the Philippine Higher Education Research Network (PHERNet), facilitated by Silliman University (SU) through Research and Development Center (RDC) is gratefully acknowledged.
