Abstract

Carlos Hilado Memorial State College strives to enhance its technology capability. But now, it is confronted by concerns associated with disparity among its faculty members in terms of technology use and access. The research aimed to determine the ICT capability of CHMSC faculty members. The related variables include age, gender, marital status, educational qualification, teaching assignment and access. The research used descriptive design and survey questionnaire to obtain the needed data. It utilized 77 faculty members from the main campus of Carlos Hilado Memorial State College, Negros Occidental, and Philippines as respondents using the stratified sampling method. The results revealed that CHMSC faculty members manifested average level of ICT capability and had adequate access to ICT. Significantly, age and subjects taught contributed to the variation in faculty members’ ICT capability. Factors such as age and ICT access were evidently related to ICT capability.
