Using a descriptive-correlation research design, the researcher believes a significant correlation between and among variables. The chosen respondents for the study consisted of one hundred and thirty-five (135). The findings of the study revealed that Junior High School students had moderate literacy towards ICT. Also, this study found out that the Junior High School students described their ICT self-efficacy as moderately agreeing. Furthermore, results of the correlational analysis using Pearson r revealed that the ICT literacy of Junior High School students was significantly correlated to their ICT self-efficacy. It is recommended that the schools include this area in their annual improvement plan under the students’ services affairs. Schools should pay attention to this since majority of the private schools now at the height of integrating ICT in the school system and further uplift the ICT literacy and self-efficacy of Junior High School students toward ICT integration through an enhancement program. |
