Abstract

This research study explored information and communication technology (ICT) integration of STS teachers in three higher education institutions. The study utilized a descriptive research design. It uses purposive sampling (N=10) in administering the survey questionnaire to Science, Technology and Society (STS) teachers who voluntarily participated from three state universities in region 8.  Results revealed that STS teachers consider ICT integration as highly important in their STS classes and a moderate support of the administration regarding ICT implementation in the universities. Further, STS teachers utilize ICT resources, particularly word processing and PowerPoint software in-class instruction. The results of this study indicate that teachers in higher institutions consider ICT integration as highly important in delivering instruction and providing quality education. To attain successful and sustainable implementation, support from the administration is likewise necessary. It is therefore, recommended to have a comprehensive and integrated ICT framework of the university.
