Abstract

This paper investigates the level of familiarity and degree of integration of information and communication technology
(ICT) tools into the teaching instruction of non-ICT faculty at a Philippine university. All non-ICT fulltime faculty members in the
undergraduate, graduate and post graduate programs teaching in the 1st Semester of School Year 2009-2010 were included in this study. A self-constructed survey questionnaire was used for data gathering. The results show that the respondents have high level of familiarity with ICT tools but ICT integration by respondents from Social Sciences and Humanities, and Natural Sciences,
Mathematics and Engineering, are rare. The Health Sciences group has the highest aggregate mean degree of integration.
The significance value comparing the groups of respondents by discipline is .023. The non-ICT faculty at this Philippine university
is technologically challenged with the use of the ICT tools into their teaching instruction. Their level of familiarity requires help from experts for them to work and use ICT tools. Likewise, their degree of integration of ICT tools is alarming given the fact that they rarely use and integrate the tools into their teaching. The primary reason for technology diffusion among the non-ICT faculty in this university is the lack of hardware and software resources installed in these academic units.
