Abstract
In order to give innovative, up-to-date, and efficient quality instruction to pupils, teachers must have educational technology competences (ETC). This study described and determined the ETC of teachers and factors that affect their ETC with the goal of contributing to the elementary education sector's inputs to their training program. The ETC of 226 elementary school teachers from private and public schools is reported in this descriptive quantitative study. Five (5) competences emerged from factor analysis of the instrument used to determine the ETC. Four (4) of the competences were deemed 'competent,' while the other was deemed 'very competent. Furthermore, MANOVA revealed that only the greatest educational attainment and the type of school where they teach have an impact on their ETC. Sex, years of teaching, and age had no significant effect on their ETC. Hence, the research presented recommendations for what should be considered in teacher training, particularly in terms of improving teachers' ETC.
