Background of the Study
➢ Information and Communications Technology (ICT) refers to the range of technologies applied
in the process of collecting, storing, editing, retrieving, and transfer of information in various
forms.
➢ Danner and Pessu (2017) stated that the importance of technology in people’s lives is
unimaginable. Similarly, Danner (2017 as cited by Singh and Subramaniam, 2018) says further
that students would need computer and communication technology skills to live successfully in
a knowledge-based society.
➢ Kennedy, et al. (2012 as cited by Guclu, 2019) noticed that many students do not have the
knowledge, memory, learning, intelligence, or expertise to assess what they do and do not know
and what they need to learn. Simply students “don’t know what they don’t know,” they are
unable to recognize their exact level of competence. Thus, the purpose of this paper was to
assess the Information and Communications Technology competencies among grade V pupils of
Anibongan Elementary School. This is also to analyze the pattern of ICT usage habits and
perceived competency possessed by grade V pupils of Anibongan Elementry School.
Conceptual Framework
.
Research Questions
The general objective of this study was to assess the Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) competencies among pupils specifically grade V of Anibongan Elementary
School of Lianga 1 District, Lianga, Surigao del Sur. It also sought to answer the following
objectives:
1. Determine the profile of the respondents according to:
a. Age
b. Sex.
2. Identify the ICT usage habits of all grade V pupils of Anibongan Elementary School;
3. Identify the level of perceived ease towards ICT usage among grade V pupils of Anibongan
Elementary School;
4. Examine how grade V pupils of Anibongan Elementary School perceive their ICT
competencies;
5. Measure the significant differences in the perceived ICT competencies among grade V pupils
of Anibongan Elementary School according to sex, age and ICT usage habits, and;
6. Establish whether there are significant differences in the perceived ease towards ICT usage
among the grade V pupils of Anibnogan Elementary School according to age, sex, and ICT usage
habits.

District Lianga, Surigao del Sur. The respondents answered the questionnaire given and follow an
informal interview to make clarifications about the said research study.
Research Instrument
➢ The data-gathering tool used was the questionnaire and informal interview.
Data Gathering Procedure
➢ The respondents answered the questions according to the instruction provided. They indicated
their responses by checking one of the five choices after each item. The data gathered were
tallied, tabulated and subjected to analysis and interpretation.

Statistical Treatment
In analyzing the data, the following statistical measures employed.
1. To answer problem no. 1, 2, and 3, the frequency counts and percentage were used.
2. To answer problem no. 4 on the perception of grade V pupils of Anibnogan Elementary of Lianga 1
District students on their ICT competencies, mean was used;
3. To respond objective no. 5, and 6, the Analysis of Variance was used.
4.To further test in which group/s the difference exists, Post-Hoc Analysis was conducted using Tukey’s
Pairwise Comparisons.
Data were analyzed electronically using Paleontological Software Package (PAST), portable version and MS
Excel 2013.
Findings
This investigation involved 25 grade V pupils of Anibongan Elementary of Lianga 1
District . Table 1 shows that for every (5) respondents, 4 were females or 80%. Only
one-fourth of the respondents were males..
