Abstract

In an effort to restrict the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools and institutions are switching to online learning completely in place of face-to-face classes. Many teachers, however, were shown to be not ready to teach online. This study utilized descriptive correlational research design regarding individual adaptability and availability of ICT facilities as predictors of the respondents’ readiness in an online teaching environment. The data were generated from the teachers of public secondary schools in Region XI, Philippines. Sets of adapted survey tools with a five-point Likert scale were used to gather data from the respondents. The statistical tools used to treat the data were mean, standard deviation, and multiple linear regression. The results showed that teachers were highly adaptive to online teaching environment. Also, ICT facilities were highly available, and teachers were ready for an online teaching environment. Both teachers’ individual adaptability and availability of ICT facilities influenced teachers’ readiness in an online teaching environment with the availability of ICT facilities as the best predictor.
