 ABSTRACT
Nowadays, the Internet serves as a constant instructor and one of the

most reliable sources of important knowledge. This research therefore had a

survey research design and was conceptual in character. It looked at how

technology, specifically internet technology, helped high school teachers perform

better at their jobs. For the purpose of this study, San Jose National High School

was selected based on the school that have internet facility. The sample size

required by Mark Saunders' 2009 research was applied to a population of 100

people. Twenty teachers that participated in the survey as respondents made up

the sample size. One evaluation form of a questionnaire with two sections was

used as the study's main tool. The first section of the questionnaire focused on

how teachers perceived their use of the internet, while the second segment

assessed how well teachers were doing their jobs. The research's findings

undoubtedly demonstrated the value of the internet in secondary education and

how ICT can assist teachers demonstrate their expertise in a variety of subject

areas. As a result, teachers must be encouraged to take use of ICT's many

benefits. The question and the research hypothesis of the research was tested

by using simple frequencies, mean and standard deviation was used and F-test

(ANOVA) and (PPMR) correlation coefficient was use to retain or reject the null

hypothesis. According to the report, it is imperative that teachers continue their

education and adopt a more positive mindset about integrating internet

technology into their lessons in order to meet educational objectives. Additionally,

it is expected of those involved in secondary school teaching to guarantee that

only computer-literate instructors are hired. It has also been brought to the
reviewers' attention that they need to create curricula that is current and relevant

so that it will jive with the culture of the day.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

INTRODUCTION

Rationale

Education has been and always be an important aspect of the

development of a country and Philippines is no exception to that. Education gives

a chance on people to acquire new knowledge and skills that will help them

improve their life. Education also helps the country as it aims to create

responsible and productive citizens. As such, Technology integration is

introduced to the Department of Education as one of the efficient ways to cater

the knowledge and skills needed by the students today to adapt and be globally

competent.

Globalization enhances the ability of learners to access, assess, adopt,

and apply knowledge, to think independently to exercise appropriate judgment

and to collaborate with others to make sense of new situations. (Priyanka Gupta,

Edtech Review). The Internet has helped facilitate globalization due to how it

allows individuals and groups to interact across borders.

To realize this future vision, Internet accessibility is essential. Numerous

avenues exist for it to raise educational standards. As a result, there are more

opportunities for learning inside and outside of the classroom. It opens doors to a

plethora of knowledge, information, and educational resources. Internet-

supported interactive teaching techniques allow educators to focus more on the

needs of specific students while fostering group learning. This can aid in

addressing the educational disparities that women and girls suffer.

This is a means for education of learners to become better with teachers

aligning their skills and available resources with the new technological teaching-

learning trend.
Theoretical Background

According to Schneider, Evans, and Pinard (2006), Internet is a worldwide

connection of computers which allows information and communication transfer.

The authors further stated that the United States of America Department of

Defense introduced the Internet in the early 1960s for military usage. Then, the

persistent improvement in the Internet and communication technology has given

an unusual level for public accessibility to a variety of and wide range of

communication forms, example, Facebook, Twitter, social websites like, inter-

organizational email; text messaging, data storage, management and transfer.

Constructivism Theory of Learning, the study was guided by the theory of Paper

(1980 -2002). That is, the theory of constructivist theory of learning is based on

ICT and technology, the constructivist learning theory explains that learning with

new innovation should not be limited to classroom environment but should be

beyond the classroom and teacher are expected to be current and boost

students’ initiative by introducing new ideas in his subject

Connectivism Learning Theory, a relatively new learning theory that suggests

students should combine thoughts, theories, and general information in a useful

manner. It accepts that technology is a major part of the learning process and

that our constant connectedness gives us opportunities to make choices about

our learning. It also promotes group collaboration and discussion, allowing for

different viewpoints and perspectives when it comes to decision-making,

problem-solving, and making sense of information. Connectivism promotes

learning that happens outside of an individual, such as through social media,

online networks, blogs, or information databases.
