The descriptive-developmental research design was employed in the study. Descriptive
research is used to describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon being studied. It does
not answer questions about how/when/why the characteristics occurred. Rather it addresses the
‘what” question (What are the characteristics of the population or situation being studied?) The
characteristics used to describe the situation or populations are usually some kind of categorical
scheme also known as descriptive.
Analysis of data was determined the relationship between the level of ICT competence
of technical vocational educators and their profile variables, the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
was used.
The following findings of the study based on the problems in the study.
Majority of the respondents belong to the age bracket of 21-25 or 31.3 percent belong
to the age bracket of 21-25 years old. Four (4) of the respondents belong to the age bracket of
26 – 30 year old. Three (3) of the respondents belong to the age bracket of 36 – 40 years old.

knowledge is 4.51, skills is 4.57 and attitude is 4.54 are all “Highly Competent” in descriptive
equivalent.
There is no significant relationships between the profile as to sex, civil status, highest
educational attainment, position and relevant trainings. Only the variables age implies a
significant relationships, this means that the age of the respondent significantly relate to the
level of knowledge, skills and attitudes exemplified by them in teaching ICF subject.
