Abstract


Technology integration literacy has significant implications for the students’ learning and career as they need to know how to select, use, assess, and implement technology within different learning areas. This study aims to determine the first-year education students’ perception of the integration of technological literacy in a community college in the province of Misamis Oriental. Results show that the level of incorporation of technological literacy is important for these prospective teachers since it corresponds to the ever-evolving trends that include the use of technology by students as well as the incorporation of technology in teaching processes. This issue was questioned as part of the survey, and the outcomes that referred to the technological literacy workshops, technological literacy courses, and technological literacy activities scored the highest mean of 3.28, regarded as very significant. This finding highlights the need for applied work concerning technology integration into academic learning with considerations towards improving students’ learning and readiness in taking the path and role of a teacher. Furthermore, the study also discusses the psychological aspect of integrating technological literacy with traditional subject matters, stressing the positive aspect of the effort, indicating that the integration helps the students face the challenges of the modern education systems. It empowers learners with confidence and sharpens their critical thinking skills, hence producing competent learners in preparation for a constantly changing educational setting. This recommends that educators must have definite professional development in order to stay current with technological competence in supporting their students. Therefore, the incorporation of technological literacy in content areas is essential for producing effective and competent prospective teachers who are ready to use technology as a means and an end to augment student learning.
