摘要:Global education has started shifting from the use of traditional instructional materials to
technology-based instructional materials (IM) to provide students a flexible learning environment. Many
countries have already started integrating computer-based and multi-sensory IM in the classroom. The shift is
challenging especially to those who have not advanced in their field of study, but there are insights that those
who take post graduate studies are more adept to the use of various technology-based IM. In the Philippines,
the Department of Education is actively engaged in various programs that upgrade the quality of education.
One of these programs is enhancing the teachers’ competencies in the use of instructional materials. In this
study, the IM preparation competency of the randomly selected public and private secondary school teachers in
Camarines Sur were analyzed in terms of the relationship of their knowledge and skills in IM design and
preparation, and their educational attainment and length of service. Utilizing a descriptive-evaluative
methodology, the data were gathered through questionnaires and interviews. The result of the study revealed
that most teachers prefer handouts over the multi-sensory technology and technology-based instructional
materials. Moreover, it showed that the level of competency of the teachers in IM preparation is affected by their
educational attainment and length of service. It was then suggested that the government and the educational
institutions should work together to provide teachers with opportunities and computer-based educational
materials that would help them become more competent in the preparation and use of IM for today’s high school
students. It was also proposed that a 3-year program focused on IM preparation should be established.
