The main purpose of this study is to determine the efficiency of faculty members of Surigao del Sur State University (SDSSU) – Cantilan Campus, College of Engineering, Computer Studies and Technology, in the utilization of various application software in teaching students during the Academic Year 2017-2018 and to develop and design an action plan for guiding instructors in the efficient use of various application software in teaching their students. In this study, the descriptive method using questionnaires and follow-up interviews were utilized in analyzing pertinent data. Data were collected and gathered from student-respondents and instructor-respondents. Follow-up interviews with the instructors were also done to verify and supplement certain data. The results of the study showed that both instructor and student respondents found utilization of application software as effective in teaching. It was also found that the instructors are efficient in the utilization of various application software in teaching, with room for further improvement.Refference:
