ICT is one of the most important elements in the ever changing technological world. Due to a limited familiarity with ICT tools regarding teachers’ technological competence, they may exhibit reluctance to embrace change or may lack the confidence to integrate technology into their instructional practices. This study investigated on the levels of teachers' ICT ability and motivation for ICT integration into their teaching in Misamis Oriental, specifically in Tagoloan East District. Specifically it determined teachers ICT competence as to Technology Operations and Concepts, Social and Ethical, Pedagogical, Professional and on teachers’ motivation on ICT integration in their teaching when categorized into attitude, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. A descriptive- correlational research methodology was utilized in this study. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the significance of the link between the dependent and independent variables. The study's findings revealed that all respondents had advanced levels of ICT skills across all factors. Respondents' motivation for ICT integration in the classroom was very high. However, there was no significant association found between perceived ease of use, concepts, and technology operations. Similar outcomes hold for perceived usefulness and pedagogical competence. Although not all respondents was very highly competent in ICT, they have a very high level of motivation to integrate ICT in teaching. It is recommended that teachers should participate in workshop-style training sessions on how to use technology to enhance their ICT professional competence.
