Paper Title:
Assessment of Faculty Competency in the Integration of Instructional Technology in the Classroom at the School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde

Paper Description:
The main purpose of this study was to assess the current competency level of the School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies (SDEAS) deaf and hearing faculty on the integration of instructional technology tools in their teaching.

Deaf and hearing faculty of SDEAS would be able to determine their level of competency in terms of instructional technology use in the classroom. The result of the study aimed to provide baseline data that the school can utilize in planning and implementing policy and action-oriented activities for the improvement of its services and the welfare of its clientele-the Deaf students.

Furthermore, the findings of the study will be an avenue for SDEAS faculty to know which area or competency they need to improve on and develop in terms of instructional technology usage inside the classroom and to ensure their preparedness as they faced with the challenges of the current and future advancement of technology.

The result of this research work may help school administrators plan professional development activities that will help SDEAS faculty become proficient in the implementation of instructional technology in the classroom. It will serve also as a basis in developing instructional technology competency standards for current and future faculty of SDEAS teaching the Deaf. Such standards will support and advance the expected instructional technology plan as a cornerstone of SDEAS faculty preparation program as well as professional development plan for SDEAS faculty, staff, and administrators.

Filipino Sign Language Idioms Seminar is an initiative of the collaboration of the Deaf Studies Area and the Filipino Sign Language Learning Program (FSLLP). The team consisting of Mr. John Baliza, Ms. Tess Buenaventura, Mr. Ferdinand Vizmanos and Mr. Charvie Arreola “brainstormed” about the FSL idioms which are commonly used by the Deaf in the Filipino Deaf Community as well as the by students and alumni of CSB. The seminar is geared towards making the faculty aware of the FSL idioms and in so doing encourage them to use them in their formal and informal discoverse with the Deaf. It is also aimed at enriching their FSL vocabulary. The effort is just part of a series of Faculty Development activities which started with the Basic Research Skills Seminar held last July 10, 2009. Other seminars with such objectives are forthcoming.
