Abstract Digital infrastructure impacts teaching practices and school reform, leading to better access and use of educational resources. This study investigates the teachers' practices on digital infrastructure toward schools’ digital capacity and transformation aimed to evaluate respondents' digital infrastructure, schools' capacity, teachers' practices' impact on digital infrastructure, and the relationship between these factors and their characteristics among teachers of Initao District, during the School Year 2023-2024. A stratified random sampling of 200 elementary and secondary school teachers/respondents employed a patterned and modified questionnaire using descriptive statistics, such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, to describe the variable in the study. Furthermore, Pearson's correlation (r) and t-test were also employed to determine the relationships and each difference in the variables used in the study. This study applied a quantitative research method on numerical data and statistical analysis to investigate the relationships between variables and describe the characteristics of the sample population.
The result shows that most respondents were 26–35 years old, female, married, with MA units, 6-15 years of teaching experience, teacher 1 in position, and attended training at the district/school level. The study indicates high practices in digital capacity for teaching effectiveness, while the school's digital capacity and transformation are highly regarded in terms of teachers' attributes and professional development. Access to digital infrastructure, digital pedagogical skills, technical support, infrastructure maintenance, and teaching effectiveness significantly affect digital capacity and transformation. At the same time, the highest educational attainment and training/seminars attended on digital infrastructure showed a significant relationship towards teaching effectiveness and their profiles. The study concludes that there is a direct link between effective teaching and appropriate use of digital resources; hence, there is a vital importance of teacher training and continuous support in fully harnessing the benefits of digital infrastructure in education. It is recommended that schools prioritize teacher training, increased funding, improved digital literacy, and collaborative curriculum alignment for effective technology integration.
