Abstract: This research study delved into the comprehensive examination of the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) among Grade 6 teachers in Taft and Sulat Districts, focusing on its role in facilitating Distance Learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing an adapted survey questionnaire distributed through Google Forms, the study aimed to gather both demographic profiles and insights into the extent of ICT utilization by Grade 6 teachers. The research findings, based on a Grand Mean of 3.81, unequivocally indicated a high level of ICT integration among Grade 6 teachers. The correlation analysis, conducted at a significance level of 0.05, identified specific demographic factors—educational attainment, length of service, and position—as influential contributors to the observed extent of ICT use. Notably, these factors underscore the nuanced relationship between educators’ backgrounds and their embrace of technology in the instructional process. Building upon these results, the researcher recommends further exploration through additional tests, including the incorporation of qualitative data to triangulate findings. Additionally, expanding the investigation to encompass other Key Stages beyond Grade 6 is proposed to offer a more holistic understanding of ICT integration across various educational levels. This study contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on technology’s role in education, emphasizing the need for nuanced investigations into the factors shaping teachers’ engagement with ICT during the pandemic and beyond.
