Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine what personal information need further explanation on the utilization of DepEd computerization program in terms of; (1) purpose of computer usage, (2) indicated computer skills, (3) type of software for teaching and learning, (4) educational software by subject, (5) types of peripherals, (6) teaching and learning activities by subject and (7) internet usage of teachers and students. Further, to find out the significant difference between the utilization of DepEd computerization program when they are grouped according to their personal information variables. A total of 30 EPP/TLE teachers of Binugao District are the respondents were identified through purposive sampling technique. The study utilized explanatory sequential mixed method design. Two methods in collecting the data were utilized, for the quantitative phase the researcher used survey questionnaire in determining the personal information and utilization of DCP. Furthermore, in the qualitative phase the researcher used in-depth interview in gathering the data to identify what school program should be enhanced in utilizing DCP efficiently. On the quantitative analysis, there is no significant difference between the utilization of DepEd computerization program when they are grouped according to their personal information variables. In addition, the quantitative findings were follow-up by the qualitative findings. Thus, it was found that the school program to enhance the utilization of DCP efficiently of teachers revealed four major themes namely: (1) resiliency, (2) results-focus, (3) innovation and (4) receptiveness.

Keywords: Deped Computerization Program (DCP), Explanatory Sequential.
