Abstract: Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has transformed the traditional classroom into an innovative educational resource. It has converted everybody’s needs to electronic forms, from book to ebook, learning to e-learning, and recently the general paper-pen tests/exams into the electronic assessment. Hence, investigating the utilization of mobile applications with technology-enhanced assessment (TEA) tool can help teachers enhance their knowledge and skills in using technology for classroom assessment. The researcher employed the descriptive research design and IPO approach in developing the TEA tool. Frequency count, percentage, and weighted mean was used to analyze and interpret the gathered data. The study involved 116 grade 5 teachers in the East Unit of the Schools Division of Ilocos Norte. Results revealed that most teachers have already earned units in their master's degree, have taught for 10 years, and have participated in local training and seminars related to ICT, Assessment, Content and Classroom management. Among the 10 identified available mobile applications with the TEA tool, the teachers sometimes use Kahoot It!, Google Quiz, Plickers, and Quizziz and they never utilized Quizalize, Socratives, Poll Everywhere, Quizlet, Padlet, and Edmodo. As to teachers' level of proficiency in the utilization of mobile applications with the TEA tool, most of them are at the Entry Level. The respondents agreed that they encounter the issues and concerns under accessibility, usability, and connectivity. The improvement plan is found very highly valid in addressing teachers' issues and concerns. Hence, the Improvement Plan on the Utilization of Mobile Applications with the Technology-enhanced Assessment (TEA) tool is recommended for possible adoption to help teachers develop their skills in using ICT for classroom assessment.
