The statistical treatments employed were frequency distribution, percentage and weighted mean to determine the profile of the respondents. Pearson Correlation was employed to determine the relationship between Profile and Management, obstacle occurrence and management strategies in terms of planning, integrating, professional development, control and budgeting. T-test was used to determine the differences of the perception of both faculty and administrators as respondents. In State Universities and Colleges of ARMM, the typical faculty of the State Universities and Colleges in Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao is instructor, female, married, masters’ degree holder, with 19-21 units and has been teaching for 1-5 years. The response of the faculty and administrators of SUC-ARMM in the management strategies on integrating technology into instruction in moderately implemented in terms of planning, professional development, integrating technology, control and budgeting. Generally, the management strategy of technology integration into instruction is moderately efficient and effective. These data can guide institutions to examine their current technology practices and provide grounds to make sound technology-related decisions that can maximize student learning. To better understand the integration of technology into instruction, some authors have approached the topic from change management and diffusion of innovation perspectives rather than introducing new technologies, Kershaw (1996) believes successful technology integration focuses on managing change effectively. Furthermore, due to technologies importance in State, Universities and Colleges, the study identified the obstacles to the integration of technology into instruction that would be an important step in improving the quality of instruction. As such, power interruption and fluctuation which cause damages to the technology resources and outdated network and poor connectivity are the leading obstacles. 93 RASHDI M.

Moreover, the relationship between respondent’s profile Finally, the proposed management model for and management strategies were statistically significant integrating technology in instruction is recommended only to “academic rank and management control” and for the SUCs not only in the ARMM but for all those in “Educational attainment and professional development” the MINSUPALA region. Thus, obstacles greatly affect the management strategies in integrating technology into instruction. THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE However, the correlation coefficient was negative Rationale which implies that as the management increases its State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) have three focal efficiency and effectiveness, the more reduction of functions such as instruction, research and extension. obstacles. As a results of the relationship among Lately, production by way of income generating management strategies, indicated a highly significant to programs has emerged to augment the limited all management strategies, it is further concluded that, budgetary assistance extended by the government to all management strategies are interrelated in terms of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). planning, professional development, integrating technology, control and budgeting. Thus, there were no Instruction focuses on the process of facilitating the differences in the perception and response of the faculty acquisition of knowledge and skills to develop the and administrators in all variables. analytical and creative faculties of learners. It also includes other specific tasks, such as student As far as the results of the study are concerned, the consultation, academic advising, and all other initiatives following recommendations to administrators, faculty, that facilitate the process of learning. Thus, instruction the community, researchers, and students are hereby is grounded in an understanding of how people learn. enumerated; 1) The State University and Colleges in Instruction begins with an assessment of what students need to strengthen the professional development of the already know, and builds new concepts on their existing faculty to pursue higher education in order to be ready knowledge. Differentiation provides students with for all challenges in their field of endeavour as their varied experiences to engage with content. At the service lengthens, and as their experience ready for beginning of the new century, higher education taking the next step in Technology Integration in institutions faced a set of pervasive challenges and preparation for 21st century global context 2) The opportunities brought about by the changing global management strategies on integrating technology into economic and social conditions. The closing years of instruction in State University and Colleges should the 20th century were characterized by knowledge include the corporate strategy for technology sourcing explosion, scientific breakthroughs, and technological and financial support based on inputs from available advancement, particularly in information and technology and management as a whole. All the communication, and rapid technology diffusion. management strategies are interrelated and should be addressed as one in terms of planning, integrating In line with the thrust of education for sustainable technology, professional development, control and development, the Commission on Higher Education budgeting including corporate strategies. Failure of one (CHED) adopted a project called the Centers of leads to the failure of the entire management. 4) in Excellence. It is an inherent mandate of the CHED as order to minimize or reduce the occurrence of obstacles outlined in Republic Act 7722 (Higher Education Act). in technology integration, the management should The Centers of Excellence project aims to identify strengthen and increase in terms of implementation, institutions with qualities indicating excellence in efficiency and effectiveness. As management increases, instruction, research and extension. These institutions the occurrence of obstacles decreases. 5) Faculty with are supported by CHED to attain world-class levels. highest academic rank and educational attainment are Colleges and universities are making sizable good managers and administrators in implementing investments in computer-related technologies to support technology integration. 6) there is a need to conduct and enhance instruction (Massy & Zemsky, 1996). further study on technology, learning and leading to However, many faculty simply are not using technology educational imperatives for a 21st century. This is into instruction (Rice & Miller, 2001). recognizing the changes in environment that are possible as a result of the presence of technology and its On the other hand Technology can and does help potential impact on learning the proposed programs and students develop all kinds of skills-from the basic to the model in the management of integrating technology. 7) higher-order critical
