Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines had to implement remote learning to ensure that education continued. One of the primary methods of teaching was Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI), but the readiness of teachers to use it determined its effectiveness. This study aimed to assess the readiness of DepEd Mathematics teachers to use CAI during the pandemic. The research was conducted using a descriptive correlational research design, and data was gathered through an online survey questionnaire. The results indicated that DepEd Mathematics teachers were highly prepared to use CAI, with equipment and connectivity being the main contributors to their readiness. However, some teachers faced challenges using CAI, especially those with low technical skills and limited access to training and support. These findings suggest that the DepEd must provide sufficient training and support to ensure that all teachers have the necessary skills to effectively use CAI.
