—— This study aims to investigate the effects of the utilization of Television (TV) as an instructional tool to teaching effectiveness and academic performance of learners in public elementary schools of Surigao del Sur Division. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, a total of forty-five (45) teachers from a district were completely enumerated and three-hundred one (301) learners were randomly sampled using Stratified Random Sampling. Researcher-made survey questionnaires, with five-point Likert scale items, were used to measure the extent of TV utilization as an instructional tool and extent of teaching effectiveness when using TV. These were subjected to pilot test that resulted to Cronbach alpha greater than 0.70. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, and Spearman rho coefficients were used for the analysis of data. Results showed that civil status, position, years in teaching and trainings of teachers significantly correlate to the extent of TV utilization, teaching effectiveness, and learners’ academic performance. Moreover, correlation analysis also posited significant interrelationships among the extent of TV utilization, the teaching effectiveness, and the learners’ academic performance. Moreover, areas needing further enhancements include the collaborative and technical aspects of TV utilization which provides inputs to the proposed program of the study. Consequently, both the findings and output of the study may be used by DepEd management in consideration to its present efforts towards technology integration as an effective strategy to improve teaching and learning process
