A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted on 201 both male and female Elementary School Teachers (ESTs) that were selected from public sector elementary schools of district Lahore through random sampling. The researchers developed an observational check list that consisted of three sub-scales (i.e. Knowledge & understanding, disposition, and performance & skills).The psychometric properties of each subscale showed that the observational checklist is valid and reliable to measure teachers’competence in ECPUICT. Different statistical techniques were applied to analyze the data i.e. mean score, standard deviation, and an independent sample t-test. The findings showed the majority of ESTs are moderately competent in ECPUICT. However, there was a significant gender-based difference in two factors of ECPUICT (disposition and performance & skills) while an insignificant difference in ESTs’ knowledge and understanding regarding ECPUICT. Hence, overall a significant difference between male and female ESTs competence level in ECPUICT was found. It is to be suggested that the concerned educational authorities should take steps to enhance the competence level of ESTs by indulging them in different training programs such as seminars, workshops, in-service training, professional development training, etc.  \nKeywords: Competence, teachers’ competence, effective communication, information communication technologies.  \n*  \nAssistant Professor, Institute of Education and Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan.

[Email:aqeela_phd@yahoo.com](Email:aqeela_phd@yahoo.com)  \nIntroduction & Background  \nThe investigators believed that quality of education is based on different constructs that are related to teacher and curriculum. These constructors are teachers’ knowledge, teachers’ qualification, teachers’ communication skills, teachers’ skills to use technologies, and curriculum (Haider et al., 2015; Tomlinson, 2005) . Moreover, Singh (2007) believed that the quality of education depends on the competence of teachers. However, the quality of education seems impossible without having an in-depth subject matter knowledge and pedagogical skills of a teacher. Teachers are considered as change agents that play a significant role to enhance the quality of education while teachers' main role is to transfer knowledge to others. Bhargava (2005) and Agra (2005) stated that students’ academic performance, as well as quality of education, depends upon teachers’competence. An effective teacher is loyal to his/her work and would have abilities to communicate, and skills to use technologies (Cruickshank et al., 2005) . Hence, Sujathamalinia (2007) assumed that a competent teacher has good subject matter knowledge, abilities to communicate, and skills to use technologies.  \nCompetence depends upon knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to execute throughout the job while teacher competence is the practical skills and proficient abilities needed to transfer knowledge. A teacher is known for his/her competence such as intensive subject matter knowledge, good pedagogical abilities, and skills to use technologies that are helpful to convey the messages (Haider et al., 2015; Kumari & Srivastava, 2005; Levpuscek & Peklaj, 2007; Rychen & Salganick, 2003) .
