This study focused on students’ learning activities involving the use of ICT devices based on specific tasks and objectives in a municipality that implemented one-to-one device initiatives prior to the GIGA School Program. First, we conducted a comparative analysis of students’ information literacy from fifth grade elementary to third-grade junior high school, alongside teachers’ abilities to integrate ICT into teaching. Second, we examined teachers’ ICT abilities across various dimensions, including school type, age, teaching experience, and years of experience with ICT in both public and private sectors. The findings revealed the following: 1) Junior high school students perceived themselves as more proficient in ICT usage than fifth- and sixth-grade elementary school students; 2) Students generally rated their ICT capabilities higher than those of their teachers; 3) Junior high school teachers demonstrated greater proficiency in ICT integration compared to elementary school teachers; and 4) Teachers with moderate and extensive experience using ICT devices in the public and private sectors were significantly more confident in their ICT teaching abilities.
