BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In the information era, computers are very crucial. They surely have a
significant influence in many areas. To raise both the standard of teaching and
learning in education. Due to their diverse capabilities, they are employed to
handle a variety of jobs. It aids in resolving issues that people face on a regular
basis.
Cohen (2010) argues that everyone, but especially students, need to be
computer literate. The definition of computer literacy is the knowledge and
competence necessary to effectively utilize computers and related technology.
Incorporate the degree of comfort a person has utilizing computer systems and
apps.
The ability to read and write is the one that gives people the best chance
of participating in social interactions and improving their quality of life (Gul,
2007). According to Reynolds (2008), computer literacy is the ability to grasp
how computers and the internet may improve students' educational experiences
as well as be aware about hardware and software capabilities.
The inability to complete basic tasks like email composition, online
platform login, and even saving work to a thumb or desk drive may indicate a
lack of digital literacy. Without these fundamental competencies, one loses
marketability to future employers and institutions (Jolt, 2018).
2
The goal of this study is to measure the computer literacy level of the
students and how these affects among senior high school students. The
researchers also want to determine the difference between high computer
literate students and low computer literate students in terms of their academic
performance.
Statement of The Problem
General Objectives
This study will determine the levels of computer literacy and the
differences of high-level computer literate and low-level computer literate
students of Senior High School Students in North Valley College Foundation in
their academic performance.
Research Questions:
1.
What are the levels of computer literacy of Senior High School students?
2.
What is the impact of high-level computer literacy on student’s academic
performance?
3.
What is the impact of low-level computer literacy on student’s academic
performance?
3
4.
What is the difference between students who are computer literate and low
computer literate in terms of academic performance?
Significance of the Study
Results of the study will be very beneficial to the following;
To the education, as digital learning continues to expand, computer
literacy is the key factor in education today. This may be useful in assessing
skills and knowledge that enable them to safely navigate and discern all forms
of digital technology as well as the effectiveness of the teaching skills of
teachers which lead to the development of ways to provide better education.
To the school administrators, this may help them determine the
perceived computer literacy skills of senior high school students and integrate
ways to respond to the result of this study.
To the teachers, this study may be useful for observing their students
both inside and outside the classroom. Because this study may also have a
significant relationship in regard to their computer literacy and their academic
achievements, it would also assist educators in providing additional attention to
their students' computer literacy.
To the students, particularly senior high school students, this study
would be extremely beneficial as it could provide them with useful information
4
about their fellow students' computer literacy and whether it is positively
correlated with their academic achievements. The data in this study would give
them some ideas about how important computer literacy is to their education
and how it relates to their academic success.
To the researchers, providing them with beneficial data and information
for the study. The study's completion will be facilitated by the data results that
will be gathered. Additionally, this will provide a deeper comprehension of the
connection between senior high school students' academic success and
computer literacy.
To the future researchers, they may gain ideas or inspiration from this
study regarding the relationship between a student's academic achievements
and computer literacy. If this study yields such significant results, it could
potentially widen the scope of studies on computer literacy even further in the
future.
Scope and Delimitations
The study generally focuses on finding the levels of computer literacy of
Senior High School students and its impact on their academic performance.
Then what is the difference between students who are computer literate and low
computer literate in terms of academic performance. The level of computer
literacy of the respondents will be described in terms of attitude toward the
5
computer, identification of computer parts, and use of Microsoft Offices. The
respondents will be Senior High School Students from North Valley College
Foundation. The sample students were randomly selected from the overall
population of Senior High School students.
Operational Definition of Terms
For better understanding on this paper the following terms to be used in
this study are defined conceptually and operationally.
Academic Performance - is the measurement of student achievement across
various academic subject. How students deal with their studies and how
they cope with or accomplish different tasks given to them by their
teachers.
Computer Literacy - is defined as the knowledge and ability to utilize
computers and related technology efficiently. In this study, it serves as
the independent variable.
High-level Computer Literate - a person that has advanced computer skills,
knowledgeable of, and able to do various computer tasks.
Literacy - is the ability to read and write, or to having knowledge about a specific
subject.
6
Low-level Computer Literate - a person that has less knowledge and
understanding on basic skills about computers or not being able to use
computers at all.
Hypothesis of the Study
HO: There is no difference between students who are computer literate and low
computer literate in terms of academic performance.
HA: There is a difference between students who are computer literate and low
computer literate in terms of academic performance.
Theoretical Framework
Computer literacy, which is typically defined as understanding a
computer and being able to use one, is still evolving as educators and lay
persons struggle to define what computer literacy is.
According to Johnson 1980 et al. computer literacy: imparts knowledge
about handling information, dispels fears and myths associated with computers,
develops skills in using and programming a computer, develops procedural
learning, addresses the ethical and societal issues raised by computing.
Computer literacy is fundamentally dependent on a commitment to
learning about and working with computers. Most importantly, it requires
learning how to use a computer to put your thoughts into action.
7
Computer Literacy in Higher Education
Several associations and commissions have studied the use of
computers in higher education. The President's Science Advisory Committee
concluded that if educational computing is to find a useful place in colleges and
universities, course material in the various disciplines will need substantial
revision (National Science Foundation and Department of Education 1980).

literate students. It sought to determine their computer literacy skill levels and
how these affects in the criterion variable which is the student’s academic
performance.
The researchers will measure the respondent's level of computer literacy
through a objective assessment based on the respondents’ self -evaluation of
their own skills. The result of this study will provide concrete figures on the
current levels of computer literacy of Senior High School students in North
Valley College Foundation based on their own perception as well as its impact
on their academic performances.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This review of the literature is concentrated in two (2) major areas: (a)
the widespread use of computers in education, and (b) computer literacy skills.
Review of Related Studies
The Widespread Use of Computers in Education
The study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education (2010), in
order to appropriately educate students to live and act in the world in which they
are growing up, the content and organization of education must effectively
incorporate technology. Voogt and Pelgrum (2005) agreed that curriculum has
to be modified in order for students to build competences that would enable
them live in the twenty-first century. However, serious academic study is
required to identify how digital education might be intentionally and successfully
employed to positively improve learning and teaching across subject matter
areas.
According to Onuoha's (2019) study, ICTs have had an impact on the
area of education, affecting learning and research as well as the general
processes of knowledge transfer and receiving. ICTs have the ability to
innovate, expand, enhance, and deepen skills, as well as to encourage and
10
engage students, educators, and anyone else involved in information exchange.
There has also been much written and published regarding the influence of
technology,
particularly
computer-enabled
gadgets,
on
communication
practices. As computers and technological applications grew increasingly
prevalent in society, there was worry about the need for computing and ICT
skills in everyday life.
According to the study of Laguador (2013), the academic community
should encourage extra-curricular computer technology activities that assist
students comprehend the significance of having high functional computer
literacy without compromising the health of end-users. Parents and guardians
are reasonably persuaded to have computer units at home and some laptops to
use in school for educational purposes, but they must be extra cautious of their
children's virtual entertainment activities and must have warned their children to
consider the negative health effects of engaging long periods on computers.
Computer Literacy Skills
Computer literacy, according to some researchers, is the understanding
of computers—including how they operate, how they are utilized, and how they
affect society (Johnson, Anderson, Hansen, & Klassen, 1980). The capacity to
interact with computers and a thorough understanding of the significance of
11
computers in society should also be included in computer literacy (Anderson,
1982).
Review of Related Literatures
The Widespread Use of Computers in Education
Mbaeeze et al. in their publication (2010). Consider that the academic
performance of senior high school students is impacted by information and
communication technology (ICT). Senior high school students are permitted to
see a technology daily in the classroom to learn about computers. It is the
responsibility of all educators to promote computer literacy since, in the modern
world, no civilization can develop to its full potential without it.
As per Jarvis et al. (2015), today, senior high school students are
expected to be computer literate and capable of functioning successfully in a
digital environment. This demonstrates the need to integrate computer literacy
in the concept of academic literacy in order to give it a deeper, more
comprehensive meaning.
A other articles make abundantly clear, both the processing and the uses
of in formation are undergoing an unprecedented technological revolution. Not
only are machines now able to deal with many kinds of information at high speed
and in large quantities but also it is possible to manipulate these quantities of
12
information so as to benefit from them in entirely novel ways. This is perhaps
nowhere truer than in the field of education. One can predict that in a few more
years millions of school children will have access to what Philip of Macedon's
son Alexander enjoyed as a royal prerogative: the personal services of a tutor
as well-informed and responsive as Aristotle.
The basis for this seemingly extravagant prediction is not apparent in
many examinations of the computer's role in education today. In themselves,
how ever, such examinations provide impressive evidence of the importance of
computers on the educational scene. As an example, a recent report of the
National Academy of Sciences states that by mid-1965 more than 800
computers were in service on the campuses of various American universities
and that these institutions spent $175 million for computers that year. (Patrick
Suppes, Scientific American 215 (3), 206-223, 1966)
Computer Literacy Skills
The need for computer literacy skills is growing in the modern world, both
in the business and in society at large. It covers every period of life, from infancy
to old age, which highlights the need of computer-relevant subjects in education
even more. (“Computer literacy across the lifespan: a review with implications
for educators” by Timothy A. Poynton, Department of Developmental Studies
and Counseling, Poynton, Two Sherborn Street, Boston, MA, USA)
13
According to Wilson W. Kenson, having computer skills paves the way
for success in a field of technology that is always evolving. Computer literacy,
according to Reynolds (2007), entails knowing the potential of computers and
the internet as well as being aware of the capabilities of hardware and software.
There are many levels of computer literacy, ranging from basic
computer usage to advanced programming, and one may not realize that
his child has fallen behind. To ensure one has a grasp of basic computer
literacy, ensure that he is capable of the following: turning a computer on
and off, using an operating system, operating software applications, using
the
internet,
and navigating
a
computer
using
menus
and
search
functionality (Leonard, 2019). Accordingly, computer competency is a
process whereby a student demonstrates his ability to perform school-level
basic computing work. In order to prove basic computer competence, a
student must demonstrate proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and
basic computing.
Locally, the K–12 education curriculum is often fully implemented, with
a focus on practical skills that enable students operate in today's environment.
For instance, the Technical Vocational and Livelihood Track's Computer
Systems Servicing (CSS) ICT-related strand aims to improve the knowledge,
abilities, and attitudes of a Computer Service Technician in line with industry
standards (samson.edu).
14
In
his
position
paper,
"Developing
Information
Communication
Technology Curriculum Standards for K–12 Schools in the Philippines,"
Bonifacio (2013) takes into account the process of deciding how Filipino
students would learn ICT concepts and capabilities so they may get the most
out of their education. According to him, "well defined curriculum standards" are
necessary for K-12 implementation, and "much more funding is needed as much
more learning is expected.”
To support with this, the Department of Education (DepEd) is putting the
DepEd Internet Connectivity Project (DICP) into action in accordance with
DepEd Order Number 50, series of 2009, initially among secondary schools and
later expanded to the elementary level in accordance with the DepEd
Computerization Program (DCP) of DepEd Order No. 78, s. 2010 (Department
of Education, 2011). Through this program and the joint efforts of both public
and private organizations, elementary schools have received e-classrooms and
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been integrated into the
school system to increase student ICT literacy and decrease the computer
backlog in public schools. This demands that learners be computer literate.
METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, respondents of the study, and
sampling procedure. This also includes the research instrument, data gathering
procedure and statistical analysis utilized in this study.
Research Design
This study will employ quantitative non-experimental comparative
research design in order to evaluate the difference between the high and low
level of student’s literacy through a objective self-assessment.
Respondents of the Study
The respondents of this study are the 144 Grade 11 and Grade 12 Senior
High School Students of North Valley College Foundation Inc., School Year
2022-2023. They are the main source of information needed in fulfillment of this
study, wherein the level of their computer literacy is being evaluated.
16
Research Instrument
A survey questionnaire is used to gather the data. This questionnaire
consists of statements and items that will determine their knowledge regarding
their use of computers. The questionnaire is adopted and adapted from CadizGabejan, A. M., 2021.
The first part shows the extent of computer literacy of studentrespondents in the area of word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and
identification of computer parts by using the Likert's scale as follows: Extremely
Literate (EL), Highly Literate (HL), Moderately Literate (ML), Slightly Literate
(SL), Not Literate (NL). Recognition type is also used in identification of
computer parts.
The second part contain attitude toward computer statements which
determine if the computer really have an influence on students' academic
performance which also uses the same scale as follow: Strongly Agree (SA) if
the computer have the most perceived effect on the student, Agree (A) if the
computer have perceived effect on the student, Uncertain (U) if the student is
unsure, Disagree (D) if the computer have less perceived effects on the student,
and Strongly Disagree (SD) if the computer have no perceived effect on the
student.
17
Sampling Procedure
The sample size will be determined through the use of Slovin’s Formula:
n=
N
1 + Ne2
where: n is the sample size
N is the population size
E is the desired margin of error
n=
224
1 + (224) (0.05)2
=
224
1 + (224) (0.0025)
=
224
1 + 0.56
=
224
1.56
n = 144
The respondents per section will be selected utilizing stratified random
sampling. The respondents will consist of 144 out of 224 total populations of
Grade 11 and Grade 12 Senior High School students of North Valley College
Foundation Inc. enrolled during the Academic Year 2022-2023. For Grade 11,
a total of 55 out of 86 students will be our respondents. A total of 4 students
from ABM strand, 11 from ICT strand, 12 from HUMSS strand, and 28 from
STEM strand.
18
For Grade 12, 89 out of 138 students will be our respondents. A total of
14 students from ABM strand, 6 from ICT strand, 21 from HUMSS strand, and
48 from STEM strand.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers first sought authorization through letters of permission
to locale of the study signed by the research adviser and principal. The
researcher will also ask permission to the respondents. After the approval, the
researcher will conduct a survey.
In day 1, the researcher will conduct the first part of survey-questionnaire
that will determine the computer literacy levels of students. After finding out their
levels, the researchers can identify who among the students are high computer
literate and low computer literate. Day 2 will proceed conducting the surveyquestionnaire part II which will determine how computer literacy affects
student’s academic performance.
The researcher will compute and analyze the results. After that submit
the manuscript to the adviser, upon the approval and hard bound for the final
submission.
19
Statistical Analysis
Once the survey questionnaire has been completed by the respondents,
to give meaning to the data, both descriptive and inferential statistical tools will
be used, namely: frequency count, Weighted Mean, Percentage, Standard
Deviation, and the Fisher’s t-Test. In testing the hypotheses, the decision
whether the null hypothesis was accepted or rejected, the following decision
rule served as a guide: accept the null hypothesis if and when the computed
value turned lesser than the critical or tabular value or the p-value turned
greater than the α; on the other hand, reject the null hypothesis if and when the
computed value turned equal or greater than the critical or tabular value or the
p-value turned equal or lesser than the α.
