 A. INTRODUCTION

Computer literacy is one of the useful knowledge we can learn in todays world. computer literacy can also mean how well someone knows how to use computer programs
and other computer-related tools. Knowing how computers work is another important part of being computer literate. In wealthy countries, being able to use computers well
is very helpful.

B. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In today's world, it's really important for schools to teach students about computers and how to use them well. Computer literacy includes a broad range of skills, such as
digital communication, information retrieval, fundamental hardware and software understanding, and the capacity to assess and utilize digital resources critically. Not only
are these areas of expertise necessary for finishing assignments and research projects, but they are also necessary for engaging in a labor market that is becoming more and
more reliant on technology.. This research paper aims to inform students about their low computer literacy and its impact on their learning procces This includes things like
using the internet, sending emails, and creating documents. For students studying subjects related to information and communication technology (ICT), it's especially crucial
to have a good understanding of these computer skills.
This study wants to look closely at this idea, and it plans to gather detailed information through methods like interviews or surveys. The main idea behind the study is that
being good at using computers helps students show what they know in a better way. If students are skilled in computer use, they can create, share, and explain information
more effectively, which is a big plus for their school performance.
 C. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aims to know how useful computer literacy on academic performance of senior high students.

We want to hear the answers in the following questions:

1. What are the respondents' demographics?

1.1 gender

1.2 track and strand

2. How well do the respondents know how to use computers?

2.1 can the respondents use the web?

2.2 can the respondents use some programs?

3. Is there a strong link between the respondent's ability to use computers and how well they do in their academics

D. HYPOTHESIS

❖Hi/POSITIVE
Being good at computer is a good skill to learn. It makes life easier, helps you do your job/studies better, and keeps you connected to the world around you. So, it's a super
useful skill to have.
❖Ho/NEGATIVE
With easy access to internet, students may use this to cheat or be vaunerable the risks that the internet has. But this can be prevented with clear guidance on responsible
computer use and a balanced approach to education that combines both traditional and digital learning methods.
 E. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study aims to provide valuable information on how Computer Literacy can affect individual knowledge and its relevance in the field of education.

The results of the study will be beneficial to the following:

• For the STUDENTS, this study will provide guidance and knowledge to the students whose struggling of how to understand and use a Computer. By understanding the
basics and have good practices. It may improve the academic achievements of the students.

• For the TEACHERS, the study will be useful for teachers that utilizes The Online Learning System. That they can still teach the students via online class when there is
a problem that the face to face class cannot be held or do.

• And for the FUTURE RESEARCHERS, the results of this research may be a basis or reference of further studies and can be used as related literature

F. SCOPES AND DELIMITATION

• This research study aims to:

Help the students of granby colleges to understand more about computers so they can use it to help them in their academics.

• This research is limited only for:

This study will only be conducted inside of granby colleges.
G. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Conceptual model of the study

The independent variable (iv) and independent variable (dv) models are used in this work. Computer literacy skills, mainly Microsoft Office
skills, make up the IV. In DV, they can be used to guess what might happen. The DV is made up of how well senior high school students at Granby
College did in school. This outcome variable depends on how well the interviewees know how to use computers. The IV and DV's possible
connection is looked into.
 H .DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT):This term covers technology for managing telecommunications, broadcast media, audio-visual processing and transmission,
intelligent building management, network-based control, and monitoring.

• Computer Skills: The skills and knowledge needed to use computers successfully. This encompasses operating systems, software, the internet, email, and document creation.

• Internet: links millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks worldwide. It permits information interchange via websites, email, social media, and
online platforms.

• Emails: Short for electronic mails. Emails are sent using computer networks. People use them to transmit and receive messages, documents, and multimedia.
• Documents: This means using computer tools to make digital files or papers.
• Computer literacy: The skills and knowledge needed to use computers. It involves learning computer basics, operating systems, and common software.
 A. FOREIGN LITERATURES

• Murnane, Sawhill, and Snow (2013) say that young Americans must know how to use computers in order to do well in many subjects, such as history, science, and math.
Students can get a lot of knowledge, do research, and improve their critical thinking skills by knowing how to use computers and other digital tools well. This, in turn,
helps them do better in school and has a positive effect on their general success in college.

• A study done by Zheng (2016) of first-year college students found that CIL was high. It was said that motivation for learning (MOL) and self-directed learning (SDL)
were low, though. The school Readiness Program (ARP) is suggested as a way to improve ODL and boost school performance. This shows how important it is to give
students support and guidance to help them get better at self-regulating their learning in online settings.

• Carter, Greenberg, and Walker (2017) investigated the impact of computer usage on academic performance in a blended learning environment. They found that higher task
self-efficacy and the use of learning strategies were associated with better academic performance. However, task self-efficacy and learning strategy use were not
significantly related during specific subtasks. Overall, task self-efficacy, learning strategy use, and past performance emerged as important predictors of task performance.
This suggests that fostering students' task self-efficacy and equipping them with effective learning strategies can positively influence their academic performance in
computer-related tasks.

B. LOCAL LITERATURES

• (Lorenzo, 2016) says that project monitoring should be done on a daily basis to keep an eye on how the project is going and help the schools with any issues that come
up with the project. More durable, high-quality, and cost-effective units and equipment should be given to the school so that they don't have to pay as much for repairs
and upkeep and electricity. Teachers should also get extra training to make sure they fully understand the skills needed to integrate ICT.

• (Jennifer, 2022) In their study, Informant 3 talked about how she liked using computers. She said, "I didn't know how to type when I was in school." The first time we
did something in Excel that I didn't know how to do, I was in 10th grade. Even though I got lost, I learned more in my final year of high school. You were given power
in 12th grade. Now that we live in a high-tech world, most of the work I do involves computers, so knowing how to use them is helpful because it makes my job easy.
I think the point is to get us ready for the future.
 METHODOLOGY
• This chapter presents the procedures adapted by the researchers to explain in details the research design, source of data, statistical treatment and data gathering
procedure.
A. RESEARCH DESIGN

• The main tool for this study was a questionnaire that was used in a descriptive-correlation research method. It asked the students how they felt about using
computers and how much they knew about Word Processing, Spreadsheets, Presentations, and General Computing. Then, the students' computer skills were
compared to see if there were any big differences when they were paired by how they felt about computers. It was also found out what issues and problems the
student respondents had and what answers they came up with to deal with those issues and problems. The study was also correlational, since the student
respondents' academic performance (based on their Mean Percentage Score) in the first and second quarters was linked to how well they knew how to use
computers in the areas where a significant linear relationship could be found.

C. DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

• Our goal is to find out how much computer computer literacy senior high school students and if this can benefit on their academic success because not all
Granby Colleges students are very good with computers. through using thematic analysis to collect data, talking to our respondants interviews, and giving them
an open-ended survey about whether or not knowing how to use computers can help them do better in school. Interviews are recorded on audio and video with
the participants' permission so that subtleties of tone, expression, and feeling can be captured.
