CHAPTER V
Conclusions and Recommendations
This chapter summarizes the conclusions and recommendations emanating
from this study. It begins by looking at a summary of the initial aims and objectives
and a synopsis of the literature findings. It then includes a brief discussion
presented according to each of the main research questions followed by the
outcomes of this study. The lessons learned, the strengths, the weaknesses and
the special contributions of this study are covered in this section. it concludes with
a list of recommendations.
Summary
The research topic for this study is:
Percentage Rate of Computer Literacy Among G11-ICT Students of
Lamian National High School, School Year 2019-2020
Being computer literate gives the learner an opportunity to excel in rapidly
changing environment in technology. As today’s society is becoming more and
more dependent on new technology, increasing attention is given to computer
literacy. Today, computer play a big role in education especially in developing
countries like the Philippines. Perhaps computer literacy may improve the
knowledge and ability of students for higher academic performance. The
occurrence of computer literacy continuous to grow at an outstanding rate.
According to the research we conducted in G11-ICT students through
questionnaires, mostly of the students are very literate when it comes to basic
computer skills. Just few of them are not literate. The study revealed that students
from Lamian National High School especially G11-ICT students are actively
participating in computer classes that makes them very literate in using computer
hardware and software applications.
The percentage rate of computer literacy of the respondents were
adequate. Most of them were very literate, some are slightly literate while few are
not literate. Some respondents were therefore unable to effectively utilise the
learning opportunities associated with computer assisted instruction. There
appears to be a need for computer literacy training. It is therefore apparent to
improve the computer literacy of the learners at the college.
Conclusion
The study concludes that the students are very literate when it comes to
basic computer skills. The percentage rate of computer literacy of G11-ICT are
very high. Mostly of the respondents answered very literate which prove the high
percentage rate of their computer literacy .
It shows that almost of the students has the ability to do task using computer
very literately. They can easily manipulate computer basic skills like using
assembling and disassembling computer hardware which is one of the important
skill they should know. They are also expert and very literate in using computer
software applications such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint Presentation which
is helpful in their academic activities like project and research making.
It appears that they are quick in learning computer skills. The teacher also
teaches the students very well that their students are listening attentively in their
discussion towards their subjects that deals with computer literacy.
Recommendations
1. Teacher should focus on teaching the studends about computer skills specially
in using Spreadsheet and Multimedia Applications.
According to the findings in table 1, 8% of the respondents are not literate
in using spreadsheet application and using multimedia application. As a researcher
we must recommend that they should study hard in this sector of computer literacy.
The teacher should pay more attention in teaching this kind of computer skill.
Because this skill would be helpful to the students when the time comes that they
are working especially jobs that uses computer. Mostly of the respondents are very
literate in using computer especially in basic skills but we still recommend that they
must study hard too and the teachers must keep teaching their students in using
computer, both hardware and software application.
2. Students should focus in their studies especially in computer classes.
As a learner, enable to be literate in computer they should focus and pay
more attention in their classes. They should listen carefully to what their teacher is
discussing. The research shows that the respondents are very literate but it is
important to maintain their knowledge and keep improving it.
