SubmittedNOW IMPORTANT 10 11 11.6.23 The Effect of Computer Literacy To The Academic Performance of Senior High School

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Computers have unquestionably become an essential component of senior high school

education, with many benefits at the same time as certain drawbacks that have a significant
impact on students' academic achievement. Positively, computers provide pupils with
unparalleled access to knowledge. A plethora of resources for research and self-directed learning
are available on the internet, when combined with instructional software and digital libraries. This
accessibility encourages critical thinking and independent research, two abilities that are
essential for academic achievement. This will enable the investigation to determine if senior high
school pupils' use of computers is beneficial or detrimental.
Nonetheless, there may be drawbacks to computers being used in classrooms so widely.
The distraction element is one major worry. Students' attention can be drawn away from their
academic work by social media, online gaming, and entertainment websites, which can cause
them to procrastinate and lose focus. Establishments can learn more about how students are
currently using computers by conducting a benchmark survey. This will demonstrate the
researchers' efforts.
To guarantee a smooth integration of computers into the educational ecosystem,
cooperation between educators, parents, and students is crucial in the formulation and execution
of these solutions.
By carefully weighing the benefits and drawbacks of computers in senior high school and
implementing targeted interventions, it is possible to enhance both academic achievement and
digital citizenship.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
An overview of the research and literature currently available on the effect of

computer literacy on senior high school students’ academic performance is given in this
section. It seeks to provide a thorough background for the ongoing study.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Academic Performance
Garcia and Martinez (2019) investigated the impact of the digital divide on
academic attainment. According to their findings, students who do not have access to
computers or the internet frequently struggle academically. Bridging the digital divide
and increasing computer literacy among disadvantaged pupils are highlighted as critical
factors in leveling the academic playing field.
In a unique perspective, Williams and Robinson (2020) examined the role of
parental involvement in fostering computer literacy among high school students. Their
study investigated how parental support, guidance, and computer-related activities at
home can positively impact students' computer skills and, subsequently, their academic
performance.
Jones and Martin (2019) investigated the relationship between students' attitudes
toward technology and their motivation to achieve academic achievement. Their
research found that students who have a good attitude toward computer literacy are
more motivated to use educational technology and achieve higher academic
performance.
Computer Literacy
Anderson and Smith (2022) conducted a comprehensive review of computer
literacy training programs implemented in senior high schools. Their study focused on
the effectiveness of such programs in enhancing computer skills and, consequently,
their impact on academic performance. The findings emphasized the need for well-
structured computer literacy training initiatives to maximize educational benefits.
Smith and Harris (2018) performed a survey of high school students' academic
use of online resources and learning platforms. Their study emphasized the various
digital learning tools accessible and how students' ability in computer literacy interacts
with successful utilization of these resources to improve academic achievement.
Smith and Foster (2021) carried out a long-term investigation on the impact of
computer literacy on college preparation among high school seniors. Their study
showed a solid connection between high levels of computer literacy and preparation for
college, highlighting the need for early computer skill development.
Harris and Brown (2019) did a meta-analysis of various computer literacy
treatments for high school pupils. Their research revealed successful methods, such as
computer workshops, online tutorials, and teacher training programs, that improved
computer literacy and, as a result, academic achievement.
Davis and Patel (2019) evaluated the use of online learning platforms and their
impact on high school students' academic results. According to their findings, students
with excellent computer literacy abilities were better suited to navigate and succeed in
online learning environments, emphasizing the relevance of computer skills in adjusting
to various methods of education.
