Relation of Computer Literacy to Student's Academic Performance
Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter presents the problem and its background, the statement of the problem, the assumption, and the definition of terms that will be helpful to the readers.
Those who have not taken the time to learn about computers often do not even know what to do once one has been turned on, and this problem should be corrected. That is why all high schools must make a computer literacy course a requirement for graduation. Although a computer course would take away two or three periods of a high school student's weekly schedule, it will be well worth it in the real world with so many careers today involving a knowledge of a computer's basic functions, computer literacy plays a big part in job security If a potential employee comes along demonstrating outstanding computer skills, he or she may take a job that formerly belonged to another employee if that employee doesn't even know how to check his e-mail A good computer class would teach the basics of computers: typing a document in a word processor, running a specified program, and using a modem to check e-mail and access the Internet. Personal computers now have a tremendous entertainment value due to their versatility Not only can a computer do all the things that are unique to computers, it can be a television and a radio as well. (Rhys, 2008)
Today, we are now living in the modernization of many things. That’s why we need to pursue to for the cause that we can be literate in the fields of computer. Computer in such a different way of using can make us more literate and more advance in technology. The Filipinos want to have a better and more just living with the help of computer. To have those things that most of us wants, we need to be patient enough to reach the peak of the mountain.
Literacy in English language and in computer is the most and good quality that we can give through service in our country. We tend to look for a computer job for us to be
