ABSTRACT
MANLAGÑIT, MARIVIC SAPANTA, “LEVEL OF ATTAINMENT OF THE
OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPUTERIZATION PROGRAM IN JUAN
M. ALBERTO MEMORIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS VIEWED
BY TEACHERS (JMAMES) SCHOOL YEAR 2012-2013” (Master
Thesis, Catanduanes Colleges, Virac, Catanduanes)
This is a descriptive research conducted at the Juan M. Alberto
Memorial Elementary School (JMAMES), during the school year 2012-
2013. The data were given to the teachers by way of answering a
questionnaire that had been validated and listed for reliability. The main
problem was to determine the level of attainment of the objectives of the
computerization program in Juan M. Alberto Memorial Elementary
School. The specific problems that were answered in the study were, (1)
What is the profile of the teacher-respondents as to gender, age, level of
education, number of training/seminar attended related to Information
Technology (IT), and classes taught?, (2) What are the levels of attainment
of the objectives of the computerization program as regards to (a) services
to the pupils, (b) supervisions of the school, (c) administration of the
school, (d) community relations of the schools and (e) problems met?, and
(3) Is there any significant relationship between the profile and the
observation of the teachers on the level of attainment of the objectives of
the computerization program?
The data were tabulated and analyzed statistically and conclusions
and recommendations were given. The findings were (1) the typical is a
female, 40-49 years old, holds a bachelors degree, had attended 2

vii
trainings related to IT, and teachers in regular classes. (2) the most
successfully attained objectives relative to the services to the pupils were
“Computers benefit the development of fundamental skills enables
children to develop and practice a broad range skills to develop their
understanding of cause and effect, higher order problem solving,
procedural thinking, and creative expression” and “Paper work is reduced
to the minimum as all the information is stored in the computer itself” on
the supervision of the school, they were “Computers benefit the
development of fundamental skills enables children to develop and
practice a broad range skills to develop their understanding of cause and
effect, higher order problem solving, procedural thinking, and creative
expression” and “Paper work is reduced to the minimum as all the
information is stored in the computer itself” on the supervision of the
school, they were.”
The data were tabulated, analyzed and were interpreted, conclusion
and recommendations were made.
The findings were: (1) There were 38 female and 5 male teachers
that were included in the study. Majority were females, the ages were
concentrated in the age bracket of 30-39 and 40-49. There were more in
the 40-49 than in the 30-39 group, majority of the teachers were
bachelors degree holders which was having a frequency of 23. Only 1 was
Masters Degree holder. Only attended seminars and trainings on
Information Technology, the highest frequency was in the 2 attendance.

viii
Two teachers have no attendance at all Twenty-three were teaching
regular classes; 7 were subject teachers in SPED; and 4 teach in CWE
class. (2) On the objective for the services to the pupils the most
successfully attained objectives were “Computers benefit the development
of fundamental skills enables children to develop and practice a broad
range skills to develop their understanding of cause and effect, higher
order problem solving, procedural thinking, and creative expression” and
“Paper work is reduced to the minimum as all the information is stored in
the computer itself” the least attained were “Ability to take quick decision
improves considerably as the time for retrieval of information is very fast”
and “Computers have become a vastly popular household item, the
luxury of emailing messages as opposed to charging up the phone bill is
more appealing and checking news, weather, and sports via Internet”. On
the part of supervision while in the administration of the school, the
highest were “Computers enable children to learn through creating, just
as they gain hands-on knowledge and understanding when they build
forts, make up stories, and paint, increase their skills” and “Paper work is
reduced to the minimum as all the information is stored in the computer
itself”. On the relationship with the community the highest were
“Computers benefit the development of fundamental skills enables
children to develop and practice a broad range skills to develop their
understanding of cause and effect, higher order problem solving,
procedural thinking, and creative expression” and “Computers enable

ix
children to learn through creating, just as they gain hands-on knowledge
and understanding when they build forts, make up stories, and paint,
increase their skills”. On the problems met of the school was these data
research that the most strongly agree attained objectives were “After two
years of warranty ICT equipment and peripherals break down, the school
cannot avail of the technical assistance and/or repair services from
DepEd-hired ICT maintenance crew”, “No budget/funds to support for the
replacement of the parts for this equipment”, “Not secured for the natural
calamity all the time and thief”, “There is no CD’s installer for the
recovery of the program provided by the supplier problems met after 2
years of warranty”, and “Simultaneous using of the computer causes
slowdown processing of the program” the least attained were “Cannot
avoid if all the teachers used the computer laboratory the possible
computer virus infection will always be treated”, “There is no enough
space of the hard disk to occupy all the files to be saved by all pupils
activities and teachers”, “Some parents are not cooperating for the
maintenance of the computer laboratory”, “Files cannot save or transfer
to the USB or any removable disk of the personal user to avoid viruses”,
and the disagree attained objective was “Undisciplined pupils are
accidentally broke or cannot be reliable all the time for the equipment
damage. ” (3) Only the number of attendance to seminars trainings and
workshop about IT and the kind of classes the teachers were assigned to

x
teach were related to the views of the teachers about the level of success
in trainings the objective of the computerization program.
The following recommendations were given: (1) More effort must be
exerted in the implementation of the program particularly in the area of
relation with the community. Data showed that the objectives in this area
were the least successfully attained. (2) Need additional computer units to
realize the implementation and integration of the computerization
program in any subject. (3) Additional one month training for the ICT
School Coordinator for the maintenance/repair of the DCP program
equipment. (4) Need and additional budget from the government for these
DCP project not only for two years warranty. (5) To adhere to the policies
of intellectual property rights, only licensed and/or authorized open-
source software shell be installed in DepEd-owned computers. It was
further suggested, the directed communication to the head office which
has application software requirements shall coordinate continuously with
its respective ICT unit/ICT coordinators to make the necessary
arrangements in procuring the license/s of the required software with not
only the period time. (6) The order also pointed out that watching, playing
of games, which are not for official use, shall be strictly prohibited. (7)
Offices with limited ICT resources shall be required to establish Local
Area Network (LAN) so that ICT resources (file, print and internet) can be
shared. (8) To ensure that the guidelines will be followed strictly, the
Computer Usage Code-of-Conduct Contract must be filled-up and signed

xi
by all concerned personnel before using said facilities. (9) ICT Coordinator
has one or two days to diagnose, repair the computer units aside from the
teaching load. (10) Additional laboratory fee for the pupils for the
maintenance of the computer laboratory. (11) DepEd must
provide/funded one secured computer room for this DCP projects for the
realization and quality innovation for the 21st Century Technological
Learning Skills.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
In this rapidly changing technological age, understanding of
computers and how they operate is becoming more and more essential.
Person without computer knowledge will be considered primitive in the
light of present day standards. That is why a literate person must also be
computer literate.
Computer literacy is the ability to use or operate and understand
the capabilities if computers even without being able to operate one, this
is a narrow concepts. Computer literacy must also take into account ones
ability to apply the capabilities of computers to do operations that
humans will be able to accomplish after a lapse of long hours of work.
Computers can do this split secured timing. 1
The twenty-first Century was characterized by IT dominance.
Technology became part of the global citizen’s world wherever they live.
Computers and IT literacy became pre-requisites in life of the future
employees and executives. These gadgets become the extension of the
humans brains. 2
Computer has thousands of uses and applications in business and
in the lives of people. In the schools, administration offices, in medicine,
computer applications become common. Lots of attention an analysis has

2
been given to computer applications such that the present generation will
not prosper without it. 3
Because of this Colleges and Universities, both public and private
offered computer subjects as part of their curricula, offered degree
courses in IT, and short term specialized trainings to meet the demand.
The Department of Education implemented programs in the schools
concerning computer technology. One of these programs in the DepEd
Computerization Program (DCP) mandated in DepEd Order no. 78, 2012.
DepEd turns to technological innovations and out-of-the box
solutions to make quality education accessible to more Filipinos. Thus, it
optimizes the power of information communication technology (ICT) to
broaden access to basic education, enhance the methodology of
teaching, and upgrade system to manage the bureaucracy.
Aside from giving computers to all secondary schools, the DepEd
Computerization Program is now expanding its scope which includes
elementary schools which passed the minimum requirement set by the
department.
The Batch 6 of the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) will give
Multi-media Equipment for Public Elementary Schools Nationwide with
the budget derived from the savings of 2003-2004 DCP Budget. The target
recipients will be 93 elementary schools, which will serve as pilot schools
for the DCP for Elementary Schools. On Batch 7 of the DCP, its target is

3
to give 2,434 elementary schools with multimedia equipment. These
schools should have population greater than 900 pupils. 4

the computer-student ratio at the secondary level shall be addressed by
SY 2010-2011.
10. The program shall also be expanded to cater to be needs of
teachers from selected public elementary schools of the Bureau of

9
Elementary Education (BEE) 2009-2010) and the mobile teacher of the
Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS) (2009-2010). 5
DepEd Memorandum No. 13, s. 2011, Implementation of the
DepEd Computerization Program Batch 6 (93 Recipient Elementary
Schools).
1. The Department of Education (DepEd) has almost complicated
the provision of Computer Laboratories to Secondary Schools based on
the Basic Education Information System (BEIS) 2008-2009. The
Technology Unit TS-ICTU) in cooperation with the Bureau of Elementary
Education (BEE) is now ready to implement the DCP for Public
Elementary Schools based on the savings from Fiscal Year 2003-2004
DCP Budget.
2. The DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) aims to provide
public schools with appropriate technologies that would enhance the
teaching-learning process and meet the challenges of the 21st century.
3. The BEE together with the regional/division offices has selected
ninety three (93) recipient elementary schools to be provided with their e-
Classroom package based on the following criteria: quality of schools;
potentials and commitment; and technology requirements.
a. Quality of Schools. For purposes of research, 70% of the
these recipients are high performing schools and 30% of which are
low perfuming schools with high potential for drop-outs based on

10
records of absenteeism. Schools with high enrolment/population
are mostly located in town centers.
b. Potential and Commitment. The School heads and teachers
of these recipient schools have expressed commitment in sustaining
and maintaining the e-Classroom package through their willingness
to put up counterpart funds/services by upgrading their ICT ability
and by showing adequate evidence of strong school-community
partnership.
c. Technology Requirements. Schools have available internet
connectivity or in the process of providing internet connection. 6
The proposed Cyber Education Project (CEP) would have completed,
fast tracked and streamlined all these ICT integration efforts had it not
get caught in the political maelstrom, which resulted to its subsequent
suspension.
Despite the suspension of CEP however, DepEd continues to
pursue its thrust to integrate education and ICT. These projects
include the DepEd Computerization Program as well as other initiatives
jointly implemented with private and non-government organizations such
as the ABS-CBN’s Knowledge Channel, Intel’s Teach to the Future and
Microsoft’s Partners in Learning Program.
The DepEd Computerization Program provides public secondary
schools with the equipment while FIT-ED gives necessary computer-based

11
teaching and learning. These initiatives are further supplemented by
Knowledge Channel’s television-based programs, Intel’s Teach to the
Future’s staff development programs for public school teachers, and
Microsoft’s Partner’s in Learning Program that recognizes the innovative
application and use of ICT in public high schools.
To date, some 75,000 teachers have already been trained under the
Intel program and 18,000 benefited from Microsoft's initiative. Through
these activities, beneficiaries of the program – students, teachers, school
administrators, and the community -- receive computer literacy training,
alternative means of education, IT teacher training, and computers.
However, the full benefits of IT cannot be realized without its
complete integration. Despite previous efforts, there is still a shortage a
computers, educational software, as well as specific curricular standards
for the use of computers to enhance education in schools nationwide.
This is the reason behind department endeavors to foster ICT
capability in all public elementary and secondary schools. This is the
reason why there is an urgent need for Cyber Education. 7
The advantages associated with computer-based managerial
decision-making can be the following:
(1) response time is greatly reduced
(2) very large data are stored for information and decision-making
(3) accuracy of information is considerably improved, thereby
improving the quality of the decision

12
(4) problems are handled more easily by using various operation
research models
(5) the cost involved in the decision-making process is reduced
(6) more secrecy is observed as compared to manual file system
(7) ability to take quick decision improves considerably as the time
for retrieval of information is very fast
(8) paper work is reduced to the minimum as all the information is
stored in the computer itself
(9) lots of information are stored for future reference
(10) chance of leakage of classified information are reduced
(11) accuracy in manipulation is increased very much
(12) time spent in various decision-making activities is reduces to a
minimum
All above mention advantages are available to have computerization
in management. 8
The computerization has been taken up with following objectives:
Improvement in the quality of services by re-engineering the
administrative processes in order to extend convenience to users,
minimization of expenditure/ manual work and sharing of information.
1. To ensure greater transparency, efficiency, objectivity,
accountability and speed that can help overcome unbridled
discretion and corruption by providing improved services in a
time bound manner.

13
2. To bring Government departments closer to the masses by
offering efficacious and speedy services under a single window.
3. Greater control over the processes & quick implementation of
government policies from time to time.
4. Instant access to information if needed by any other
government department.
5. The mission has been to provide quality service to the citizens.
The Post-computerization process has removed several hurdles
for the citizens in obtaining Licenses, Registration of vehicles
and paying of taxes.
6. The public is getting the desired document same day in the
evening or latest by the next day.
7. Up keep and maintenance of voluminous record is not a
problem.
8. The license is generated in Form-7 in the form of a laminated
card which has a good get up and is easy to carry and contains
more information.
9. There is an overwhelming response from the common people
who were extremely willing to pay the service charges in lieu of
quick and high quality delivery of services. 9

attainment of the objectives of the Computerization program in the Juan
M. Alberto Memorial Elementary School (JMAMES) as viewed by teachers
S.Y. 2012-2013. The specific problems that this study sought to answer
were:
1. What is the profile of the teacher – respondents as to gender,
age, level of educations, number of training/seminars attended, related to
information technology (IT), and classes taught?
2. What are the levels of attainment of the objectives of the
computerization program as regard to:
a. Services to the pupils
b. Supervision of the school
c. Administration of the school
d. Community relations of the school
e. Problems met
3. Is there any significant relationship between the profile and
the observations of the teachers on the level of attainment of the
objectives of computerization program?

Importance of the Study
This research serves as encouragement and baseline information
to the following:
The beneficial findings of this research would guide and inspire
students serve as good examples which the students, professionals
would refer to and recommend conditions about the DepEd
Computerization Program.
In this study, the Teachers would gain insights of the DepEd
Computerization Program. To share knowledge and information’s to
make this more informative.
To the local government offices, particularly the Municipal
Government of Virac, the findings of the DepEd Computerization
Program is already more than their limit, will guide them to decide
whether there is still the necessity about the DepEd Computerization
Program.
Scope and Delimitations of the Study
This study was focused mainly on the observations of Forty-three
(43) teachers in the Juan M. Alberto Memorial Elementary School DepEd
Computerization Program. This research was delimited to the analysis
of responses or research about the Level of Attainment of the Objectives
of the Computerization Program in JMAMES as Viewed by Teachers.

Definition of Terms
A computer is a programmable machine designed to sequentially
and automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical
operations. The particular sequence of operations can be changed
readily, allowing the computer to solve more than one kind of problem.
Computerization is a process that involves individuals,
organization and society in general. Involves a set of tasks carried out
with the aim of managing and controlling library operations using
computer resources.
DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) will give Multi-media
Equipment for Public Elementary Schools Nationwide with the budget
derived from the savings of 2003-2004 DCP Budget. The target recipients
will be 93 elementary schools, which will serve as pilot schools for the
DCP for Elementary Schools. On Batch 7 of the DCP, its target is to give
2,434 elementary schools with multimedia equipment. These schools
should have population greater than 900 pupils.
Information and communications Technology - or technologies
(ICT) is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or
application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer
and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well
as the various services and applications associated with them, such as
videoconferencing and distance learning. ICTs are often spoken of in a
particular context, such as ICTs in education, health care, or libraries.

18
Information Technology (IT) is the acquisition, processing,
storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical
information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and
telecommunications. The term in its modern sense first appeared in a
1958 article published in the Harvard Business Review, in which authors
Leavitt and Whisler commented that "the new technology does not yet
have a single established name. We shall call it information technology."
Cyber Education the Philippine Government's Department of
Education is planning to teach students in 37,000 schools nationwide
through the Cyber Superhighway. Computers will be used to teach
students Biology, Algebra, English and other subjects.
CICT’s-iSchool the Commission of Information and
Communications Technology (CICT) iSchools project is one of the flagship
projects of Human Capital Development Group (HCDG). It supports the
efforts of the Philippine Government and the Department of Education to
incorporate ICT in education in Public High Schools. Its long-term goal is
“to contribute to the efforts of the Philippine government in bridging the
digital divide by developing an Educational Digital Network that will
equip all Public High School teachers and students with ICT literacy
skills as well as provide them access to relevant digital content and
applications in education that they can use to enhance effective
learning”. iSchools focuses on strengthening classroom learning and
instruction by expanding access to various sources of information. In so

19
doing, the project hopes to enhance the capability of public high school
students throughout the Philippines to successfully compete with their
peers in the rest of the country (as well as in the rest of the world) for
jobs and other opportunities in the expanding global knowledge
economy.
The project aims to provide computer access (19 PCs + 1 laptop + 1
server: 15 units + 1 server in the student lab, 3 for the faculty, 1 for the
library, 1 laptop for the principal's office) and broadband Internet
connectivity to all public high schools throughout the country by 2010. It
also intends to establish Regional Helpdesks (for both hardware and
software assistance) and Maintenance Shops to support beneficiary
schools. Possible partnerships with Local Government Units and private
sector groups will be looked into towards this end.
DepEd Internet Connectivity Project (DICP) is a project
launched by the Department of Education which aims to connect all
Philippine public high schools to the Internet as well as provide the
necessary monitoring and training for students, teachers and other
school personnel in its use.
Laptop for Teachers (LT4T) Project. Consistent with its vision of
modernizing the teaching-learning process, the Philippines' Department
of Education (DepEd) will be giving away laptop for teachers. This Laptop
for Teachers Program is in line with the DepEd Computerization
Program.

20
e-Classroom for Teachers was created and designed for educators
to attain these technological skills. By integrating technology in the
classroom, educators are able to teach their students how to use 21st
century technological skills now and in the future.
e-Learning is the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills
and knowledge. E-learning applications and processes include Web-
based learning, computer-based learning, virtual education opportunities
and digital collaboration. Content is delivered via the Internet,
intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM. It can
be self-paced or instructor-led and includes media in the form of text,
image, animation, streaming video and audio.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents the literature and studies that are having
some relationships with this study. They may be related in terms of
subject matter, procedures followed, statistical treatment of the data,
and instrumentation in the collection of data other information.
State of the Art
Literature about computerization program is reflecting use of
software’s in management. The level of information handling about
Advantages of computerization. According to the computer age quotes:
“Computers cannot replace teachers, but teachers who cannot,
will be replaced by those who can"
We are in the generation of technology and at least one computer is
found in every school and at home. Although our children today are
growing with the recent fast growth of the technology, but unfortunately
most public schools in some Regions, and rural areas have no access to
the computers , nor to the internet connection. IT Subject has never been
included, neither funded by the government`s educational Institutes’
providers or the Department of Education. Private schools which provide
computer classes do not have a strong, and effective curriculum. From
what has been indicated above, we came up with a goal to achieve, that

23
goes along with the mentioned regions and area`s basic Educational
needs. 1
Also the clerical level, office and other automation control system
can be in operation. Office Automation System (OAS) is simple in an
automated office having multiple functions, where the integrated and
computer-aided system allows many office activities to be performed with
electronics equipment. The OAS would inputs such as appointments,
documents, addresses, etc. The OAS processing would be scheduling
word-processor, data storage and retrieval. Outputs from OAS would be
schedules, memoranda, bulk mail and administrative reports.
Related Literature
Computerization is to support (1) Working towards making the
system paperless or minimizing the paper work and to provide, (2) Give
pace to the Business, (3) To create the data base for analysis (4) Fast
Reporting & Queries.
It is worth noting that most studies aggregate workers into two
groups — production vs. non-production, skilled vs. unskilled,
information vs. non-information, and so on. In this paper, high-skilled
workers are not exclusively related to a single category, that is,
knowledge workers. In our study, skilled workers would be composed of
workers from the data and knowledge categories and, to a lesser extent,
management workers.

Project CHILD 2 (Computers Helping Instruction and Learning
Development) is a computer-integrated instruction programme developed
in 1988 by the University of Florida for grades K-5 (pre-school). The
programme focuses on three subject areas – reading, writing and
mathematics. Each Project Child classroom has a learning station with
between three to six computers. Butzin describes a typical Project CHILD
classroom scenario thus:
1. A class period begins with the teachers conducting a whole
group lesson – let’s say an introduction to fractions. After
about 10- minutes of direct instruction, the students fan out to
their first assigned learning station.
2. As student groups work at their stations, the teacher circulates
to help. Probe, assess, and encourage students as they work on
their assigned tasks. When a student finishes an activity….
(S/he) moves on to the next station) as needed.
3. Teachers form cross grade subject-specific clusters (K-2 or 3-5)
and work with the children over three years, the better to judge
what software is appropriate for the subject and to allow
students to learn at their own pace. Teachers are also given
one year training on integration and are provided with
research-based materials for lesson planning and technology
integration.

25
Over a decade’s worth of research on Project CHILD students have
shown that they have scored consistently higher on standardized tests
that their counterparts in traditional classrooms, and that the positive
effects of the programme have increased over time. Project CHILD
students also exhibited better attitudes toward school and learning, and
better discipline as well. Project CHILD has been recognized as an
effective programme by the U.S. Department of Education’s National
Diffusion Network and has received funding for nationwide expansion.
Karl Marx 3 stated, the means of production (working) help to
structure society. To support and enable work we have developed a range
of social institutions, corporate organizations, and a wide (and ever-
growing) range of computer-based systems. These computer systems
include applications such as word processing and office suites,
groupware, integrated software development environments, mobile
infrastructures, and enterprise systems, to name a few. The increasing
level of computerization (by which we mean the pervasiveness and
importance of computer-based systems) in work may be helpful but is
often problematic. To help understand current, and guide future,
computerization of work efforts, we make two points. First, we make the
case that a social informatics perspective provides an excellent
conceptual frame from which to view the computerization of work.
Mexico’s Telesecundaria 3 discuss another notable example of
direct class teaching, this time using broadcast television. The

26
programme was launched in Mexico in 1968 as a cost-effective strategy
for expanding lower secondary schooling in small and remote
communities. Perraton describes the programme thus:
Centrally produced television programs are beamed via satellite
throughout the country on a scheduled basis (8 am to 2 pm and 2 pm to
8 pm) to Telesecundaria schools, covering the same secondary
curriculum as that offered in ordinary schools. Each hour focuses on a
different subject area and typically follows the same routine—15 minutes
of television, then book-led and teacher-led activities. Students are
exposed to a variety of teachers on television but have one home teacher
at the school for all disciplines in each grade.
The design of the programme has undergone many changes
through the years, shifting from a “talking heads”approach to more
interactive and dynamic programming that “link[s] the community to the
programme around the teaching method. The strategy meant combining
community issues into the programs, offering children an integrated
education, involving the community at large in the organization and
management of the school and stimulating students to carry out
community activities.” Assessments of Telesecundaria have been
encouraging: dropout rates are slightly better than those of general
secondary schools and significantly better than in technical schools.
Braverman was the one who introduced the concept of de-skilling
of work, meaning essentially that the skill content of people's jobs is

27
decreasing considerably. Under this label, we also include the upgrading
effect. For example, it is likely that secretaries have had to improve their
skills over the last few decades to keep abreast of the changes brought by
computerization, even though there has been no change in the number
of secretaries required in the economy. In other words, the content of the
secretary's job has probably changed but followed an upgrading instead
of a de-skilling process (Spenner: 1990).
Related Studies
The Department of education (DepEd) 4 and the United States
Agency for International Development (USAID) will conduct an
assessment of on-going information communications technology for
education (ICT4E) initiatives to better integrate ICT in the K to 12
Curriculum. Secretary of Education Br. Armin A. Luistro FSC said,
“We have to set up our ICT thrust as we gradually
implement the K to 12 Basic Education Reform Program. As
we all know, ICT plays a very important role in
administrative functions as well as in the teaching and
learning process”
A project team coordinated by Foundation for Information
Technology Education and Development (FITED) will visit selected
regional and division offices, public schools, and alterative learning
centers that have ICT projects. The Assessment components include an
inventory of ICT4E projects, a survey on ICT utilization, and studies on
relevant cases. The study will be from July to September this year.

28
Among the initiatives the assessment will include is the DepEd
Computerization Program (DCP), which deploys computer packages to
public elementary and high schools nationwide to support the teaching
and learning process. To date, the program has covered 51 percent of
elementary schools and 88 percent of high schools as of the beginning of
school year 2011- 2012. Luistro added . . .
“The improvement of the design and implementation of
initiatives such as the DCP, which have direct bearing to the
overall reforms propounded by K to 12, is an important
undertaking,”
Several studies have been conducted about “Transforming
Education Through Technology": This is the slogan of DepeD
Computerization Program which stressed in the big role of technology in
attaining the goal for quality education.
Dir. Mari Paul C. Soriano, the Director III of DepEd's Technical
Service and the Vice Chairman of ICT Technical Committee, agitated and
made the participants excited as he talked about ICT Programs and
Projects.
He enumerated the DepEd's ICT Programs and Projects for the
Teaching-Learning Process, those projects are the following:
 DepEd Computerization Program
 DepEd Internet Connectivity Project
 DepEd ICT Projects for Governance and Management
 Laptop for Teachers Project (LT4T)

29
Among those programs enumerated the one that caught the
attention of the participants is the Laptop for Teachers (LT4T) Project.
Just watch out for the requirements for the Laptop for Teachers (LT4T) to
be posted in this blog soon.
Consistent with its vision of modernizing the teaching-learning
process, the Philippines' Department of Education (DepEd) will be giving
away laptop for teachers. This Laptop for Teachers Program is in line
with the DepEd Computerization Program.
Objectives of the Laptop for Teachers Project (LT4T):
 aims to improve the teaching and learning process of public
schools through the integration of ICT.
 to provide quality and affordable laptops for public school teachers
at a low cost, within the requirements of the special provision of
General Appropriation Act (GAA).
 to lessen the burden of manual/clerical work for public school
teachers and increase their time efficiency
 complements the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) and the
DepEd Internet Connectivity Project (DICP)
Target Beneficiaries of Laptop for Teachers Program (LT4T):
 492, 000 teachers
 50, 000 non-teaching staff
 Over a 5-year period (2009-2014)

30
Education has largely contributed to an increase in developing
knowledge, providing an enabling environment for innovation, and in
building human capital required for a potential future knowledge
economy. Global reforms in education and challenging ICT demands
have made a remarkable shift in the structure of the enabling ICT
environment and the utilization of ICT technologies in education. Such
technologies have become the key driver of the digital network in an era
of technology-driven education. More schools and communities now have
access to ICT resources to join the global economy with knowledge
workers who have 21st century skills and are inspired by life-long
learning. The Dakar Framework of Action for Education for All (EFA),
adopted in 2000 as a roadmap to meet the Education for All goals by
2015, highlights the role that ICT has to support EFA goals at an
affordable cost. ICTs have great potential for knowledge dissemination,
effective learning and the development of more efficient education
services. Much effort has been made towards the advancement of
education and multi-literacies. 9
Concepcion and Sta. Ana conducted a study on the importance of
the utilization of computers among employees of the Provincial
government of Catanduanes. Based on the findings the following
recommendations were offered:
1. Chiefs of offices should include in their budget proposals the
procurement of computers that will suffice the needs of their respective
offices.

31
2. The administration should provide enough computers so that
the employees can perform their jobs effectively and efficiently.
3. All employees should have an opportunity to attend seminars,
trainings and conference to acquire learning and improve their ability to
use the computers.
The present study is similar to that of Concepcion and Sta. Ana in
terms of determining the importance of utilization of computers. The
differ because the focus of the former study were employees of provincial
government while the present work deals on computer utilization in an
Elementary School.
In March, 2001, Honrade and Barrameda conducted a study on
the attitudes of Freshman College students towards the use of
computers. Among their findings were significant differences in the
attitudes of students from the Police Science Technology, Commerce,
Education and Computer Science Courses. These students agree that the
use of computers give them a sense of control over their learning’s, drills
and practices. They also agreed that computers are good motivators.
This research is similar in topic with the present work. They are
all about computers. The respondents were similar, that is students.
The differ however in place of the study; the former was conducted at the
Catanduanes Colleges while the latter was in the Juan M. Alberto
Memorial Elementary School.

32
In another study, Manlagñit and Masagca found that among the
high school seniors at the Catanduanes Colleges and at the San Andres
Vocational School, the students were competent in the correct start-up of
the computer, in word processing, software, and how to save and retrieve
information. On the other hand, their knowledge were low in surfing,
knowledge about the internet, how to create Webpage and how to
organize computer parts into a logical system.
The semblance of this research with the present study was in
topic. They are similar in topic. Both studies were conducted in schools,
but the differ because the first study was about effects of computers in
the school, pupils and community.
Synthesis of the Art
The literature adequately provided background and related
information about the topic of the study. Level of Attainment of the
Objectives of the Computerization Program in Juan M. Alberto Memorial
Elementary School (JMAMES) as Viewed by Teachers to know the extent
of implementation and the problems met of the school. The related
studies show the results of some investigation about DepEd
computerization program. No study whatever was conducted about the
DepEd Computerization in Catanduanes particularly in the Elementary
School.

33
Gap in the Knowledge
Bridged by the Study
The gap in the knowledge that this study was able to bridge was
the Level of Attainment of the Objectives of the Computerization Program
in Juan M. Alberto Memorial Elementary School (JMAMES) as Viewed by
Teachers. No study was ever conducted about this topic.

CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
This chapter presents the method of research used in this study.
The discussions include the instrument used in gathering the data, how
this instrument was validated and tested for reliability, research locale,
sources of data, sampling technique used and how the data were treated
statistically.
Research Method Used
The descriptive method of research was used in this study. This
was used because the researcher had the intention of describing the
variables as they existed in the actual setting. This was followed in
accordance with the opinions advanced by Calderon1 regarding
descriptive researches.
Instrumentation and Validation
The questionnaire was the instrument used in gathering the data.
This questionnaire was developed by the researcher using some book
and other publications as references. It consisted of three parts.
Part I consisted of questions whose answers will reveal the profile
of the teacher-respondents. This profile consisted of the gender, age,

36
education, number of trainings/seminars attended that are related to IT,
and kind of classes assigned to teach.
Part II had questions asking about the level of attainment of the
objectives of the DepEd computerization program. The level of attainment
is exposed on rated by the teachers on a 4-points scale. The numbers
have the following corresponding meanings:
4 – very successful
3 – successful
2 – less successful
1 – not successful
Part III contained questions about the opinions of the teachers on
the problems met on the level of attainment of the objectives of the
computerization program are exposed on rated in the form of a scale of 1
to 4 with the following corresponding meanings:
4 – strongly agree
3 – agree
2 – disagree
1 – strongly disagree
After the questionnaire was developed, this writes presented to it to
the research adviser for comments and corrections. These corrections
were followed in revising the questionnaire.

37
Research Locale
This study was conducted at Juan M. Alberto Memorial
Elementary School (JMAMES), Virac North District.
Sources of Data
The sources of data for this research are the Forty-three (43)
teachers and non-teaching staff of the Juan M. Alberto Memorial
Elementary School (JMAMES).
Sampling Techniques
In this research, no sampling technique was employed to select
the teachers who will be enumerated. All teachers were considered as
respondents and returned the questionnaires were considered as
samples.
Statistical Treatment of the Data
The data that were gathered in this study through the questionnaire
were treated statistically before interpretations were made. The following
statistical treatments were employed:
1. Frequency count was used to find the actual number of teachers
who belong to the different categories of the gender, age, and other
parameters of the profile.

38
2. Percentage was used to find the proportion of a sub-category of the
profile variable in relation to the total frequency.
3. Pearson Product- Moment of Correlation was used to determine the
reliability of the questionnaire.
4. Weighted mean was used to know the frequency of use of the
different technique used by teachers in teaching science.
5. The Chi- Square test was used to find the relationship between the
profile and the frequency of use of the different techniques in
teaching science by the teachers.

CHAPTER 4
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the data that were gathered in the study.
Those data were tabulated, analyzed and interpret. Statistical Testing
was employed to facilitate the interpretation. Discussions of the data
present the presentation of the tables.
Profile of the teachers
The profile refers to the personnel characteristics of the teachers
like gender, age, education and Grade level or classes being taught. The
data presented in Table 1.
Gender
The gender respondents as reflected in the results of the study
show that only 5 of the 43 teachers were males. This was 11.63 percent
of the total. There were also 38 females and is equivalent to 88.37
percent of the samples. There were more females than males that the
females outnumbered the males who are in the teaching job.

41
Age
Of the 43 teachers only 7 or 16.28 percent were less than 30 years
old. There were 13 or 30.23 percent who were from 30 to 39 years old
while 17 or 39.53 percent were in age group of 40 to 49 years old. Six or
13.95 percent were 50 years old and above.
These data suggest that majority of the teachers were from 30 to
49 years old implying that they are in their middle extent of their life
span and therefore are in the most productive years. Few were already
nearing retirement age.
Level of Education
There were 24 or 58.81 whose level of education were only
Bachelors degree holder. There were 18 or 41.86 percent hold a
Bachelors degree with advance units leading to the Masters degree. One
or 2.33 percent were holder of the Master’s degree.
It could be seen that many teachers are Bachelors degree. This is
an indication that they are trying to grow professionally. They are
complying with the requirements of the Service Manual which states
that:
“All school officials and teachers should strive to broaden
their cultural outlook and deepen their professional interest. They
should pursue such studies as will improve their efficiency and
enhance the prestige of the profession.”

42
This finding would suggest that teacher’s ability to teach are
improving. Earning units leading to the Master’s degree add knowledge
not previously found during the baccalaureate studies of the teachers.
The knowledge the teachers get in the stage of their studies are better
than the previous ones, being updated and relevant to the times.
Number of Trainings/Seminars
Related to IT
The number of trainings/seminars related to IT respondents as
reflected in the results of the study shows that only 1 or 2.33 percent of
the total of the 43 teachers obtained 4 trainings/seminars. There were 6
teachers or 13.95 percent had 3 trainings/seminars. There were 19
teachers or 44.19 percent got 2 trainings/seminars of the samples.
Fifteen teachers or 34.88 had only 1 trainings/seminars. Lastly 2
teachers or 4.65 percent had no training in computer.
Classes Taught
Of the 43 teachers only 9 teachers or 23.93 percent were from
Special Education (SPED) Class. There were 27 teachers or 62.79 percent
were from Regular Class. Four teachers or 9.30 percent were from
Children with Exceptionalities (CWE) Class. Lastly there were 3 or 6.98
were from non-teaching staff.

Services to the Pupils
Table 2 presents the level of attainment of the objectives of the
Computerization relative to the services of the school to the pupils is
given in table 2 the level of attainment were expressed in terms of how
successfully they were attained and it was on a scale of 1 to 4. The
numbers mean 4, very successful; 3, successful; 2, less successful; and
1, not successful.
The first objectives were “Very large data are stored for information
and decision-making and lots of information are stored for future
reference. “ It was given a total weight frequency of 144. The mean was 3
and the adjectival rating was “successful,” “Ability to take quick decision
improves considerably as the time for retrieval of information is very
fast.” had, a total of 129, the mean was 3 and the adjectival rating was
“successful” “Computers have proven extremely beneficial to kids with
certain speech, audio, and motor limitations especially kids with special
needs to interact with computers and do things that they normally could
not accomplish independently.” obtained a total weight frequency of 134.
The mean was 3 and the adjectival rating was “successful”.
Sincerely “Good educational software enables children to develop
and practice a broad range skills like letters, numbers, shapes, colors
and rhythm” got a total of 141 and the mean was 3 while the adjectival

Level of Attainment of the Objectives
of the Computerizations Program
Regarding to the community
Relations of the School
computerization program relative to the community relations of the school
this was rated by the teachers who are connected with the program.
The first objective was “instant access to information if needed by
any other government department” had a total of 144. The mean was 3
and the adjectival rating was “successful,” “The Post-computerization
process has removed several hurdles for the citizens and problems are
handled more easily by using various operation research models” was
given a total of 102 and the mean was 2 while the adjective rating was
“less successful,” “The public is getting the desired document same day in
the evening or latest by the next day” received a total weighted frequency
of only 62. The mean was 1 and the adjectival rating was “not successful,”
“The passing/inspection fee, registration fee, token tax, HPA
entry/cancellation fee etc. is being calculated by the system itself and
there will be no scope for any error or discretion” had a total of 97 with a
mean of 2 and the adjectival rating was “less successful,”
On the other hand, the attainment of the objective,” “The MIS
reports required from time to time by the Govt. for monitoring and policy
making purposes can be had without much efforts and loss of time”, was
“very successful”, the total weight frequency was 162 and the mean was 4.

63
In the same manners “The license is generated in Form-7 in the form of a
laminated card which has a good get up and is easy to carry and contains
more information” had a total of 164, the mean was 4 and the adjectival
rating was very successful,” the last objective which was “There is an
overwhelming response from the common people who were extremely
willing to pay the service charges in lieu of quick and high quality delivery
of services” was given a total weighted frequency of 134 which was
equivalent to an adjective rating of “successful” having a mean of 3.
These results show that the most successfully attained adjective
were “The MIS reports required from time to time by the Govt. for
monitoring and policy making purposes can be had without much efforts
and loss of time,” and “The license is generated in Form-7 in the form of a
laminated card which has a good get up and is easy to carry and contains

Relationship Between the Profile
and the Views of the Teachers
on the attainment of the objectives
of computerizations
Table 7 presents the relationship between the profile and the views
of the teachers about the level of attainment of the objectives of
computerization to find those relationships the data were subjected to
statistical analysis using the chi-square (x2) test at 5 present levels.
Between gender and views about the attainment of the objectives,
the computed value was 6.422 while the tabular value was 7.81. Since the
computed value was lesser than the tabular value the null hypothesis (Ho)
was accepted. The interpretation was that’s gender is not related to the
views of the teachers about the level or attainment of the objectives of the
computerization program.
Regarding age and views of the teachers about the attainment level
of the objectives, the computed value was 14.120 and the tabular value at
d.f. 9 was 16.92 the computed value was lesser than the tabular value,
hence the null hypothesis (Ho) was accepted. It was interpreted what age
is not related to the views of the teachers about the level of attainment of
the objectives of the computerization program.
Regarding level of education and views on the level of attainment of
the objectives of the computerization program, the computed value was
10.086 and the tabular value was 12.59 Since the computed value was
lesser than the tabular value, the hypothesis (HO) was accepted, the

74
interpretation was that the level of education is not related to the views of
the teachers about the level of attainment of the objective of the
computerization program. That means the teachers with high level of
education and those teachers with comparatively lower level of education
have the same views about the level of attainment of the computerization
in the Juan M. Alberto Memorial Elementary School.
Between member of training and seminars attended related to
Information Technology and the views about the level of attainment of the
objective of the computerization program, the computed value was 13.285
while the tabular value was 12.59. Since the computed value was greater
than the tabular value, the decision was to reject the well hypothesis (HO).
The alternative hypothesis (Ho) had to be accepted. The interpretation was
that the number trainings and seminars related to IT that were attended
by the teachers is related to their views about the level of attainment of the
objectives of the computerization program, that means, teachers who were
ask to attend trainings and seminars that are related to IT have different
views than those who were unable to attend seminars in service activities.
Between kinds of classes being taught and the views about the level
of attainment of the objectives of the computerization program the
computed value was 24.483 which were greater in comparison with the
tabular value of only 21.03 at d.f. 12.5 present level therefore, the null
hypothesis (HO) was rejected, the alternative hypothesis (Ho) therefore had
to be accepted. It was interpreted that the classes being taught by the

75
teachers influence their views about the level of attainment of the
computerization program.
This could be attributed to the fact that teachers who were teaching
SPED classes have better exposure to the result of the computerization
program, hence they are in a position to have better judgment than those
who were teaching regular classes.
These different finding show that only the variables “number of
training, seminars attended” and the kinds of classes assigned to the
teachers to teach are related to the views of the teachers about the level of
attainment of the objectives of the computerization program on the aspects
of services to the pupils, supervisor of the school, and community relation
of the school with the community. Gender, age, and education did not
show significant relationship with the views of the teachers.

c. Administration of the school
d. Community relations of the school
e. Problems met
3. Is there any significant relationship between the profile and the
observation of the teachers on the level of attainment of the
objectives of computerization program?
of the school the most successfully attained were “Paper work is reduced
to the minimum as all the information is stored in the computer itself”
and “Ability to take quick decision improves considerably as the time for
retrieval of information is very fast,” the least was “The programs written
on the system checks and controls data before and during processing. It
detects invalid data and ensures high degree of accuracy and reliability of
output reports” Relative to the administration of the school the most
successfully attained adjective were “Chance of leakage of classified
information are reduced” and “The number of persons required for
performing various organizational activities will be reduced by using a
computer system,” the least were “The programs written on the system
