CHAPTER 1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
North Carolina (NC) is a state that receives federal funding and, as such, must
adhere to the No Child Left Behind Act assessment requirement. The North Carolina
Standard Course of Study (2004) provides every content area a set of competencies for
each K-12 course. The intent of this standard is to ensure rigorous student academic
performance standards that are uniform across the state. The basis for this standard is
a philosophy of teaching and learning that is consistent with current research, exemplary
practices and national standards.
However, Hasan (2003) showed that certain computer experiences had varying
levels of impact on a person’s perceived computer self-efficacy. Hasan’s research
showed that experience with computer programming and graphics applications have
strong and significant effects on computer self-efficacy beliefs while spreadsheet and
database applications demonstrated weak effects.
This research will concentrate on computer self-efficacy as it pertains to specific
tasks in word processing, presentation graphics, and spreadsheet applications.
Moreover, Hassel bring et al. (2000) in his study ‘Technology to support teacher
development’ had shown that improving the quality of an education system depends upon
teachers’ training and development. He argues that teachers should be trained to view
ICT as a resource and to use technology in classroom activities, whilst earlier added that
education authorities are responsible for teacher trailing.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1. What is the level of proficiency of students on the basic skills of software
application in Computer Programming class?
2. What is the level of performance of computer programming class using the
selected software application as proceed by the respondents?
3. what is the significant difference among the perception of students on their level
of performance who have prior knowledge with those have background
knowledge?
NULL HYPOTHESIS
1. There is no significant difference on the proficiency of both group of student-
respondents on the basic skills in the selected software applications
SCOPE AND LIMITATION
The main purpose of the study is to determine on how the students deal to the
track they have chosen which is computer programming and the students who have the
prior knowledge to the particular track are actives in terms of discussion compared to
those students doesn't have any prior knowledge.
The researchers will conduct a survey to 60 male and female Grade 11 CP
students using random sampling in Antipolo City Senior High School, SY 2018-2019. The
students will be randomly selected from three different sections equally to avoid bias.
