Department of Education Computerization Program (DCP) Units Utilization: Impact in the Academic Performance of Students in Science and Mathematics

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Department of Education (Department of Education) is geared towards the transformation of education through the Department of Education Computerization Program (DCP). It promotes the right of all citizens to take appropriate steps in making education accessible. DCP aims to enhance the teaching-learning process and meet the challenges of the 21st century. The study aims to determine the impact of DCP unit utilization in the academic performance of the Grade 10 Integrity students in Science and Mathematics at Balas Buco Sta. Maria National High School

METHODS

The data is analyzed and tabulated using the grades of the respondents in the Second Quarter in Science and Mathematics. The second data is the impact of DCP utilization in the academic performance of the respondents in the Third Quarter. Appropriate statistical treatment is used and the frequency or level of academic performance of the student respondents

RESULTS

Basically, there is an increased percentage of students who got outstanding grades in both subjects at 6.25% in Mathematics and 12.5% in Science. There is a change in the percentage of the students who got a very satisfactory grade in Mathematics at 2.083% increase and a 12.5% increase in Science. There is an increase in the percentage of students who got fair grades in Mathematics at 14.583% and 14.75 in Science.

DISCUSSIONS

It is true that when the computer is used as a learning tool in a teaching session, it motivates and captures the pupils' interest which culminates in a vivid and interesting lesson for the pupils. It was found out that after using the DCP in Mathematics and Science subjects, the grades of Grade 10 Integrity for the 3rd grading period gradually increased and it has significant relationships. It is also concluded that the Department of Education Computerization Program (DCP) utilization has a great impact on the academic performance of Grade 10 Integrity in Science and Mathematics.
