I. INTRODUCTION

This research explores the effectiveness of the Department of Education (DepEd)

Computerization Program (DCP) in enhancing essential skills such as their digital

literacy, problem-solving and critical thinking among students at Calendola National

High School (CNHS). The study focuses on how the program has impacted the

learning experience, particularly for the Grade 10 students preparing to graduate in

the academic year 2024-2025 and examines its broader influence on their academic

development and readiness in the near future.

II. VARIABLE

Independent Variable: DepEd Computerization Program

 this is the program we are evaluating, and it is being manipulated or observed

for its effects.

Dependent Variable: Skills Development

 this is the outcome we are measuring, as it depends on the implementation or

impact of the DepEd Computerization Program.

This shows that us, researchers are investigating on how the DepEd

Computerization Program (DCP) affects the development of skills among students.

III. OBJECTIVES

1. Evaluate students digital skills development.

2. Identify challenges in the program.

3. Provide recommendations for improvement.

The researchers will use a convenience sampling technique to gather data from

Grade 10 students at Calendola National High School (CNHS) during the school year

2024-2025 specifically those students whose course in the subject Technology and

Livelihood Education (TLE) is Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

Convenience sampling technique or method is a non-probability sampling technique

where the researchers select participants who are easiest to access or most convenient

to reach. In this method, the sample is chosen based on factors like proximity,

availability, or willingness to participate, rather than on random selection. This makes

the data collection process quicker and more cost-effective. Since the participants are

easily accessible within the school, this sampling method will allow us to efficiently

collect relevant information from students who are directly impacted by the DepEd

Computerization Program (DCP).

V. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This study will use the mixed-methods research methodology as the

researchers will conduct surveys and interviews to assess students experiences with

the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) and to evaluate it's impact among the

said participants.

RESEARCH POPULATION

The target group for our research consists of graduating students at CNHS for

the school year of 2024-2025. We chose graduating students for they are the best

respondents we can think of as they experienced and witnessed the full impact of the

DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) throughout their high school years, and

because they are the ones that will enter senior high school for the next academic year.
VI. RESEARCH DESIGN

 EXPLANATORY

Our research aims to establish a clear cause-and-effect relationship by evaluating

the impact of the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) on graduating students.

Through systematic investigation and data collection, we seek to analyze how

participation in the program influences various academic and personal outcomes for

students approaching graduation.

VII. RESEARCH QUESTIONS

1. Who is being affected by the DepEd Computerization Program in this study?

 This study focuses on graduating students at Calendola National High School

for the 2024-2025 school year. These students are directly impacted by the

DepEd Computerization Program (DCP).

2. What specific skills are you looking at when you measure "skills development"?

 We are specifically looking at digital literacy, technical skills, and critical

thinking that students develop through the use of computers and technology in

their education. Also, because technology has been in great use since the

earlier generations making it essential for them to effectively use. These skills

not only help students in their studies but are also important for their future

careers and daily life.

3. Where is this study taking place?

 The research is to be conducted at Calendola National High School, where the

DepEd Computerization Program is currently in use among students.

 Data will be collected during the 2024-2025 school year, with a focus on the

students who are set to graduate by the end of the school year.

5. Why is it important to evaluate the impact of the DepEd Computerization Program

on students?

 It is important because the program has the potential to shape students' future

opportunities. By evaluating its impact, we can understand whether it

effectively develops important skills like digital literacy, which are essential in

today’s tech-driven world.

6. How will you measure the skills development of the students?

 Skills development will be measured through a combination of surveys and

interviews. This will help evaluate how well students have grasped the skills

the program intends to teach.
