Chapter 1THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGIntroduction
Today, computers play a big role in education especially indeveloping
countries like the Philippines. According to Casiano(2007), computer has
a capability for administrative andmanagerial users, namely: easing
enrollment procedures,preparing transcript of records, recording grades,
paying schoolfees, and others, as well as for teaching purposes.
Moreover, ithas given way to the development of multi-media which
iscreating an exciting and very real interactive
learningenvironment.According to Senator Oreta, three to four out of
fiveteachers lacked knowledge in using computers (Philippine Star,2002).
In a survey research with an overall goal of determiningICT preparedness
of teacher stated that the literacy of teachersin using word processing
software is about 63.27% while thesecond is internet browsing with
33.91%. The third is usingspreadsheets application, 13.84% and other
software applicationis quite below at 10% (Magno, 2006). AlsoDepED
estimates thatonly one out of seven schools have teachers who are
computerliterate (Abad, 2004).

Being computer literate gives the learner an opportunity toexcel in
rapidly changing environment in technology. Accordingto Reynolds (2007),
computer literacy means being knowledgeableabout the capabilities of
hardware and software andunderstanding how computers and the internet
can enhance
student
s educational experiences.The government and the education department
has come upwith plans for computer literacy of learners as well
asteachers. According to Carandang (2010), Senator Angara urgedthe
incoming administration to legislate an integrated computereducation. He
also proposed the creation of the Board ofComputer Education. The
proposed board will promote the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) scheme of
the program, which isfacilitating the computer literacy training of
teachers. Angaraalso urged to integrate computer subjects in private and
publicschools from elementary up to high school; providing materialsand
equipment to be used in implementing computer literacy. Theyare making
laws and bills like House Bill No. 632 introduced bySenator Escudero
(2003),an act to integrate a computereducation program into the
educational system and for otherpurposes,for pursuing the objectives in
achieving goals forbetter quality education.

In schools, some books used by teachers have additionalinformation and
useful links that can be accessed in theinternet. There are times that
the researcher integratesacademic subjects for the hands-on activity of
students in theircomputer subject. If the teachers know how to use
computer andits applications, it will be easy for them to understand
theadvantage of being computer literate. Also, students willrealize that
the computer is not only for fun and entertainmentbut for their own
benefit. According to Carlson and Gadio(2002), educational technology is
not, and never will be,transformative on its own. It requires teachers
who canintegrate technology into the curriculum and use it to improvestudent

s learning. Teachers are the keys to how technology isused appropriately

and effectively.Five years ago, teachers of the Holy Rosary
CollegesFoundation had an informal basic computer training held
duringthe summer vacation. It was held from one to two hours in twoweeks
before the opening of classes. The computer teacher taughtthe basics and
she assigned another teacher for demonstration.Furthermore, the teachers
were asked to have hands-on activitieswith computer. It was the first
and last training conducted.

Today, most of the teachers of Holy Rosary CollegesFoundation have
laptops or computers to help them in their tasksin terms of preserving
records, encoding documents, computationof grades and browsing the
internet. Other teachers studying fortheir masteral degree prepare
presentations of their reportusing their computers. Unfortunately, based
on the
researchers
observation, some of the teachers have minimal computer literacyand the
school has no program for computer literacy forteachers. Despite of the
complete equipment and facilitiesavailable to every teacher for use in a
computer literacyprogram, teachers learn operating computers by
exploring andthrough the help of their peers.Realizing the compelling
need of teachers to be computerliterate, the researcher was motivated to
determine the computeraptitude and skills of the teachers at the Holy
Rosary CollegesFoundation. It is hoped that the results can help the
researchercome up with a computer literacy program for the teachers.
Conceptual Framework
Nowadays, every teacher relies on computers for makinglesson plans,
preparing examinations, recording and computinggrades, and others.
