Abstract:

Kids love computers. Computers are not seen as work but rather, games.I believe this to be true for most children. The exception would be the young computer buffs who become hooked on computer technology, and even for these computer buffs, it is probably still a game.Computer technology has become a fact of everyday life. We‘re all affected by computer technology. With this in mind, I believe it is essential that all children become familiar with computers, with regular ‘hands on’ experience. With the right selection of software, schools can incorporate computer-assisted learning across the curriculum. The experiences children have now with computers can lead to a variety of job opportunities in future years.

Abstract:

Having certain level in computer literacy is very important to educational setting for students. They should have skill and positive attitudes toward computer to achieve effective teaching and learning process. This study aimedto measure the computing skills, knowledge of IAIN Malikussaleh students about computers, also their attitude toward computers. It is also to determine whether students’ characteristics such as field of study, duration of students’ exposure to computers have significant influence on their computer literacy. From the computation it can be seen that the level of IAIN Malikussaleh students’’ computer skills applied was 4.306 of mean from the highest score of 5 with standard deviation 0.82624 in general. This number indicated that IAIN Malikussaleh students’’ level of computer skill is above average. English and Arabic department students possess quite similar ability or skill in term of computer literacy.The most notable result of this result is the respondents’ attitude toward computer. The respondents who possess good computer skills should have positive attitude toward computer. However, the IAIN Malikussaleh students’ attitude toward computer is average.

Abstract:

This study investigated the effectiveness of two computer literacy courses (one was offered as on-line and the other one was offered through traditional methods). Two courses were compared in terms of their effectiveness on computer attitude of the student teachers and their learning experience about computers. This study also explored the other factors that contributed to changes in attitudes of the student teachers and their beliefs about computers in education. The study used data from 209 (147 female, 62 male) student teachers of which 69 of them attended to the on-line computer literacy course, and 140 of them attended to the traditional computer literacy course. Findings indicate that there is a combined effect of gender, computer literacy course type (traditional vs. on-line), whether any computer-related course was taken before, previous computer attitude and possession of home a computer on student teachers' post-attitude, toward computers. The follow-up study results were also supportive to the results of statistical analysis, and they investigated student teachers' perceptions about the computer literacy course they attended.

Abstract:

The application of e-government for agencies from the basic level, sub-district, aims to create single-united data to be accessed from sub-district to district and even national. Then, human resources capability in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) literacy is also essential to maximize the application of e-government. However, the implementation of egovernment in Purbalingga has not been carried out optimally due to the lack of use of computers and the Internet by village officials. The research aims to measure the level of ICT literacy of village officials and the correlation between computer literacy and Internet literacy. The research is a quantitative study using a survey method with the People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM) concept. Around 108 village officials in Purbalingga are involved in the research. The results show that ICT literacy is still at level 2. It implies that the village officials use computers and the Internet many times with the same usage pattern to assist their jobs. In addition, the correlation between computer literacy and Internet literacy is positive and strong. It means that if computer literacy increases, Internet literacy will also increase. Therefore, it is concluded that village officials in Purbalingga are accustomed to doing daily activities using computers and the Internet with the same usage pattern.

Abstract:

The learning environment extends beyond the classroom, in a way, necessitating integration of computer literacy with education, establishing e-learning culture within future nursing education and facilitating life-long learning, which goes hand in hand with reshaping the future of the nursing practice. Despite the rapid integration between computers and different health care issues, studies indicated that nursing students have extremely low levels of computer literacy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the anxiety-related computer literacy rates of a few nursing students in Jordan. A convenient sample of 441 undergraduate nursing students was selected. A descriptive study utilised a self-administered questionnaire of the Arabic version of the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale and Computer Literacy Scale Data between 20 May and 30 July 2009. Study results indicated that there was a significantly negative relationship between computer anxieties and computer literacy rates. This implies the need for frequent use of computers in various educational and training activities. Frequent use of the computer would reduce computer anxiety and thus enhance computer literacy rates.

Abstract:

Information age in the 21st century is witnessing the dramatic increase in computer‐related jobs. Many employers are now recruiting candidates who have knowledge and experience in information technology or those who are computer literate. Therefore, potential candidates should m aster at least some level of computer literacy. Thus, the m ain objective of this study is to analyse the level of computer literacy among graduating Bachelor of Accountancy students in Malaysian public higher institutions. Based on the findings, computer literacy can be group into basic, advanced, self‐efficacy and technical level. Evidence shows that, graduating accountancy students are computer literate at the basic, advanced and self‐efficacy level. Significant difference is also found in the students’ perceptions on Accounting Information System (AIS) suggesting that the educators should give due attention to AIS courses, particularly in enhancing students’ computer literacy level. There are also evidence that the level of basic and advanced computer literacy of male students are significantly higher than female students; those who woned computers are significantly more computer literate in terms of basic and advanced computer literacy than those who did not own computers; and finally, previous computer experience is not generally related to computer achievement, except for self‐efficacy computer literacy level.

Abstract:

This study determined the level of computer literacy and its influence on the academic performance of junior high school students. Specifically, it probed into the students’ attitude toward computers and sought answers to the following: the extent of students’ computer literacy in terms of Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and General Computing; their academic performance based on the mean percentage scores during the first and second quarters of the school year 2019-2020; issues and problems encountered by them relative to the extent of their computer literacy; and the solutions that may be suggested by themselves to address the constraints they encountered relative to the extent of their computer literacy. Also, by employing descriptive-correlational analysis, the study examined the significant differences in the extent of students’ computer literacy in said areas when paired according to their attitude toward computers and the significant relationship between their academic performance and the extent of their computer literacy in terms of the identified areas. Generally, the findings of the study revealed that the students needed to enhance the extent of their computer literacy in the areas of word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and general computing. The results also signified that the greater the extent of their computer literacy in said areas, the higher their academic performance. This implied that classroom intervention activities are imperative to enhance the extent of the students' computer literacy. Thus, teachers should support them by implementing an intervention program that improves students’ level of computer literacy in the specific areas mentioned.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate computer literacy competencies among rural and urban students in India and its prime objectives are to find out: how rural and urban students use computers, what is the purpose of computers for these students and what problems have the students encountered while using computers. Design/methodology/approach – Scheduled interviews were conducted to collect necessary data from rural and urban students. The interview schedules consisted of various questions designed to elicit details about the students’ use of computers. A total of 600 interview schedules were collected and data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for windows to test the formulated hypothesis. Findings – The findings of the study indicate that the infrastructural facilities varied among rural and urban schools. Another notable finding of the study was that majority (91.33 percent) of urban students used computers compared to a significantly less percentage of rural students (32.33 percent). Most rural students have not used computers mainly because they do not know how to (49.75 percent) followed by lack of support from teachers (48.76 percent) and non-availability of computers in their schools (48.27 percent). Electrical power failure was another major problem faced by both urban students (31.75 percent) and rural students (40.20 percent). Originality/value – This study attempted to learn about the computer literacy competencies among the students and the digital divide in Indian schools. On the basis of the findings, the study has recommended guidelines to bridge the digital gap. These findings and recommendations will potentially be helpful to school authorities and the government in order to take the necessary measurements to bridge the digital gap between the rural and urban students.

Abstract:

Digital literacy for adults has developed into an important dimension of ICT-related policies worldwide. Although research argues that adults need digital skills, limited evidence has been directed to digital literacy teaching approaches for adults and the associated pedagogy. The study explores which core features of effective adult learning were addressed within the context of digital literacy courses offered by the State Institutes of Further Education (SIFE) in Cyprus. Semi-structured interviews conducted with two groups of Greek-Cypriot adults enrolled in these courses indicate that while certain aspects of adult learning, e.g., optimal climate for learning, other principles related to the consideration of learners’ needs and input in the development of learning contracts were limited in effect. Since this can mainly be attributed to the nature of the courses which were designed from top-down and remained openly ECDL exam-oriented with pre-fixed content, repercussions are drawn with regards to alternative paths to adult digital literacy, organized on the basis of learners’ expectations, profiles and needs.

Abstract:

Despite the enormous potential of ICTs and digital literacy in the educational setup, most primary schools in Benin City are yet to fully implement and take advantage of its numerous benefits to the teaching and learning process. This study therefore examined the possibility of incorporating digital literacy at the primary school level, as well as ascertains the extent to which electronic gadgets are available and accessible and the challenges militating against the implementation of digital literacy in private primary schools in Benin City. The research design adopted for this study is descriptive survey. Using the stratified random sampling technique, a total of 448 primary school teachers responded to the Digital Literacy Questionnaire in Primary School (DLPQS) that was developed by the researcher and used for data collection. The data analysis was done using simple tables of frequency counts and percentages. Findings from the study revealed that whilst 90.2 % of the teachers possessed Personal Computers (PC) and other electronic gadgets and were relatively proficient with the use of said devices, computers and digital gadgets were not readily available and accessible as 52.7 % of the teachers taught in schools that did not currently have a computer lab with 60.7 % not having access to the lab. Where available, 69.4 % of the teachers indicated that most of the computers where outdated and not functional and 79.5 % reported that the number of computers were insufficient. Findings also showed that – lack of/insufficient number of computers, poor internet connectivity and epileptic power supply were the major drawbacks in the use of digital literacy in the primary schools.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective We sought to measure patient portal satisfaction with patient portals and characterize its relationship to attitude towards computers, health literacy, portal usage, and patient demographics. Materials and Methods We invited 13 040 patients from an academic medical center to complete a survey measuring satisfaction, perceived control over computers, and health literacy using validated instruments (End User Computing Satisfaction, Computer Attitude Measure, and Brief Health Literacy Screen). We extracted portal usage and demographic information from the medical center data warehouse. Results A total of 6026 (46.2%) patients completed the survey. The median (IQR) scores for satisfaction, computer control, and health literacy were 87% (20%), 86% (22%), and 95% (15%), respectively. The normalized mean (SD) usage of messaging, lab, appointment, medication, and immunization functions were 6.6 (2.6), 4.6 (2.4), 3.1 (1.7), 1.5 (1.2), and 0.88 (0.91) times, respectively. Logistic regression yielded significant odds ratios [99% CI] for computer control (3.6 [2.5–5.2]), health literacy (12 [6.9–23]), and immunization function usage (0.84 [0.73–0.96]). Discussion Respondents were highly satisfied and had high degrees of computer control and health literacy. Statistical analysis revealed that higher computer control and health literacy predicted higher satisfaction, whereas usage of the immunization function predicted lower satisfaction. Overall, the analytical model had low predictive capability, suggesting that we failed to capture the main drivers of satisfaction, or there was inadequate variation in satisfaction to delineate its contributing factors. Conclusion This study provides insight into patient satisfaction with and usage of a patient portal. These data can guide the development of the patient portal, with the ultimate goal of increasing functionality and usability to enhance the patient experience.

Abstract:

Computer literacy plays a critical role in today's life sciences research. Without the ability to use computers to efficiently manipulate and analyze large amounts of data resulting from biological experiments and simulations, many of the pressing questions in the life sciences could not be answered. Today's undergraduates, despite the ubiquity of computers in their lives, seem to be largely unfamiliar with how computers are being used to pursue and answer such questions. This article describes an innovative undergraduate-level course, titled Computer Literacy for Life Sciences, that aims to teach students the basics of a computerized scientific research pursuit. The purpose of the course is for students to develop a hands-on working experience in using standard computer software tools as well as computer techniques and methodologies used in life sciences research. This paper provides a detailed description of the didactical tools and assessment methods used in and outside of the classroom as well as a discussion of the lessons learned during the first installment of the course taught at Emory University in fall semester 2009.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the design and evolution of the Dancing Computer project. Dancing Computer is an ongoing research project at the Michigan State University, which is developing a system that aims to increase computer literacy in elementary-aged children by teaching them first to read code before they write it. The main objective is to educate children on basic concepts of computer science. Design/methodology/approach Children are given tablet computers that present a simple program line-by-line that they execute as they pretend to be a computer. The programs are acted out on a portable dance floor consisting of colored tiles, and the program statements instruct the child to move, turn and act out dance poses and terminology. Findings The Dancing Computer prototype was tested in six different locations in 2016, reaching approximately 250 students. Learning was demonstrated by significant improvements in both task duration and error performance as students performed the activities. The most common errors were movement errors, where participants failed to move the correct number of squares. Social implications This project has the potential to increase the level of computer literacy for thousands of children. This project’s goal is to increase understanding of what a computer does, what a program does and the step-by-step nature of computer programs. Originality/value This is a unique and a different approach – the norm being to start students off writing code in some language. In Dancing Computer stages children as readers of programs, allowing them to pretend to be a computer in a fun and engaging activity while also learning how computers execute real programs.

Abstract:

Today, improving instructional technologies have increased at a significant pace particularly with the introduction of computers in education. Computers have contributed greatly to every field of education. Computers have supported the preparation of powerful audio-visual materials with multiple-media features and have also empowered the education sector with the software options intended for different fields. Consequently; computer-assisted education (CAE) has come into its own.As the use of computers has become widespread and computers have found an important place in education, attitudes about computer-assisted education have become important, as well. Particularly the empowerment of the attitudes of teacher candidates, as the educators of the future, toward computer-assisted education, is a significant gain for education.Computer literacy lessons provided for in education faculties are significant in that they may help teacher candidates to prepare computer-assisted education materials and to use computers effectively in education process.Finding out whether the attitudes toward computer-assisted education have positive impact on exam anxiety in computer lessons, analysing the factors which determine the attitudes, and understanding the reasons for anxiety will be useful in carrying out new researchers in order to make significant contributions to education processes.This research included 46 teacher candidates studying Computer-Assisted Music Teaching in the Department of Music Teaching Education at Marmara University. The students completed the exam anxiety inventory and CAE attitude scale prior to administration of the computer-assisted music education exam. The results of the research indicated a significant negative relationship between the students’ CAE attitude levels and their anxiety levels. Findings of the scales showed that, CAE attitudes were high and anxiety levels were low. Findings of the study indicated that the computer education they received contributed positively to their computer experiences and their attitudes towards CAE.

Abstract:

The implementation of computers in chemistry education since 1960 is described. Computers can be applied effectively to redress weaknesses in the basic scientific knowledge of students, as well as to augment their practical experience of chemical processes. Often the description or the explanation of chemical processes relies on mathematical and physical models that are three dimensional and dynamic and that can be presented elegantly with digitized images on computer. Current demands on lecturers and students, as well as didactic applications of computers in tertiary teaching are briefly described under the following headings: computer literacy, subject or task specific applications, computer aided testing, computer aided learning, interactive multimedia, the use of electronic media for lecture presentations, Internet, and mass education.

Abstract:

People are living in a society with numerous applications of computer technology; hence, achieving the goal of computer literacy is currently implemented in schools at various levels. In general, computer literacy includes basic knowledge and skills of computer technology (computer achievement), computer attitudes, and computer anxiety. This study viewed students' learning strategies as an important variable related to their computer literacy. Through collecting research data from 75 Taiwanese eighth graders enrolled in a computer course, this study revealed that students with higher-order metacognitive skills in monitoring their comprehension, selecting main ideas, and using resources helpful for learning tended to have higher computer achievement, better computer attitudes, and lower computer anxiety. In particular, the strategy of finding and using other study aids seemed to help the students have better attitudes and lower anxiety of learning computers.

Abstract:

The study sought to establish teachers’ perception on the use of computers to facilitate teaching and learning in Nyagatare District, Rwanda. The study was descriptive in nature. The target population was 74 teachers from which 53 participated in the study through filling a questionnaire. The study revealed that participating teachers appreciated the role of computer in facilitating learning. Teachers rated themselves as moderately computer-literate but schools did not have equipped computer laboratories and therefore access to computers was limited. As a result, teachers used their personal computers to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Based on the conclusions, the study recommends that schools should work hard together with the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders towards attainment of equipped computer laboratories. To enhance teachers’ computer literacy and positive attitude towards computer use, continuous professional development is highly recommended.

Abstract:

Industrialized nations have invested a great deal of public and private resources to facilitate access to information technologies (ITs) and to adjust their cultures and societies to them. These efforts are commonly associated with the idea of expanding computer literacy from higher education institutions to business organizations. Computers have fundamentally altered how we live and work, as well as how we learn and have transformed the world into a global community. Moreover, business organizations have struggled to train and to turn their workforce into a computer literate group that keeps a breast of changes in computing and information technologies, since most of the work does not rely on standardized literacy levels to perform well. This paper presents an examination on current computer literacy skills between groups of adult students enrolled in accelerated undergraduate business programs in the USA and in Germany. Special emphasis is granted to the discussion of the similarities and differences found in computer literacy skills and the implications associated with having literate and illiterate groups in the workplace.

Abstract:

Information literacy is one of the competencies of the library profession. Information literacy is needed in the work of librarianship. Reference service, the key determinant of library status in the society, requires competencies in information literacy. The purpose of this study is to find out how librarians in Indonesia meet the requirement of information literacy competencies and what factors affect the mastery of information literacy. This study is a qualitative research with literature survey. Based on the existing literature, the hypothesis was developed that librarians of Indonesia have information literacy skills if their personal development are supported by both internal and external factors. Internal factors comprise motivation (encouragement of work, efforts to achieve success, material and non-material motivation), attitudes towards the profession (job satisfaction, professional satisfaction, and organizational commitment), and other knowledge-skill-attitude (knowledge, computer literacy, digital literacy, and English language skills), educational background, and level of education. While external factors include availability of computers and Internet network, library policy to support the development of information literacy of librarians.

Abstract:

Empirical evidence has revealed that affective-motivational variables such as pre-service teachers’ attitudes, computer literacy skills, self-efficacy, self-concept and concerns play a key role in their pedagogical decisions regarding how to integrate technology within classroom practices. This study sought to investigate pre-service teachers’ computer literacy skills and attitude when they first enter the teacher training institutions. By means of hierarchical cluster analysis, this study also examined the relationship between male and female pre-service teachers’ attitudes as well as their respective computer literacy skills. A total of 449 pre-service teachers participated voluntarily in the study through a multistage sampling procedure. The results revealed that pre-service teachers’ computer literacy skills is generally basic. Also, respondents in the study indicated a positive attitude regarding the use of technology in classroom instruction. Lastly, findings in this study further indicated that there is no significant difference between male and female students in terms of computer literacy and attitude to use computers for teaching and learning. These findings will contribute to stakeholders’ realization that gender disparity is being bridged. It will afford stakeholders the opportunity to consolidate the gains that have been achieved by giving male and female equal opportunities to the access and use technology in schools.

Abstract:

Understanding end-user populations is required in designing telepractice applications. This study explored computer literacy and health locus of control in head/neck cancer (HNC) patients to inform suitability for telerehabilitation. Sixty individuals with oropharygneal cancer were recruited. Computer literacy was examined using a 10-question survey. The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale Form C (MHLC-C) examined perceptions of health “control”. Participants were mostly middle-aged males, from high socioeconomic backgrounds. Only 10% were non-computer users. Of the computers users, 91% reported daily use, 66% used multiple devices and over 75% rated themselves as “confident” users. More than half were open to using technology for health-related activities. High internal scores (MHLC-C) signified a belief that own behaviour influenced health status. HNC patients have high computer literacy and an internal health locus of control, both are positive factors to support telepractice models of care. This may include asynchronous models requiring heightened capacity for self-management.

Abstract:

The DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) is a nationwide initiative to provide public elementary schools with computers and other ICT equipment to enhance the teaching and learning process. However, the effectiveness of this program and its impact on the computer literacy level of school personnel have yet to be fully explored. This study attempted to fill this gap by examining the perceptions of the school personnel of public elementary schools in the Bohol Division of the Department of Education about the DCP implementation and its relation to their computer literacy level and the problems they encountered in using the ICT equipment in the school year 2020–2021. The study also investigated the influence of the school personnel's profile on their computer literacy level and the problems they encountered. Results revealed that the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) is highly effective, and the computer literacy of school personnel is very satisfactory. There is a significant relationship between the effectiveness of DCP and the problems encountered by school personnel. The computer literacy of school personnel is also significantly related to their years of teaching, specialized training attended, and age. The problems encountered by school personnel are significantly related to their age, gender, years of teaching, specialized training attended, IPCRF rating and DCP packages received. The study concludes that the implementation of DCP and the computer literacy of school personnel are congruent based on the data gathered, despite the problems encountered.

Abstract:

Computers are a fact of life in the twenty-first century. Reading and math literacy have long been considered essential, and technological literacy is emerging as equally important to children’s (and adults’) ability to understand and engage with their world. However, just as it is crucial to learn to write as well as to read, it is crucial that children engage as programmers, as creators, and not only as consumers, of technology.

Abstract:

The importance of computer literacy in today’s’ information based society cannot be over emphasized as undergraduate students are expected to possess adequate knowledge and skills in using information and communication technology especially the computer to access wide range of electronic information. This study presents the computer literacy skills of undergraduate students at the Delta State University, Abraka. The study revealed that some of the computer applications were not fully utilized by the students. Hence, the study suggested the need to improve the students’ computer literacy skills through the introduction of a more practical computer related courses into the curriculum. This should be made compulsory for students irrespective of discipline to enable them acquire computer literacy skills which is vital especially in this technological age where the use of computers have become a necessity for students’ academic success. The study employed a survey research design and a well structured questionnaire was distributed for collection of data. Data collected were analysed using statistical tools such as simple percentage and were presented in table, pie chart and bar chart. The stratified random sampling strategy was applied and the population was divided into four strata. The simple random sampling technique was used to select 50 respondents each from the faculties of Education, Arts, Sciences, and Social Sciences.

Abstract:

AIM: The aim of the present study was to determine students' ability and extent of using computers and internet, and the impact of the Informatics course on students' attitude and using computers in professional purposes. METHODOLOGY: Two hundred randomly selected 4th and 5th year students of the Faculty of Stomatology in Belgrade were divided into 2 groups of 100 students each, regarding the attendance to the Faculty Informatics course. The survey was conducted through an anonymous questionnaire with multiple choice questions concerning the ability to use computers and internet, programs and applications, visiting dental sites at the internet, self-assessment of students' PC skills etc. The data were statistically analyzed, and results were presented on tables and figures. RESULTS: Majority of dental students (85.5%) think PC skills are important for dentists. Statistically more students from the Informatics course can use computers (92%) compared to those (67%) who did not complete this course (p<0.05). In both groups, Internet, email and word are used with high statistical probability. Students use computers mostly for pleasure and much lesser for educational purposes. CONCLUSION: There is a great potential and interest for the use of computers in dental education among students of the Faculty of Stomatology in Belgrade. Faculty Informatics course may be a useful baseline for further implementing electronic learning into dental education.
