Levels of ICT Literacy and Its Significant Relationship to the Academic Performance of the Grade 10 Students

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between technology skills and academic performance among 14- to 19-year-old students in Baliwag, Bulacan. The study used a statistical analysis to examine how digital literacy, information literacy, and technology literacy affected students' grades, attitudes towards learning, and overall academic achievements. The results showed that there was a moderate correlation between technology skills and academic performance. Specifically, students who were more proficient in digital literacy, information literacy, and technology literacy tended to perform better academically. Additionally, these skills were also linked to more positive attitudes towards learning. The study found no significant relationship between age or gender and academic performance. When asked about their overall perceptions of technology's impact on their education, students generally agreed that technology had a positive influence on their learning experience, although there was some variation in individual opinions. Based on these findings, the study suggests that improving technology skills could be an effective way to boost academic performance. To achieve this, the researchers recommend incorporating more comprehensive technology training into the curriculum to better support students' academic success and attitudes towards learning.
