Enhancing Computer Literacy of Grade 5 Learners using Inquiry - Based Strategy

This study used a descriptive method of study. The researcher used a quantitative method to determine the performance level of Grade 5 learners in ICT before and after using an Inquiry-based strategy. Moreover, a significant difference between the performance level of Grade 5 learners in ICT before and after using the Inquiry-based strategy was also determined.30 purposively selected pupils were the respondents being employed by the researcher. Based on the findings the conclusions were drawn that 20 out of 30 belong to developing and it is in the bracket of 70-75 level of performance. The skills performed of the grade 5 learners with the Performance level of 78.81 belong to developing. The computed value is higher than the critical value which means that there is a significant difference between the performance level of grade 5 learners before and after using the Inquiry-based learning strategy. Based on the conclusions, the following recommendations are drawn and students may discover new concepts in ICT subjects despite from lack of resources to enhance their academic performance. Since the Department of Education, today is lack of budget to help improve the pupils in their academic performance.21st-century teachers may scaffold strategies to enhance the performance of the students in ICT subjects. May the results National Achievement Test of the pupils improve and may have prior knowledge in the subject. The Department of Education may fully support the continuing professional development of students based on the principle of lifelong learning and DepEd?s commitment to the development of teachers? potential aimed toward their success in the curriculum.
