Abstract ABSTRACT
The study titled “The Impact of Internet Access on Basic Information Technology for Educational Needs in Triple S-B, Province of Zamboanga del Norte: A Proposed JRMSU Internet Café” was conducted at the national high schools in Triple SB during the school year 2024–2025. The research aimed to determine how hands-on Internet experience influences basic information technology knowledge and the lives of fourth-year high school students enrolled in these schools.
The respondents were selected randomly using the Slovin formula. A total of 300 fourth-year students participated in the study. A questionnaire checklist was used as the primary data-gathering instrument. Before its use, the questionnaire was tested for validity and reliability to ensure accuracy. After obtaining permission from the appropriate authorities, the researchers personally distributed and administered the questionnaires. Interviews were also conducted to clarify or complete unanswered questions from the respondents. The collected data were then tallied, analyzed, and interpreted using appropriate statistical tools.
The results revealed that most respondents recognized the importance of computer literacy in their studies. Many students reported that computer knowledge helps them perform academic tasks more effectively, particularly in solving mathematical problems, which ranked first among the survey results. The findings also indicated that Internet use significantly influences students’ lives, especially by improving the speed and efficiency of communication.
Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that most respondents were female and non-working students. Many of their parents had incomes around the poverty level, and a number of students lived far from Internet cafés. Nevertheless, students believed that being Internet-literate provides significant advantages for learning, and Internet use greatly affects their daily lives and understanding of information technology.
Based on these conclusions, the researchers recommended that schools implement socialized tuition and matriculation fees to allow more students—especially those already knowledgeable in computers and the Internet—to pursue college education. The school administration should also provide more computers with Internet access to expand students’ knowledge and keep them updated with modern technology. Computer instructors are encouraged to deliver effective instruction to develop competent and reliable computer-literate students. Furthermore, the college curriculum should integrate computer-based learning, which can be achieved through academic consultations within the institution. Finally, the establishment of more Internet centers is recommended to give students greater opportunities for hands-on Internet access, possibly through the support of technology-oriented entrepreneurs and investors.
