Abstract

This study assessed the level of mastery of the barangay officials in computer literacy in terms of Computer Management, Word Processing (using MS Word), Spreadsheet (using MS Excel), Presentation (using MS PowerPoint), Internet (browsing and searching) and E-mail.

The descriptive research design was used in this study. The respondents were comprised of Barangay Captain, Barangay Secretary, Barangay Treasurer and seven Barangay councilors of selected barangays in the Municipality of Buenavista, Guimaras whose term started from October 2013 to October 2016.

Findings showed that majority of the barangay officials have ages above 40 years old, female, and married. Most of the respondents were college level and with a monthly family income 5,000 and below.

Results also showed that the respondents’ level of mastery in computer literacy is affected by age, civil status, and educational attainment. Age has a significant relationship in the respondents’ level of mastery in computer literacy which would mean that the younger the age, the more clienteles begin understanding and experience computer technology.
