 I. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

This study is conducted to determine the level of Preparedness and the competence of the

Grade 11 Computer System and Servicing (CSS) students for the Technical Education and Skills

Development Authority (TESDA) assessment that they will take after the training. It will also

recommend courses of actions in order to maintain and develop their mastery of the area.

1.2 Background

The assessment process is the means to evaluate students’ skills and knowledge whether

both meet the standard competencies, guaranteeing students’ employment with their National

Certificate II. In the study of Mamolo (2019), the evaluation shows that the CSS students are

knowledgeable in their area. Similarly, Zrenjanin (2014), supports this in his evaluation and the

trainors’ observation that the students acquire both knowledge and skills in their respective areas

of training.

1.3 Methodology

The survey questionnaires were distributed to 45 Grade 11 CSS students of the Sisters of

Mary School-Girlstown, Inc. on June 16, 2020. The researchers-made questionnaires are

centered on the four competencies in Computer System and Servicing. The gathered data were

tallied using Frequency Count and Percentage, then analyzed and interpreted with the use of the

Likert Scale. Moreover, tables were also used for further interpretation.
 1.4 Scope

Aside from the level of readiness, this report will also explore other factors that could

affect students’ competence and mastery such as teaching factor.

 II. FINDINGS

Table 1: Assemble and disassemble

STATEMENTS 5 4 3 2 1

1.I can assemble and disassemble system units. 37 8 0 0 0

2.I can configure Bios 45 0 0 0 0

3.I can create Bootable Device 45 0 0 0 0

4.I can install operating system in computer 43 2 0 0 0

5.I can do driver installation 43 2 0 0 0

The Table 1 shows the assembling and disassembling skills of theCss students with

93.78% as the overall percentage.It means that the CSS students are very prepared. This is

justified by the following:I can assemble and disassemble system unit, 82.22%; I can configure

Bios,100%; I can create Bootable Device,100%; I can install operating system in

computer,95.56%; and I can do driver installation,95.56%. On the other hand,6.22% of the

students are only prepared moderately which is justified by the following: I can assemble and

disassemble system unit ,17.78%; I can configure BIOS,0%; I can create Bootable Device,0%; I

can install operating system in computer,4.44%; and I can do driver installation,4.44%.

Thus, all the CSS students are ready in assembling and disassembling the computer

system for the assessment.

12.I can configure WAP 41 4 0 0 0

Table 2 shows the ability of the CSS students to set up a Computer Network,with an

overall percentage of 92.38%, the respondents say they are very prepared. This is justified by the

following: I can do printer sharing, 95.56%; I can do IP addressing, 97.78%; I can connect

LANS and WANS accurately, 71.11%; I can do simple sharing, 100%; I can configure routers,

95.56%; I can configure WAP, 91.11%.On the other hand, 6.67% say they are moderately

prepared as shown in the following: I can do printer sharing, 0%; I can do IP addressing,

2.22%; I can connect remote desktop, 0%; I can configure routers, 4.44%; and I can configure

WAPS, 8.89%. Furthermore, 2.22% are prepared.

Thus,most of the students are ready in setting up a Computer Network for the assessment.

Table 3: Server Configuration

STATEMENT 5 4 3 2 1

 Table 3 shows the preparedness of CSS students for their assessment about server

configuration. There are 75.56% who are very prepared. 22.22% are moderately prepared, while

2.22% are only prepared. Hence, most of them are very prepared.

The table 4 shows the preparedness of CSS students regarding their troubleshooting

skills.There are 91.11% of them who are very prepared.Meanwhile, 8.89% are moderately

prepared.Therefore, most of them are very prepared and all are ready for the assessment.

20. I am confident that I am competent 18 26 1 0 0

The table 5 shows the level of preparedness of the CSS students as affected by some

factors. 48. 85% say that they are very prepared. This is reflected in the following: I was taught

by our mentor properly, 84.44%; My mentor answers my question about the topic, 66.67%; I

understand what our mentor taught us during the discussion, 37.78%; I can answer questions

about the topic when asked, 22.22%; I can do the task given to me properly within the time

frame, 37.78%; I am confident that I am competent, 40.00%.

Meanwhile,50% are moderately prepared as shown in the following: I was taught by our mentor

properly, 15.56%; My mentor answers my questions about the topic, 33.33%; I understood what

our mentor taught us during the discussion,62.22%; I can answer questions about the topic when

asked,73.335; I can do the task given to me properly within a time frame,57.98%; and I am

confident that I am competent,57.78%. Lastly, 1.85% of the respondents say they are only

prepared .4.44%,4.44%, and 2.22% can answer the question about the topic, can do the task

given before the time, and are confident that they are competent, respectively.

Thus, the CSS students do well during their training period and are also ready to take the

assessment.

Figure 1 shows the Level of Preparedness of the CSS students according to the range itt

falls into the likert scale. It is found out that 100% of the CSS students are very prepared to take

the TESDA assessment. 0% of them are moderately prepared, prepared, poorly prepared, and not

prepared.

III. CONCLUSION

Based on the findings, the CSS students are all ready for the assessment, since they

master the competencies well. They have the greater chance of passing it and receive the

National Certificate II. However, a few of them are not yet confident about their competence.

IV. RECOMMENDATION
 Based on the conclusion, the researchers recommend that the students must keep

practicing and pay attention every training session. As for the trainors, they must continue to

give the students more activities, drills, and pre-assessments to fully develop their skills in CSS
