An Assessment of Accessibility to a Computer of the residents of Barangay San Isidro,

Malvar, Batangas

I. Introduction
There are finally opportunities open in the barrio of San Isidro in Malvar in the province
of Batangas during the current situation, it has only one sitio named Bulihan. Residents could
be employed or still looking for work or a job as it is their own passion. Businesses tend to
boom as people stay at home managing their businesses, but there are other ways to earn money
in town besides building a business.
Additionally, living in the town of Malvar is open to new businesses or employees in
hospitals and schools. Working in institutions or in homes requires some knowledge of how
computers do its work. It is easy for a person to disremembered use of a computer. According
to a dictionary, if someone is computer-literate, they have enough skills and knowledge to be
able to use a computer. Specifically, some person who has knowledge of spreadsheets, word
processors, and database programs.
Moreover, the research paper is conducted by the researcher as there are tenured and non-
teaching employees or business owners who are not fond of computers. It is to asses computer
attunement of employees’ or business company. The study recommendation shall help
respondents of their own discretion. The researchers will have to solicit responses from
respondents. It is tricky to store data and use a computer for convoluted transactions.

Composite Mean 3.10 High Extent

Table 4 shows the scope of the respondents’ perceptions of accessibility to a

computer in the barangay. Based on the data gathered, the statements “There is access for
basic education (public elementary/ high school) in the community” and “There are
provisions for alternative means of education for special groups of people in the community
(out-of-school youth, indigent, PWDs)” both with a weighted mean of 3.54, interpreted as
“Very high extent,” have ranked as the top. On the other hand, the bottom ranked “There
are programs related to education that are implemented by local government officials in
the community (ex. reading and arithmetic programs for children, reading programs for
challenged youth)” has a weighted mean of 2.38 and interpreted as “Low Extent.”
The data accumulated in the table has a composite mean of 3.10, which is evaluated
as "High Extent". Gaining access to a computer is regarded as satisfactory. The researcher
believes that the accessibility of computers in the community has high availability. They
should implement new programs that are connected to education. And any person going to
move to the barangay for their studies has good support from the government to help them
achieve their education.
