1.2 Background of the Study

In this generation, the demand for digital literacy is increasing in the educational

environment. A crucial aspect of digital literacy is proficiency in Microsoft Office

Applications, specifically in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. These applications are

widely used for academic performances, such as document presentation, data analysis,

and visualization purposes.

For Senior High School (SHS) ICT students, acquiring digital literacy skills,

including proficiency in Microsoft Office Applications, is essential in their academic

pursuits. Angono National High School (ANHS) is an institution that offers SHS

strands, including ICT. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the Grade 11 ICT students'
proficiency with Microsoft Office Application at Angono National High School

because it may help them in their academic pursuits.

The main goal of this study is to determine the current proficiency of ANHS ICT

students in Microsoft Office applications, specifically Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

A study conducted at Caramoran Rural Development High School provides

insights into the proficiency of G11 students in Microsoft Word, which is one of the

applications included in the Microsoft Office Application. The conclusions drawn

from the statistical analysis of the study suggest that while Grade 11 students

demonstrate competency in using basic word processing features of MS Word, there

are areas where they show less proficiency (Catanduanes State University, 2019). The

study concludes that Grade 11 students are competent enough in utilizing basic word

processing skills in MS Word, such as formatting text, saving, sharing, and printing

files, as well as inserting images, graphs, shapes, and watermarks. They are also able

to utilize other MS Word features, including spelling checker, find and replace

command, creating mail merge, and using hyperlinks. These findings indicate that

students possess a certain level of proficiency in these specific areas of MS Word.

While the evidence provided in the conclusion of the previous study offers

insights into the proficiency of Grade 11 students in Microsoft Word, there is a

notable research gap when it comes to assessing the overall proficiency of Grade 11

ICT students in Microsoft Office applications (specifically Word, Excel, and

PowerPoint) at Angono National High School. The existing study primarily focuses
