Development of Computer Skills among Generation Z
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Gen z requires training in the development of the computer skills that are essential for both the academic and career development. This training should be provided for the gen z with the basic education itself. Gen z kids will raise up and doing with a highly stylish media and computer atmosphere and will be more internet savvy and skilled than their gen y forerunners. Objective: the aim of this study is to present a development of computer skills in generation z in educational institution. Methodology: the data has been collected through questionnaire method using the likert scale, on a five-point scale method and spss package was used for analyzing the data. Finding: computer skills are at the core for the gen z. Computer skills are related to all studies because it incorporates a wide range of manageable problem-solving skills and techniques, including logical analysis,creativity, fusion, and assessment. It also educates broad practical skills in the areas of communication, time, administration, organization, and teamwork. Gen zlives in a technological era and computer skills will provide them the knowledge and skills to understand the upcoming and current computer technology and prepare them for budding future technologist. A basic in this discipline will bring-in gen z to the excitement and opportunities afforded by this vibrant field and will set in motion to prepare them for a collection of worthwhile careers. The course on computer skill introduces gen z to computer programming. By the training gen z will start writing simple computer programs by applying fundamental programming concepts, and learn to make clear and maintainable internal documents. They will also study to work with a computer by studying hardware patterns, software assembly, operating system functions, networking, and safe computing practices. Gen z will also look into the social impact of computer technologies, and develop a thoughtful of environmental and ethical issues related to the usage of computers. This study concluded that, there is no positive relationship between residential and the parent’s academic background of the gen z and their perception about the skill development programme. Another finding reported that negative relationship between the gender of the gen z and their perception about the skill development programme.
