Abstract


The main objective of this study is to assess the utilization of visual basic software and its effect on students’ performance in computer programming. This study made use of the descriptive correlational method of research that utilized a standardized questionnaire as the primary data-gathering tool. The results were analyzed and interpreted using statistical tests such as mean and regression analysis to determine the effect of the utilization of visual basic software on students’ performance in computer programming. The utilization of visual basic software and computer programming performance of the students were quantified using frequency counts and weighted mean procedures. Using the aforementioned procedures, the findings of the study showed that the utilization of visual basic software was “very frequent” in terms of navigation, productivity, applicability, drill, and practices. In addition, the student’s computer programming performance was “very satisfactory” as exhibited by the general weighted mean score. Lastly, it is revealed that the utilization of visual basic software significantly affects the computer programming performance of students in terms of planning, flowcharting, designing, coding, and debugging. Many implications were drawn based on the findings of the study that can be used in the utilization of visual basic software concerning computer programming performance.
