Abstract:
This study aims to explore the relationship between the availability of computer laboratory facilities and the academic performance of Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) students in the Programming Fundamentals course. Data were collected through surveys and interviews, examining variables such as the availability and frequency of use of computer laboratories, students' programming proficiency, and their academic performance measured by their General Weighted Average (GWA). Data were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. The results highlight a notable correlation between the utilization of well-equipped computer laboratories and enhanced academic performance in programming courses. The test result shows a strong positive correlation coefficient and is statistically significant. The findings offer valuable insights that may shape not only the strategies of academic institutions but also the aspirations and accomplishments of aspiring BLIS professionals who will help define the information landscape of the future.
