Abstract
Laptop is built to designed for handy and comfort
use in every user around the globe. Besides, Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)
included Computer Systems Servicing (CSS) which is
migrated from Computer Hardware Servicing (CHS)
before. Since Taft National High School obtain this
course for Senior High School, so they seriously needs
complete facilities same likely as what assessment
areas look like. Taking into account, the school
institution is having problem with the lack of
equipment much particularly with the laptop
availability.
Seeing students unable to perform entirely whole
competencies is a left-hanging problem. However, together
with the initiative cooperation and collaboration made by
the researchers they were able to find an alternative way for
resolving station disruption. It is through USB Wi-Fi
adapter which lets desktop computers perform same
capability of laptop during station build-up. As concluded,
null hypothesis is accepted that there is no significant
difference in terms of performance between using desktop
with USB Wi-Fi Adapter and laptop computers. It proves
the validity on the importance of this study as to help the
institution including the Senior High Students.
Background of the Study
Computer Systems Servicing (CSS) is a course
designed to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes of a
Computer Service Technician in accordance with industry
standards. It covers basic, common and core competencies
such as installing, maintaining, configuring and
diagnosing computer systems and networks. The
Department of Education under K-12 curriculum include
this course descending in Technical-Vocational-
Livelihood (TVL) track conjoining Agri-Fishery Arts,
Home Economics, Industrial Arts, TVL Maritime and
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) where
CSS aligned with.

Data Collection Procedure
The steps in conducting this study where the
researchers did is identifying first the following
students who will perform COC’s 2 and 3, after
setting up one (1) optional station good for two way
possible. Afterwards, every participant is monitored
with their respective time one by one that was used
as the basis of determining the data results.
Statistical Treatment of Data
IBM SPSS Statistics 25 is a statistical
software tool used to solve business and research
problems by means of ad-hoc analysis, hypothesis
testing, and predictive analytics. It understands
data, analyze trends, forecast and plan to validate
assumptions and drive accurate conclusions that
can able to decide reliability on which hypothesis
will be rejected or not rejected whether null or
alternative.
Data Analysis
By looking at the “Bell Curve” standard
normal distribution with particular degree of
freedom value together with the tabulated t-value
and calculated t-value the researchers able to
evaluate the portion where the calculated t-value
falls in either of the two regions.

Results and Discussion

Figure 4 presents different scores acquired by
every participant during the performance, in
relation to the time they finish the two
competencies including the tallies and number of
frequencies.
Condition:
If Calculated T-value>tabulated T-value then
null hypothesis will be rejected
If Calculated T-value<tabulated T-value then
null hypothesis will not be rejected
The calculated t-value is 1.633 while the
tabulated t-value 2.776 both with degree of
freedom 4. As a result, the calculated t-value is
less than the table value at an alpha level of 0.05.
The p-value is greater than the alpha level: p
>0.05. So, the researchers’ null hypothesis is not
rejected.
SUMMARY
1. They get more time allowance in every topic
they going to perform, giving them more attention
to be focus on. Nevertheless, retention is never a
problem anymore for the reason that number of
stations can be increase.
2. Students are good of becoming competent
every now and then and can able to compete in
higher work industry. Besides, their confidence is
lifted pursuing to apply those knowledge enabling
them be more effective as student as well as
computer technician.
3. This could really an opening opportunity not
just in school alone but also in the lives of all
incoming Senior High students to help themselves
in learning and mastering all competencies.
4. It is necessary for the CSS instructors to take
consider in building few stations as for the sake of
Senior High students in the meantime as soon as
possible.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the findings of the study, the
researchers have made the following conclusions:
1. There is no significant difference in terms of
performance between using desktop with USB Wi-
Fi Adapter and laptop computers.
2. By simply buying that USB Wi-Fi adapter
ranging price around 300 up to 600 pesos, the
school can accommodate 1 station immediately.
3. It is effective way to set-up stations for
student’s daily training as a sort of preparation for
the coming NC II assessment.
