Computer literacy has become the main agenda in today’s life. It has become
one of the main sources for a country’s development. The main objective of the
research is to measure the level of computer literacy among upper secondary
school students in the state of Kedah. Moreover the research is to identify the relationship between parent’s level of education and income with student’s
computer literacy. Furthermore the study also explores the relationship between
student’s attitude and computer skill with computer literacy. Data was collected
through the questionnaires distributed to 698 students from form four, form five
and Lower Six in twelve secondary schools of seven provinces in Kedah state.
Tools for measurement used in this study are Attitude Toward Computer Scale
(ATCS), Computer Self – Efficiency Scale (CSES) and Minnesota Computer
Literacy and Awareness Assessment Test (MCLAAT). To measure the objective
and to examine the hypotheses of the study, tests such as mean, percentage, Chi
Square and Cramer V are used. Significance level of 0.05 is used to accept or
to reject the null hypothesis. Data is analyzed using Statistical Package for
Social Sciences (SPSS) version 12.0. The study finds that the student’s computer
literacy level is moderately high with mean score of 66.67%. The overall findings
conclude that there is a significance relationship between parent’s level of
education and income with student’s computer literacy. However there is no
significance relationship between student’s attitude and computer skill with
computer literacy. The study suggests that schools should offer more computer
related activities as to increase student’s computer literacy level
