Abstract

Sri Lanka is a South Asian country with a population of 23 million. In addition to a high literacy, Sri Lanka enjoys a high life expectancy of 74.9, an educated population, good infrastructure, low population growth, and excellent geographical conditions. However, it is still be listed as a developing country. Although there are many issues contribute to this situation, less computer literacy plays a major role. Since the computer literacy rate is only 36.0, Sri Lanka took initiatives to improve computer education. However, these initiatives are not successful due to many reasons such as issues in infrastructure, curriculum, teaching, parenting, motivation, English language and social capital. Hence, this chapter evaluates the current approaches to computer education in the country. This chapter employed the library research method and used content analysis to interpret the data. The finding shows the possibility of applying DBR to improve computer education in Sri Lanka. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
