Development and Effectiveness of Guimaras State College (GSC) Electronic Class Record (E-Class Record)

Abstract

This study aimed to design, develop and evaluate an Electronic Class Record (E-Class Record). Specifically, it seeks to attain the (1) design and develop the electronic class record following the prescribed grading system of Guimaras State College, (2) evaluate the GSC E-Class Record in terms of functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability. The E-Class Record automatically computes the students’ grades following the prescribed grading system of Guimaras State College. The input data were the semester of the academic year, course number, descriptive title, name of professor, course, year and section, adviser, credit units, student number, student name, long exams, quizzes, project/s, output/s, participation, attendance, and performance of the students. The developmental process and prototyping methods were utilized to design, develop, test, and evaluate the e-class record. The researchers conducted a survey, testing, and evaluation from the faculty members of GSC as end-users. Testing has been initiated and evaluated using the standard criteria of ISO IEC 25010:2015 to determine its acceptability. It was evaluated according to its effectiveness as to security, performance, efficiency, compatibility, reliability, maintainability, and portability. Results revealed that the developed E-class record was acceptable and evaluated as very effective for teacher's use.
