Data processing consists of three (3) mechanisms, namely: the input, the process

and the output. The data gathered by the researchers was the input mechanism of the

project’s data processing. On the other hand, statistical procedure and treatment that was

done during the evaluation of data was the process mechanism. Finally, the result of the

study was the output mechanism. Data processing also involves three steps and so the

researchers depended on these three steps. The first step was data categorization. The

next step was data encoding of the gathered information. The last step was the tabulation

of data gathered to arrive at a frequency distribution and organize them in a systematic

order using a table.

The researchers used a five-point scale format with regard to the survey form.

This format is the Likert scale (McLeod, 2008), which is the most widely used approach

to rate and describe the level of agreement with a particular statement of a respondents in

a survey research.

The evaluation form provided five ratings for each statement under each criterion.

This determined the degree of acceptance of each respondent on each statement provided.

Furthermore, it helped the researchers to effectively collect sufficient quantitative data for

evaluation. The researchers used Likert scale in dealing with these data. This statistical

treatment was used by the researchers throughout the data processing procedure of the

study and was verified and corrected by a statistician.

After the system’s evaluation by the respondents, the data that was gathered

through surveys and interviews was analyzed by the researcher to determine each

weighted means. The researchers interpreted the calculated mean that led to the
researchers’ knowledge on the level of acceptability and feasibility of the research proposal.
