RESEARCH DESIGN
Sample Research Design: This study used a descriptive method under a qualitative

research design to describe and evaluate the extent of the satisfaction, from a specific population,

with the use of the turnstiles in monitoring their attendance. The researchers also used

descriptive research for more accurate understanding on different variables related to the study

about turnstiles. The researchers used survey questionnaire as an instrument to gather data.

Survey questionnaires were given to the 60 students randomly selected out of the total 229 Grade

7 students. The researchers tallied the data from the respondents and get the percentage.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

Sample Data Gathering Procedure: The study was conducted within the school year

2016-2017 among the grade 7 students of Our Lady of Peace School, Antipolo City.

The researchers made a formal letter to the subject teachers and the assistant principal for

permission to administer the questionnaire. Upon the approval, the questionnaires were

distributed to the selected Grade 7 students and administered the questionnaires to 60

respondents. Since the Grade 7 level has 6 sections, the researchers randomly selected 10

respondents each section. The names of the respondents are strictly confidential. Then, the

researchers classified the overall data according to the level of satisfaction for attendance

monitoring and security of the Grade 7 students of Our Lady of Peace School. The researchers

interpreted, analyzed, tabulated, and tallied the results.

Table 2. Survey Results

Table 2 represents the results of the survey. 60 participants answered the 10 questions

given by the researchers. If they strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree on the

statement.

Based on the statement number one, 36 (60%) of the students agree that, turnstile

monitors the students’ attendance, while the lowest percentage is 1 (2%) said that they disagree.

This means that the turnstile tracks the students’ attendance. Aside from the class secretary

monitors the attendance, this technology or the turnstile helps in monitoring the attendance of the

students. It audits the student who enters the school neither early nor late.

Based on the statement number two, 31 (52%) agree while 1 (2%) disagree on the

statement. It shows that, it prevents unknown person to enter the school campus. Unknown

person can’t enter the school premises because he / she don’t have the access to enter the school.

With the use of the identification card, you can have the permission to come in school.

Based on the statement number three states that, turnstile was a cause of delay because of

its turning mechanism/turnstile arm. Highest percentage 30 (50%) disagree while the lowest 2

(3%) strongly agree. It doesn’t waste time because it organizes the students to come in the school

one by one. It also teaches them to be in order and in harmony. It practices them to be more

disciplined.

Based on the statement number four, 36 (60%) strongly agree on the statement and 3

(5%) strongly disagree on the statement. The statement is, encourage students’ not to cut class.

The turnstile monitors the time they entered so they are not allowed to cut their class because it

can easily see that they entered the school but did not attend the class.

Based on the statement number five states that, Turnstile is beneficial to schools’ security

system. 18 (30%) agreed on the statement while 11 (18%) disagreed. It shows that, it is

beneficial especially on the school security system. Also the school doesn’t need much of

security guards to monitor the students manually.

Based on the statement number six, turnstile makes me feel safe and secured. 30 (50%)

students agree on the statement and 2 (3%) disagree/strongly disagree. The turnstile helps the

security by not allowing the intruders to enter the school. The identification card that they school

gave, is the one giving access to the students, teachers, other personnel to come in school.

Based on the statement number seven, the messages were delayed. 24 (40%) agree and 6

(10%) strongly disagree. This statement shows that the turnstile system needs improvement

because one of its main functions is alerting parents about their children’s attendance. The

messages were not sent on time to the parents.

Based on the statement number eight, 38 (63%) agree on the statement and 3 (5%)

disagree / strongly disagree. This states that, turnstile needs more improvement in terms of

reliability. Just like statement number seven, the turnstiles sometimes have problems about

sending messages and need changes to satisfy the insecurities of the school.

Based on the statement number nine, a cause of delay because of traffic of the students.

37 (61%) agree and 1 (2%) disagree on the statement. This statement shows that when many

students entered the school, they began to queue up on swiping their ID’s.

Based on the statement number ten, highest percentage 29 (48%) agree on the statement

while 2 (3%) disagree. It states that, the students were satisfied on the turnstile system. They feel

more protected from danger because of the security system in Our Lady of Peace School. It

observes the attendance of the students.

CHAPTER 4
CONCLUSIONS
Sample Conclusions:
1. Most of the participants were around 13 to 14 years of age. Majority of them were female

(65%) while the male ranges only in 35%. This is the range of ages where the parents are

more worried.

2. The parents are receiving messages when the students tap their IDs on the turnstiles.

Therefore, the turnstile really does monitor the attendance of the Grade 7 students of Our

Lady of Peace School even when the messages are received later than it should be.

3. According to the Grade 7 students, 50 % of them agreed that they feel safe and secured

with the turnstiles installed at the entrance of the school while 3% of them think that

turnstiles weren’t enough to protect them. Turnstiles can help prevent unknown people

enter the school, and they can only enter if they informed the guard about their presence.

The researchers conclude that the turnstiles can protect the students from actual danger,

but if the students caused harm to others, it can’t protect them from consequences.

4. Based on our survey, 27% agree that their parents receive were always delayed or they

never receive any messages at all while 10 % of them disagreed. It means that not only

parents were affected by this, but it also makes the students worry in what they should

answer if the parents ask why the messages were always delayed. They can even doubt if

their children really go to school or not. The researchers conclude that the turnstiles need

more improvement, specifically the time when the parents should receive the messages.

5. Based on the answers of the Grade 7 students to our survey questions, 44% of them

strongly agreed that they were satisfied in using the turnstiles in entering and leaving the

school while 5% of them disagreed. The researchers therefore concluded that majority of

the students were satisfied on the turnstile system of Our Lady of Peace School, but there

are some that are not satisfied with the turnstile systems’ performance.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Sample Recommendations:

1. Since girls mostly answered the survey questionnaires, the researchers were

recommending that equal number of respondents in terms of gender would participate in the

study to further justify the research and come up with a more reliable result. In this manner, the

researcher would verify whether the tapping of ID in turnstile is being followed in entering and

going out of the school campus.

2. This research proved that having turnstile system helps a lot in students’ security and

helps the teachers, especially the class advisers as well as the parents in monitoring attendance

and for other security purposes.

3. The researchers recommend that a longer time must be given in conducting the

research for a more decent and valid research that would be able to help researchers for future

studies.

4. The researchers would recommend that the school needs to give a close attention in

maintaining in the turnstiles system. Turnstile system needs consistency in terms of its functional

performance to be reliable tool in monitoring students’ attendance and for students’ security.

Technical problems must be attended and be fixed at once.

5. Given that the turnstiles are available only to some school with the results of this study

on the level of satisfaction on the use of the turnstile system in monitoring students’ attendance

and security, this would help in the decision making of other companies, schools, and institutions

to adopt and acquire the turnstile system.
