CHAPTER I

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY


The mobile phone is now an integral part of everyday life for most people. Its
capabilities have expanded from being restricted to voice communication to include data
transfer and internet browsing. Throughout the academic year, Online Student Credentials
Management System is designed to help users to maintained and be organized. It will helps
registrar to make their work easier and faster. This system helps users to inquire for a
softcopy of a credentials needed. It will also help registrar workers to easily identify the
students who request for their requirements.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
UDM students who need to ask for credentials do not need to line up and request them
because in the UDM Credentials APP they just log in using their student number and they can
request the requirements they need. This app is useful for all UDM students that needs their
credentials immediately.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
• To students who needs their credentials immediately

• To students who doesn’t need to stand in line

• To just go for releasing and get it to design this system for future use

PROJECT SCOPE AND LIMITATION


This project will be provided to every UDM student. This app will be like the UDM
portal. The system will only provide a soft copy of the requested credentials and reduce the
time of requesting. When you open the application (UDM Credentials APP) you can see the
list of the credentials and the requesting form.

This system will only operate wherever and whenever the student is, as long as the
student has an access to the internet, and the system is only exclusive to the students of
UDM and the Registrar’s Office. The files or credentials that is uploaded on the system are
not the official documents but it is only to provide copies to the students since the official
authentic documents from the University itself were dry sealed.
The system offers different set of modules, features, and functions to simplify the
systems function, and those are the following:

HTML and CSS are the ones that is used to create the front end of the system,
whereas, PHP and MySQL is for the backend of the system. The system is created
considering the possible future experiences or by looking into the system as a user/client to
make it as a user-friendly system as possible for all exclusive clients which were the
students, registrar and the admins.

Front end - focused on the visual aspect of our website that the part of the user sees and
interacts with. It seems that when the student opens our website, that's what they see on the
screen. The code used here is html and css.

Back end - this is the support code that the user can't see, it seems to be the life of the front
end that if you don't have a back end, the front end won't work, the code used here and php
and sql.

Functions – is defined as a relation between a set of inputs having one output each. In simple
words, a function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one
output. Our system has the following functions : Store data and information, Input,
Processing, Output and Communication devices.

The system offers different set of modules, features, and functions to simplify the systems
function, and those are the following:

 Login Module for the user of the system.

 Request Module for request of credentials section.


 Credentials Module that stores all of the credentials of the student that is saved on the
system.
 Users Information Module which also consists Data Entry Module for data entry, and
data adjustments of the users profile.

The Online Credentials is not capable to monitor the theft detection of any soft copy of the
files and used for user log purposes only. It does not have receiving of hard copy station
(receiving station) that can be located anywhere, within or outside the registrar office.

The Students can log into the system using their accounts, which the admin must validate. The
system will give the staff members of the Office of Student Affairs and Services individual
accounts so they can access the system's features.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY


This study was created to gather some information from the people of UDM to figure out
how to help the University effortlessly provide their students with the best accommodation
into gathering the credentials needed by the students.

• Students - This research benefits and helps the students to gather a soft copy of their
needed credentials or documents easily that they can also print out themselves without
the hustle to travel to the University by using the website and logging in using their own
account using their own student number that is only provided by the University.

• Registrar - This study will be very beneficial not just to the students alone, but also to
the people that work under the Registrar’s Office since they just need to upload the
students' credentials into the system, and they no longer need to be stressed out several
times because of a ton of requests from the students waiting in line unless they request
the official credentials that include the dry seal of the university.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

The researcher has found the following studies and literature as relevant to the system
being proposed.

A. Related Literature

Foreign Literature
According to Mr. Sangamesh K 1 (2018) Most of the Academic institutions
face difficulty in managing records of students, attendance, accounts, admissions, etc.,
and track the information of their interest as they still rely on paperwork and manual
processes. A web-based school management system will reduce the manual work by
deploying centralized software incorporated with various loosely coupled services
which interact with each other to address above mentioned issues and improves the
communication between management and the student/guardian through notifications
via email, SMS and push messages. According to Elizabeth Redden (2012) An audit
released earlier this year found that the university admitted students to programs it
offered jointly with Chinese and Russian universities even though they lacked
standardized English proficiency test scores and official transcripts; at least 15
students fell short of the 2.0 grade point average cut-off. Dickinson State received
very little documentation directly from its partner institutions in China and Russia.
Instead, the university relied almost wholly on information from overseas agents –
paid per-capita commissions – who verified the students’ English language abilities.
As for transcripts, students adopted the DIY approach, using Microsoft Excel and
university logos cut and pasted or purchased online.

Howard Li and Ruslan Vovk (2010) stated that this research shows that
Academic advisors, graduate academic units, registrars, world evaluation services,
and other organizations are often responsible for understanding and evaluating high-
school, college and university diplomas/certificates from culturally and
organizationally different institutions: such a task raises several problems including
diverse degree levels, diverse grading approaches, different course structures,
incompatible academic credit systems, and proper translating between languages,

further more according to Oksana Biletska (2010) The electronic assessment of


credentials and competencies for academic advising are relatively new trends in
education, especially if the assessment is conducted (semi) automatically based on
documents (transcripts, resumes, etc.) provided by potential learner, who need an
advise for continuing learning. Both tasks, assessment of credentials and assessment
of competencies, belong the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR),
which is actively discussed in educational and technical citeded by Yevgen Biletskiy
(2010)

Local Literature

The University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (2021)


stated that they has launched a clearance system that does not require students to
physically show up in school. The school’s Digital Transformation Office came up
with the new system to protect students and staff during the pandemic. “The
eClearance System helps the students settle their obligations and secure clearance
without going physically to any USTP campus and office. With travel restrictions in
place and other safety protocols implemented, the students need not fall in line or
travel. The signatures are requested online from different individuals and signatories
in the university,” USTP said. “With the new eClearance System, a student is cleared
by default, unless an office tagged the student to settle either University Obligations
(books, government properties, tuition) or Private Obligations (PTA fees, student
organizations, GSFI for graduates),” it added. The university said that once the
student’s clearance was tagged, a notification via email will give instructions on how
to settle the obligations and liabilities.

According to Isaiah Ola (2022) With its 25,000 students, Far Eastern
University (FEU) ranks among the biggest universities in the country in terms of
population and with a large population comes multiple problems in enrolment, student
records entreated data! Wanting a lasting solution to the problem, FEU asked
consultants for recommendations she result was a decision to automate FEU's
enrolment system FEU decided to automate the enrolment system into phases, the
development of a system for enrolment and student records for phase l, and (2) the
integration of the students’ financial records for. They worked closely with
SQL*Wizard to pilot E*Wizard, an integrated system for student enrolment that
contains modules with extensive inquiry

and reporting capabilities they also tapped FEUs computer services department to
iron out kinks they received organizational structures, assigned people to support
groups and asked faculty advisers and staff to train she also met with the
representatives of individual institutes and with the support of the academic managers
and SQL*Wizard's technical group, plotted the move to launch an integrated system
during the second semester. According to Partido State University (2020) One of the
online solutions sought to reduce or eliminate face-to-face transactions under threats
of COVID-19, the Online Student Clearance System or OSCS rolls out of the
Information and Communications Technology Management Office (ICTMO)
development workshop. Now fully operational to cater to requests of students for
clearance, the system designed and developed by ICTMO’s programmer, Mr. Aldwin
R. Seboguero, under the directions and supervision of the ICTMO Director, Dr.
Ronnel R. Atole, allows students to request clearance from offices anywhere through
the internet. It is designed and implemented in the Laravel MVC (Model-View-
Controller) framework and is currently hosted in a cloud infrastructure. The OSCS
was designed for the online application, processing, and submission of student
clearance with the main goal of minimizing, if not eradicating, face-to-face
transactions of students and staff. The interaction between the offices-signatories and
student-applicants is transformed into the virtual environment.

Foreign Studies
Donia I. Alsayed (2014) stated that the development of technology has made
the world a smaller place where communicating instantaneously irrespective of the
geographical location is a way of life. Electronic Forms (E-FORMS) are an easy way
to communicate efficiently with students. At present, universities are still using old
systems for communication where efforts to improve the system is a lethargic
process. As most of these universities are still using student forms manually, the
introduction of E-FORMS will speed up the whole process and positively impact in
communicating efficiency. In addition, the inconvenience of making numerous visits
to the university is sometimes seen as a hassle but due to lack of Information
Technology (IT) development in universities, this is the usual pattern still seen at
most universities. In this study, the use of E-FORMS at universities is proposed to
help students and university staff to communicate effectively and efficiently.

Local Studies
Sargent Red Panda of University of South-eastern Philippines (2020) stated
that the Student‘s Online Clearance System (SOCS) is system that will systematically
checks balances, fees and other obligations of the students at the University through
online by the use of their ID number and provided password. The students can also
change their username and password if they want to. As what the researchers
observed in the current clearance system it is so hustle for us as a student; forming
line, waiting for another day to comply the obligation of any offices and sometimes
loss the clearance slips or some important receipts. So, we came up this project to
resolve the state problem by developing an online system software through this
system even if you lose your important receipts or you have an obligation of any
offices the database of this system will search for a particular student to check if
he/she has an obligation or he/she has paid the miscellanies fees. If the student does
not have that policies, it will automatically put a ―Clear‖, or otherwise―Not Clear‖.
The system also helps every student to accomplish their clearances without so much
pressure on time. The main objective of this project is to have an easy way of signing
clearance for the student and also for the offices because this system is automated.

According to Percia V. secreto and Rhodora L. Pamulaklakin (2015) Learner


support in an open, distance and online learning is defined as “all activities and
elements in education that respond to a known learner or group of learners, and which
are designed to assist in the cognitive, affective, and systemic realms of the learning
process” (Brindley, et. al, 2004). Teaching and tutoring, advising and counselling, and
information and administration are the main institutional systems involved in learner
support. The UP Open University functions under an open and distance e-learning
(ODeL) framework of distance education where most of its academic and non-
academic processes are done through the Internet. It has developed an online
Academic Information Management System (AIMS) which serves as the gateway to
the University’s academic operations. The Online Student Portal (OSP) is the
component of the system for the students. OSP serves such functionalities as online
registration, viewing of grades, request for their records, payment of fees, and
information hub. The study analysed the learners’ satisfaction with the portal’s
functionality, efficiency, appearance, ease of use, and security. An online survey was
conducted of continuing undergraduate and graduate students (n=147) who were

CHAPTER III

Methodology

This chapter presents methods of research, project design, software development tool,
Software evaluation tool, project criteria, respondents of the study, sampling techniques,
software testing techniques, and statistical treatment of the data.

Types of Research Method

Proponents see the study as a combination of developmental and descriptive studies.


Development studies are applied as the proponent develops, designs, analyzes and evaluates
the entire system. Development research is defined as the systematic study of the design,
development, and evaluation of educational programs, processes, and products that must meet
criteria of internal consistency and effectiveness, as opposed to simple educational
development. I'm here. Development research is particularly important in the field of
education technology. The most common types of development studies involve situations
where the product development process is analyzed and described and the final product is
evaluated. The second type of development research focuses on the impact of products on
learners or organizations. A fundamental distinction should be made between reporting on
current development research (practice) and describing design and development process
models (theory). Often misunderstood, development research has contributed significantly to
the growth of the field as a whole and has served as a foundation for model building and
theory building.

Descriptive studies are often used as a precursor to quantitative study design, and
general reviews provide valuable guidance on which variables are worth testing
quantitatively. Quantitative experiments are often expensive and time consuming, but can
help determine which hypotheses are worth testing. To do this, we need to collect data that
provides or describes information about a person, group, or situation.

Software Evaluation Tool

Testing of the System would be conducted to assess the acceptability and


functionality of the overall project. The following activities would be made during system
evaluation:

When developing the system, the researcher selects agile software development. Agile
software development is a collection of iterative and incremental software development
methodologies in which self-organizing, cross-functional teams collaborate to develop
requirements and solutions. An approach to project management known as agile methodology
is typically utilized in software development. Through incremental, iterative work cadences
known as sprints, it enables teams to respond to the unpredictable nature of software

development. However, it is best to first look at the methodology from which the agile
methodology was derived: traditional sequential development or a waterfall.

Figure 9: Agile Model

The Requirements & Analysis phase focuses on the system's actions in an effort to
view all stakeholders, including sponsors and potential users, as significant information
sources. The Design phase takes as its initial input the requirements identified in the
approved requirements document. During this phase, you will create a single, unambiguous
set of requirements that establishes agreement between all stakeholders on what the system
should do, provides developers and all other stakeholders with a clear understanding of the
requirements, defines the boundaries of the system, and prioritizes features to provide a basis
for possible iterations. Interviews, workshops, and/or prototype efforts will result in the
production of a set of one or more design elements for each requirement. Design elements
typically include functional hierarchy diagrams, screen layout diagrams, tables of business
rules, business process diagrams, pseudocode, and a complete entity-relationship diagram
with a full data dictionary to describe the desired software features in detail. The purpose of
these design elements is to provide a sufficient amount of information about the software for
experienced programmers to develop it with little additional input.

The system is installed during the Development phase, where programs are written,
tested, and documented. Systems analysts carry out any necessary modifications and
configurations if the system was purchased as a package. The delivery of a fully functional
and documented system is the objective of the development phase. The system is ready to use
at the end of this phase.

At the conclusion of a project, management should conduct post-implementation


reviews in the Quality Assurance phase to evaluate project management activities and verify
that project objectives have been met. All employees who are actively involved in the
operational use of a product should be interviewed by management, and any issues found
should be documented and addressed.

During the deployment phase, modifications to the hardware, software, and


documentation are made to support the system's operational efficiency. It includes making
adjustments to meet user needs, fix issues, increase security, or boost a system's performance.
Organizations should establish appropriate change management standards and procedures to
ensure that modifications do not impair a system's security or performance or disrupt
operations.
