Research Methodology

This sector discusses different factors and methods used in the

completion of the study. It shows how the researchers gathered the

required information for the development of the research paper, who

would be the respondents for the study, the type of research method

that can be used and the software methodology that show how the

whole systems was planned and formed.

Research Design

With the continuous improvement of science and technology, the management of school
students is a very important part of the educational administration and it is the core and
foundation of the entire management. Due to further expand of the size of the school, the
number of students increased year by year and the management of student situation has
become more and more complex. Faced with such a complicated task, if we allow individuals
to manage documents, it will be very time consuming. In recent years, with the rapid
development of the computer, the computer has shown its great role in all areas of society.
Needless to say, the effective introduction of the computer management in school
educational administration is very significant for promoting school management system and
improving the quality of teaching. For these reasons, therefore, the development of student
management system is also a necessary step in the era.

The study aimed to assess the extent of compliance of the student information system of Kalinga

State University Rizal campus. Thus, the study used the descriptive-evaluation research design.

This method involves the collection of data through survey questionnaire and observations in
order to test assumptions or to answer questions concerning current status of the subject of

study. The descriptive-evaluation design was deemed suitable for the study because it involved a

comprehensive analysis of the system’s input, process and output component.

Data Gathering Procedures:

After obtaining permission for the conduct of the study, the researcher administered a survey

questionnaire to obtain the respondents’ assessment of the existing student information system

along the identifies characteristics of the software. 1. An interview and ocular observation were

conducted to assess the performance of the existing system with regards to the enrolment

procedures and keeping of students’ records. 2. After the development of the proposed student

information system the respondents assessed its reusability, maintainability, security, usefulness

and functionality, and evaluation on the system appeal.
