Chapter I
Problem and its Background
This chapter includes the introduction, theoretical framework, statement of the
problem, hypothesis, scope and limitation, conceptual framework, significance of the
study and the definition of terms used.

Introduction
People nowadays are living in an information age and dependent on
digital information. Digital information is electronic information, the result of
computer processing. Every type of job relies upon getting information like using
of it, managing and relaying information to others. Computers enable the efficient
processing and storage information.
A grading system plays a key role in the management system of any
school. As student desires to achieve a good score for assignment, exam, project
and report and others, student must be satisfied on the outcome of their grades.
This process adds heavy workload for teachers and in order to make their
evaluation

fair,

comprehensive

and

accurate

recording

information.

Computerized grading system is highly desirable addition to the educational toolkit particularly can provide less effort and more effective in educational value and
time outcome. For teachers that computing and recording of grades is consume
lot of time instead they spent they time by preparing lesson plan, making of
research or thesis and having time for knowing theirs student.
Developing computerized grading system is to reduce the error and file
handling of records, less manual computation and recording of tasks and
decreased redundancy. Teachers increased the capability to work better and
student should be given lot of attention on their academic performance.

Background of the Study

Nagpayong High School is a public school in Pasig City. It was
established on 2005. Having a huge number of students and it is still increased
yearly. Every section or rooms was overlapped on the maximum number per
section and teachers handle two or more classes and some of them are
coordinator and had position on school, therefore teacher makes workload and
keep busy doing their duty and lessen their time to attend other important
meeting. The manual computation and recording process is prone to error and
redundancy, spreadsheet the common problems encountered by teachers is the
files are being corrupted and started again on top, accidentally or unaware
deleted the files that leads too much consuming of time and delay submitting of
record to the higher supervisor.

Nagpayong High School uses the manual way of computing grades and
adding information or records of both students and professors. The process
entails a lot of effort and by computing and storing of data manually the process
is prone to error especially for the professors who handle two or more classes.
By using the manual way of computing and storing data, being prone to error is
possible and just by a single mistake, repeating the process may be required.

Developing computerized grading system for Nagpayong High School

would make the task of recording and computing grades easier for the teachers.
This not only benefits the teacher of the school but will also benefit the student
because of the improvement in the accuracy of calculation and in the proficiency
and productivity of the teachers.

General Objective
The general objective of this study is to develop a computerized grading
system for Nagpayong High School.
Specific objectives

To determine the effectiveness facilities of computer laboratory.

To create system that will display the student's record such as subject,
score of quizzes, exam and grades.

To create system that will automatically compute the student's grades.

To determine the upside down of computerized grading system.

To Determine levels of acceptance in terms of functionality, reliability,

efficiency, portability and security.

Statement of the problem

The proposed study is the development of computerized grading system
for Nagpayong High School. The study will try to lessen the workload of teachers
in computing and recording of grades.
Specific problem

In particularly, the research aimed to answer the following questions:

What are the effectiveness facilities of computer laboratory?

How does the system will display the student's record?

How does the system will automatically compute the student's grade?

What are the upsides down of computerized grading system?

What is the level of acceptance in terms of functionality, reliability,

efficiency, portability, and security?

Significance of the Study

The computers provide convenience to its user through the easier and
faster way of recording information. The students of Nagpayong High School is
yearly increased, the importance of this study is to help the teachers, staff and
supervisors to keep evaluation fair, comprehensive, and accurate recording
information.
Teachers
Teacher would be able to record and compute for the grades of
their

students faster thereby lessening their workload and providing them

with added

time to attend to other functions. This increased the

capability of teachers to

perform their duties.

School Administrators
School administration is no longer to re-compute the grades of
each student to check on their accuracy. Reports such as grading sheet
and class records can be submitted on time.
Students
Students can look forward to better lessons since their teacher
would have added time to prepare for lesson plans.
Future researcher
To develop resourceful system that will help other to make their
work comfortable. Encourage other people to study or research about
the computerized
grading system.

grading system to discover useful and efficient

Scope and Limitation

This study focused on developing computerized grading system. The
respondent of this study is limited only to the 50 randomly selected respondents.
The system is cannot view online and print by students of NHS.

The study conducted in order to develop grading system to the

Nagpayong High School during 2015-2016. This study is able to help teachers
and students to performed duties better. The proposed computerized grading
system will cover the displaying personal information about subjects, score, and
grades, the recording and computation of scores and grades of students, and the
recording and computation of scores and grades of the students in Nagpayong
High School.

The leading Input variables are the effectiveness of computer laboratory, A

system that display students record, a system that will automatically compute the
students grade, and the upside down of computerized grading system towards
teacher and students of Nagpayong High School. This variables support the
study of development of computerized grading system to be able to conduct
informat6ion and analyze the problem. Hardware and Software are used for the
development of proposed system.

The second frame is method use for gathering information and procedure
to analyze study, to create chart flow and decision making by interviewing
teacher, operator and student of Nagpayong High School, Internet for research,
gathering data, planning for system, and analyze the propose project to specified
the needs of Nagpayong High School.

The third frame work is the output, the development computerized grading
system. This study is able to eliminate the error file handling, the redundancy of
recording and computing of scores and grades, lessen the workload of teachers,
and increased the capabilities of teachers, operator and students to perform
duties.

The arrow includes in chart flow of information of the research process.

The feedbacks connect to the output which involve as well as to the input. It
made the chart flow continuous processing the information.

Theoretical Study
Background Information Discussion on grading began during the 20092010 school year looking at course grade distributions. Current course grades do
not match student performance on standardized tests. PLC Team Leaders and
Mr. Macrafic attended a three day conference on grading in November2010 and
presented initial proposal to staff. Team Leaders and Mr. Macrafic led multiple
whole staff (7-12) discussions to gain consensus on the final proposal. The
primary purpose ofgrade is to communicate student achievement to students,
parents, school administrators, post-secondary institutions and employers.
