 A GRADUATE TRACER SYSTEM

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a Graduate Tracer of the alumni of Jose Rizal

Memorial State University Main Campus. There were two research methods used by the

researchers namely, constructive and action research. The constructive research method is

a systematic approach that enables the purposeful creation of methods, modules, tools, and

techniques that have applicability well beyond the case study that motivated their creation.

Action research, as the name suggests, involves taking action, evaluation, and critical

reflection. The main assessment tool was the survey questionnaire which was prepared by

the researchers based on ISO 9126 for software quality factor. There were 20 respondents

included in this study. The statistical tools used were the frequency count and mean

computation. The Graduate Tracer of the alumni of Jose Rizal Memorial State University

Main Campus was further found to be "Much Acceptable" in terms of functionality,

reliability, and security and to meet the needs and intended functionalities. All software

projects were also found to have successfully met the fundamental requirements for

accurate calculations. It is recommended that the system may be used as basis for the future

researchers, specifically in locating alumni of the Jose Rizal Memorial State University.

The system should be presented to the University, should be approved, and should be

implemented after a thorough test and evaluation.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Introduction

In today’s generation, websites nowadays are so mainstream. Almost everything

can now be found in websites. Similar to how a research paper is currently accessible

online, surveys about alumni information are collected and generated using websites. It

seems that countless amount of today’s generation is engaged and upgraded rapidly, and

started using various technology platforms. Undeniably, with the use of human

intelligence, it becomes easier to achieve the technology which proves that mans’ learning

has developed over time. Over the years, technology has revolutionized our world and daily

lives. Today, our lives are far more convenient and easier; with everything we need at our

fingertips. Though we may take technology for granted; we need to remember that what

we have today is the culmination of hundreds of years of scientific progress and

breakthrough (aplustopper.com). Technology is a boon for many of us by making our lives

easier; saves time, enable instant communication and interaction, improves quality of life,

helps to ensure safety, easies access to information/ products or services. Thus, in today’s

world, the importance of technology becomes more and more as the years pass. Scientists

have done so much to advance humanity using technology, and we still have a long way to

go. Some people think that modern technology is crucial to humans’ development and

brings great convenience while some individuals believe that life will be more enjoyable

without complex technology.

1
 This study focused on the evaluative process of educational institutions specifically

universities and colleges. The most direct way of evaluating a performance of an

educational institution is to assess the current standing and performance of their graduates

in their undertakings. In order to effectively evaluate the current status and employment

profile of their graduates, these educational institutions implemented graduate tracer

system.

A graduate tracer is a comprehensive, objective, and evaluative system that traces

the current employment status of their graduates and assesses their qualitative

competencies with the job at hand. According to Zembere & Chinyama (1996), a tracer

study’s goal is to successfully comply with the following outcomes: it should shed light on

the employment status of the graduate over a five year period after graduation, analyze the

relationship between the higher education and work, identify and take into account all

possible factors that are essential for professional success of graduates, and evaluate the

experience of the graduates towards the provision and efficiency of the service of the

central aspects of the university towards the graduate’s holistic development.

The outcomes of a university’s graduate tracer system will reflect the effectiveness

and relevance of the policies, curriculums, and strategies imposed by evaluating

institutions. Through identifying the current status of their graduates, they will not only be

able to evaluate the university’s performance but also identify possible deficits in a given

educational program, the results of which will serve as a basis for future planning of

activities at both the institutional and national levels, such that academic programs might

be brought more closely in line with the needs of the economy (Tertiary Education

Commission, 2008).

2
 The main objective of this study, therefore, is to assess the current performance of

its Bachelor of Science in Computer Science graduates in terms of their current

employment status. In line with that assessment, there are a lot of factors that needs to be

weighed out; hence, this study.

Conceptual Framework

In terms of explaining the rationale of choices and decisions made by the graduates,

the key player here would have to be motivation. There are two distinguishable types of

motivations. There are intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. Intrinsic motivation is the

individual’s desire to perform a task for his own sake (Benabou & Tirole, 2003). Extrinsic

motivation, however, as Benabou & Tirole (2003) also wrote, is having the intention of

performing a task only when a receivable reward is presented. Intrinsic and extrinsic types

of motivation have been widely studied, and the distinction between them has shed

important light on both developmental and educational practices (Ryan & Deci, 2000).

Ryan and Deci, (1985) also wrote that human beings can be proactive and engaged or,

alternatively, passive and alienated, largely as a function of the social conditions in which

they develop and function.

Another theory to further support the importance of motivation in this study is the

expectancy-value theory proposes that motivation and effort are the combined result of

people’s expectations of success and the value they attach to that success (Vialle, Lysaght,

& Verenikina, 2005). Based from the ideas of (Atkinson, 1957), the expectancy-value

theory of achievement motivation exerts its effort to explain the people’s choice of

achievement tasks, persistence on those tasks, vigor in carrying them out, and performance

3
on them. He also argued that an individual’s choice, persistence, and performance can be

explained by their beliefs about how well they will do on the activity and the extent to

which they value the activity.

To further elaborate, in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, (Maslow, 1943) believed that

individuals possess a set of motivation systems unrelated to rewards or unconscious

desires. He further detailed that people are motivated to achieve certain needs, and that

some needs take precedence over others. The earliest and most widespread version of

Maslow's (1943, 1954) hierarchy of needs includes five motivational needs, often depicted

as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. This five-stage model can be divided into basic

needs (e.g., physiological, safety) and growth needs (e.g., love, and esteem) which relate

to fulfilling human potential (self-actualization). The basic needs are said to motivate

people when they are unmet. Also, the need to fulfill such needs will become stronger the

longer the duration they are denied. Therefore, one must satisfy lower-level deficit needs

before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs. When a deficit need has been

satisfied it will go away. However, growth needs continue to be felt and may even become

stronger once they have been engaged. Once these growths needs have been reasonably

satisfied, one may be able to reach the highest level called self-actualization. Every person

is capable and has the desire to move up the hierarchy toward a level of self-actualization.

Unfortunately, progress is often disrupted by failure to meet lower-level needs. This is very

important concept to understand because this makes us understand the behavior of human

motivation and how choices are made through personal needs and satisfaction. A major

choice that people make what career, vocation, or profession should they take is definitely

under the influence of the factors mentioned in Maslow’s theory.

4
 Lastly, in order to connect the essential concepts of motivation to career decisions

is Holland’s theory of career choice. (Holland, 1997) wrote that in the society, most people

are one of the six personality types namely: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social,

Enterprising, and Conventional.

Competence
Feeling effective at
one’s activities

Autonomy Enhanced
Motivation
Having a choice, being and performance and
able to be yourself Engagement well-being

Relatedness
Feeling connected to
others, sense of
belonging

Schema of the Study

The schema of the study on the next page presents the relevant problem, which

describes the input, process and output. Each box explained as follows.

The first box contains the input of the general profile, educational background

profile, post-college programs and the employment data of the respondents. The computer

and other gadgets are the main device that will be used for implementing the system.

5
 The second box contains the process that represents the solution of the problem. It

shows the process and the system development life cycle containing the process: Data

gathering refers to the information gathered by the researchers through observation,

research, interviews and survey. Requirements Analysis is to the logical process in making

research. This is where the researchers make use of the resources obtained from the

researchers, observations, interview and survey. Designing is creating a design for the

system study. Coding means using the programming language to get the computer to

behave as desired. Each line of the code is a set of instructions for the computer. A set of

codes form a script, and a set or dozens of sets, form a program. PHP, CSS, Visual Studio,

JavaScript. Data Base: SQL. The Website Order system shall send an e-mail confirmation

to the respondence along with user identification.

There are few constraints that the system should follow. Testing and Evaluation is

a stage where the researchers are going to try or test the efficiency and quality of the system.

Implementation is actual presentation or execution of system proposed, idea, model, design

and algorithm. Documentation refers to information about our research data. It is meant to

make our data understandable to others who might want to reuse it, but also to our future

self.

The third box represents the output of the system. This refers to A Graduate Tracer

System. The specific outputs are: the alumni of JRMSU Main Campus.

Statement of the Problem

This study aimed to develop and determine a graduate tracer system for Jose Rizal

Memorial State University Main Campus, Dapitan City during the second semester S.Y.

2021-2022.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the current status of graduate tracer for Jose Rizal Memorial State

University Main Campus?

2. What are the processes or algorithms that can be formulated and developed for the

Jose Rizal Memorial State University graduate tracer system?

3. What are other existing or similar systems that can be fused and integrated into one

composite system?

4. How does the Graduate Tracer System be measured in terms of;

a. Functionality;

b. Reliability; and

c. Security?

Significance of the Study

The significance of the study is to create A Graduate Tracer System that will provide

secure services to alumni, easy to use and provide management with features of the system.

This study is deemed beneficial to the following:

To the Computer Science Department, that they will know if the graduates are really

finding jobs related to their field, and that the teachers can upgrade the quality of instruction

nor the curriculum being used based on reports.

8
 To the alumni, that they can track their own record in case of urgent use. Additionally,

the system will also able to assist to all former and current students who need assistance

obtaining a job or even an internship.

To the future researchers, that they may use this study as a reference to their

research study.

To the University, that they will benefit, and make use of the information and

analysis of the present study on Graduate Tracer System by making it as their reference

of their research.

Scope and Delimitations of the Study

The scope of the research is to determine whether or not the graduates' specific

assignments connect to their field of study, to calculate how long it takes for graduates to

find employment, and to highlight any potential weaknesses in a particular educational

program.

The researchers gathered data from graduates using survey that is built in to the system

for the graduate’s convenience. The graduates answered the survey questionnaire prior to

the questions demanded by the Department. The data was analyzed and processed to

generate information like, employment rate, relevance of their jobs to their course

graduated, and others. The evaluated information was used to generate reports that will

help the admin get information easily.

The Graduate Tracer System sends emails to the users who answered the

questionnaire, content of the email could be notification from the admin or reminder from

9
the admin about the system update. The system can also generate and analyze reports from

information given by the alumni; the reports will be presented through graphs and charts.

The admin (Computer Science Department), can view results and responses from the

alumni’s answered from, admin can also print reports from the information given by the

alumni’s responses, and can add, edit, delete items in the questionnaire.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the different literature and studies, which are related to the

concept and theory of A Graduate Tracer System. The researchers have mostly gathered

the data from the internet which provides them more ideas and principles for the

improvement/development of the study.

Related literature

According to Kebedom (2010), tracing graduates is to examine the adequacy if one

particular institution provides for manpower needs of all sectors. And to attain this purpose,

the level of employment and unemployment situation of graduates, relevance, and

competence of graduate employees, employer perception, both graduates and employer

feelings were about to deemed. As stated by, graduate tracer study also aims to demonstrate

the success of education and training to the graduates and employers, to find out how the

graduates obtained their first job, to determine whether their work assignments are related

to their field of study and to indicate possible deficits in a given educational program and

serve as basis for future planning activities.

Tracer study was perceived as useful to improve the learning process, and building

alumni network. It’s good that we can improve curriculum based on input from graduates

and stakeholder. Alumni database is including the availability and quality. It’s always

good to know where the graduates located and work.

Foreign Studies

12
 According to M. Shaw (2010), graduate tracer studies provide important

information that will help educational institutions assess the attainment of its vision,

mission and goals. An Online Tool for Graduate Tracer Studies it is a web application that

also allows the users to create custom tracer surveys applicable to their own contexts. With

the iterative systems development as the chosen research framework, feedback gathered

from the pre-tests and the prototyping generated relevant contributions to the development

of the graduate tracer tool.

Local Studies

Verona (2011) conducted a study of employment status of graduates in Polytechnic

University of the Philippines Quezon City, the study reveals that majority of the

respondents are regularly employed and works in the service industry. Most of the

respondents stayed in their first job in 1-6 months. Salaries and benefits are the majority

answer by respondents for their reason in changing their job. Majority of the respondents

found their first job after college in 1-6months. Most of the respondents agree that their

present job is related to their course. Communication skills are the most useful

competencies acquired in college.

Related study by De Ocampo, Bagano, and Tan (2012), the study shows that the

useful competencies learned in the University were communication skills, human relation

skills, critical thinking skills, entrepreneurial skills and problem-solving skills. The result

also indicated that male graduates have greater chances of earning higher initial salary than

female graduates. Majority of the employed graduates specify salaries and benefits, career

challenge and relevance to the course.

13
 A study conducted by Macatangay (2013) in Lyceum of the Philippines University,

Batangas. The findings were greater percentage of the graduate’s work along their field of

specializations while others are working not related to their completed course, mastery in

the subject matter being taught and relating the subjects to other fields and other life

situation were on the top three very relevant factors to employment based on the

respondents’ responses. Salaries, benefits and career challenge are some reasons changing

their job. They are looking for companies where they can apply their knowledge and skills.

In terms of competencies and skills learned in school, communication skills and

information technology skills ranked first, followed by critical thinking skills, problem

solving skills and human relation skills.

Related study made by Laguador and Dotong (2013) a Computer Engineering

student in the same University, Lyceum of the Philippines University, Batangas shows that,

College of Engineering must strengthen their services and focus on the quality of

instruction with the support of research community extension. Annual update of the status

of their graduates and ask for possible curriculum enhancement program they could offer

to college. Understanding and appreciation of natural subjects must be strengthened by the

faculty members in order to apply knowledge in scientific research and developments.

Also in 2013, Macatangay determined the employment status of BS Computer

Science Graduates of LPU from 2004-2009. It also assessed the relevance of BSCS

curricula, knowledge, skills and workvalues acquired by the graduates relevant to their

employment; identify the personal and professional characteristics and job placement of

Computer Science graduates and the school related factors associated with their

employment. The findings of the study served as the basis of the researcher to improve,

14
update or enhance the curricula of BSCS program to make this more responsive to the

needs of fast changing technology.

Another related study made in Lyceum of the Philippine University by Celis,

Festijo and Cueto shows that majority of the respondents are gainfully employed and

landed a job from one to two years after graduation. Most of them are contractual basis.

Benefits and salary play a big role in staying or changing jobs. Human relation skills and

communication skills are considered to be the most important competencies learned by

students from the University. Updates regularly once a year the status of their graduates

and ask for possible curriculum enhancement and suggestion on what changes to be done

in the curriculum.

According to Gines (2014), having provided very adequate skills such as

knowledge and technical, communications, human relations, leadership, research, problem

solving and other competencies were the major factors on top of area of specialization

considered for job acquisition. The graduates’ level of satisfaction with the University’s

services is generally high.

Also in 2014, Gines conducted a tracer study for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 graduates

of PNU. The study aimed to assess the graduates’ level of satisfaction with the university’s

services, learning environment and facilities. It also determined the extent to which the

various curricular programs contributed to the development of the graduates’

communication skills, human relation skills, leadership skills, problem solving

skills, and research skills; and to evaluate the degree of effectiveness, adequacy and

relevance of the university’s curricular programs.

15
 Vong (2014) likewise conducted a graduate tracer study with overall objectives of

obtaining a better understanding of the graduates’ employability. It aimed to assess how

they searched for a job and how the coursework they had done at the RUPP helped them

first to get a job and then to do well at that job.

According to CHED IQUAME Primer (n.d.), the Commission on Higher Education

(CHED) is conducting a comprehensive study that requires all HEI’s to do individual

graduate tracer studies on their respective alumni. The result of the research will become a

tool in pursuant to the envisioned upgrading of the educational system in the country. The

process is more searching, because the account must be reflective, and provide a

justification of why things are done in a way that it has been chosen. Effectiveness of

process has to be demonstrated, in relation to intended outcomes. Factual data is

still required, but to support a case that a department is performing effectively, rather than

as end itself. For Example: a department must decide whether a particular set of data is

relevant to a demonstration of effectiveness, rather than providing it simply because it

has been required.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the methodology of the study. It involves the discussion of

the research method being used by the researcher, components of the study, project

development process of a Graduate Tracer System.

Research Method

The researchers used constructive and action research methods. According to

(Kasanen et al., 1993), there are two research methods used extensively in the creation or

application of new computing and information technology approaches for use in differing

domains: constructive research and action research. The constructive research method is a

systematic approach that enables the purposeful creation of methods, modules, tools, and

techniques that have applicability well beyond the case study that motivated their creation.

It is a research paradigm widely used in computer science, mathematics, operations

analysis, and clinical medicine. The focus is on the construction, with theoretical

demonstration as well as practical implementations as valid outcomes of the research

process.

Action research, as the name suggests, involves taking action, evaluation, and

critical reflection (Koshy et al., 2011). Within the next context of computing and

information technology research, it refers to taking the action of introducing a computing

and information technology solution then evaluating and reflecting on its value. Action

research has been demonstrated in transdisciplinary research with its participatory and

collaborative focus used as a driver for the interaction between many disciplines along with

17
the broad context of taking action on the broad transdisciplinary innovation (Djanibekov

et al., 2012).

Research Environment

The local of this study is in Jose Rizal Memorial State University, the premier State

University in Zamboanga del Norte by virtue of RA 9852, a believer of holistic and human

development. The said public institution is located particularly in Gov. Guading Adasa St.

Sta. Cruz, Dapitan City. It has well equipped and has masters’ degree, doctoral degree

instructors on different fields of expertise. The tuition fee is at low price and offers free

higher education to qualified enrollees. Innovative in new technologies, this institution

needs to cope up with the latest technology in getting more updated in the world in terms

of high technology.

A Graduate Tracer System in JRMSU is striving towards a common goal, to have

a well-organized and simplified system for the registrar’s staff.

Fig. 2 JRMSU Map

Project Development Process

This project development process covered a range of activities extending from

identification of a project need to a finished set of contract plans and to construction. It is

18
also defined both with a project life cycle and system development life cycle during which

different activities occur.

The Project Development Process refers to a logical sequence of activities that aims

to accomplish the project’s goals or objectives. It consists of events which are necessary to

complete a project. The System Development Life Cycle is used to develop and maintain

information system.

Figure 3 presents the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Each Process is

connected to each other by an arrow and each number from 1 to 7. It starts with Data

Gathering followed by Requirements Analysis; Designing; Coding; Testing and

Evaluation; and, Documentation. First, the researchers gathered data and information

sources from the internet. The requirements analysis set and designs the software and

hardware requirements needed by the users. After having all the desired information

requirements gathered and analyzed, the researchers designed the system.

While in the designing process, they started the program coding using Visual Studio

Finally, testing and evaluation of the system are done. Each step and process were verified

by the researchers for the correctness of the output and its functionality performance by the

software. When errors are found, it goes to the previous process for another software

verification procedure to be considered.

Data Gathering

The researchers gathered sources from the internet and acquired information from

particular personnel that has enough knowledge about a graduate tracer system. The data

for this research were collected using a survey questionnaire, interview and observation.

The survey was created using suitable questions enhanced from related research and

individual questions formed by the researchers to obtain an answer to a certain question to

improve the system. The instruments used in data gathering in which researchers applied

were: surveys (can provide breadth information about and behaviors relevant to existing

learning spaces and technologies) and interviews (provide important insight about the case

study).

20
Requirements Analysis

After gathering, the researchers focused on a Graduate Tracer System. Researchers

did their best to have a better output. The researchers analyzed all the requirements to

interpret all the required and the possible output of the study.

The following are the systems requirements:

A. Hardware Requirements

Computer / Laptop – a programmable electronic device with a practical use of

mathematical calculations and logical operations that can process, store and retrieve large

amounts of data very quickly.

Designing or Software Architecture.

In this chapter walks through the steps in designing software usability study. It is

the process the researcher prepared of applying various techniques and principles for the

purpose of defining process to permit its physical realization. Architectural design was

considered is which a system is composed sub-systems that provide some collaborative set

of services that make up the system and their relationships being recognized and

documented. During the design phase, the researchers incorporated all the requirements

and gathered information to convert into representation to reach its goals. An architecture

description is formal description and representation of a system organized in a way that

supports reasoning about the structures of the system.

Proposed System Design

A Graduate Tracer System is for alumni in Jose Rizal Memorial State University

and was designed using a web-based system. The system is easy to use by any user because

it builds using a development system, Laravel framework for building websites. It is

reasonable to say that the process of graduate tracer on the web is becoming commonplace.

The objective of this project was to develop a general purpose of a Graduate Tracer

System where it aimed to make it easier for universities to find out the alumni position and

22
expected to be able to overcome the problems above. However, for implementation

purposes, this paper dealt with a graduate tracer system for graduates and etc.

HIPO Diagram

HIPO model is a system analysis design aid and documentation technique from the

1970s used for representing the modules of a system as a hierarchy and for documenting

each module. It was used to develop requirements, construct the design, and support

implementation of an expert system to demonstrate automated rendezvous. Verification

was then conducted systematically.

Use Case Diagram

Use Case Diagram is a presentation of a user’s interaction with the system depicting

the specification of a use case. The most important aspect is to commit a dynamic behavior.

Use case diagrams are used to gather the required information of a system including

internal and external impacts. A Use Case Diagram can portrait the different types of a user

of a system and the various ways that they will interact with system. As seen, in figure

below, it shows that Use Case Diagram has three actors. These are the user, admin, &

visitor. User can view the items purchase item and instant pay. While the admin also can

view the items, purchase items, instant pay, register, track orders & add items. And also,

the visitor can view items and can register.

Class Diagram

A Graduate Tracer System a class diagram in the Unified Modeling Language

(UML), is a type of static structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by

showing the system's classes, their attributes, operations (or methods), and the relationships

25
among objects. Figure below represents the class diagram of the A Graduate Tracer System

in Jose Rizal Memorial State University Zamboanga Del Norte. Each entity has its own

individual attributes.

Activity Diagram

Activity Diagram is one important diagram in UML to describe dynamic aspects of

the system. Activity diagram is basically a flow chart to represent the flow from one activity

to another activity. The activity can be described as an operation of the system. So, the

flow is drawn from one operation to another. This flow can be sequential, branched or

concurrent. Activity diagram deals with all type of flow control by using different elements

like fork, join etc.

Figure 10 describes the flow of the system. The flow of diagram starts with the

alumni and if the system finds that alumni is not true in the condition symbol, the system

proceeds to admin, then the system will manage, evaluate, validate and save alumni

27
information. On the alumni part if the system finds out that the alumni is new then the

system will create and register new alumni, if the system finds out that the alumni is not

new then the system will update and save alumni information.

Data Flow Diagram

Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of data

through an information system, modeling its process aspects. Often, they are a preliminary

step used to create an overview of the system which can later be elaborated. It is a wireless

device that is used in sending order data and data are send to the main server. Data flows

themselves to the Data storage locations.

It shows what kind of information will be entered to and produced from the system,

where will the data come from and go, and where the data will be stored.

Figure11 below is the Data Flow Diagram which shows process on checking the

detailed representation of the system components and explains the flow of operation for

the system “A Graduate Tracer System” to come out with the output of the study. The

registrar employee will manage and update students Data on its profile. When the student

is not enrolled, the system will proceed to the signup form for the new student to be enroll

in Jose Rizal Memorial State University. After the data entry, the system checks the

transcript of data of the specific course and year and what are the subjects involved.

After the system trace all subjects, the system will automatically enter or insert all

subjects required for the specific semester of the corresponding course and year. The

system also has a feature that checks the conflict subjects and check all double entry subject

unlike the current scheduling system of Jose Rizal Memorial State University.

Entity Relationship Diagram

An Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is a model that identifies the concepts or

entities that exist in a system and the relationships between those entities. An entity is a

piece of data object or concept about which data is stored. There are so many groups of

data illustrated in each of the ERD figure and represented by a column and they are called

database tables. Data fields also highlighted with the different colors are the indexes used

to connect related data to the different tables in conjunction to every movement of data.

The projected lines serve as the connector between tables by means of its indexes. Entities

are the things we need to store data about. It's an aspect of the user business that needs to

30
be stored, such as a book or author, customer or publisher. In the diagram, entities are

represented by boxes with lines consist various attributes. Entities link up each other

according to the relationships between the researchers or how the user interacts with each

other. Relationships are sometimes referred to as cardinalities, which describes the

interactions numerically but let's simply call them relationships and traditionally

developers spend a lot of effort in saving and loading objects between the memories.

Fig. 12 Entity Relationship Diagram

Software Testing and Procedure

While making the system, the testing method was adopted. Both manual and

computerized processes were run together until in time a Graduate Tracer System in a

whole Zamboanga Del Norte observed to be accurately running through its different

methods and strategies. This event is actually the reason why the proponent tries their very

31
best to make this system be done according to their way of introducing how fast a

technology it is. The procedure for this individual event will be referred to the process in

its diagram shown. The researchers guaranteed the best system ever in the institution.

Manual on the other hand is easy but the new technologies are now in our time so, the

proponents introduce each one of the observants that computer technology is more and

more powerful in today’s generation.

The result of this proposal determined whether the proponents will continue or not

in the study.

Procedure:

1. Check the data that are used in the system if it is necessary.

2. Set up the system if it is working properly.

3. Confirm that system whether tests achieve system test objectives.

4. After checking, the researchers will conduct the evaluation about the system

software.

Software Evaluation and Procedure

This study can be met by means of test and evaluation. The proponents believe that

all software cannot be implemented without proper research, test and evaluate before the

operation. The process can help the researchers in attaining their goals for the exact output.

The respondents of the system study evaluated for the selected respondents

including information technology professionals such as IT professionals.

Each respondent rated the study according to the criteria created by the researchers.

Respondents of the Study

32
 In every research study, respondents are highly needed because their response will

be the basis for evaluating the system in terms of its functionality and etc. The researchers

have invited people to participate in a particular study and have actually taken part in the

study. This definition applies to both qualitative and quantitative studies.

The respondents were composed of five (5) Graduates/Alumni, five (5) IT

Professionals and ten (10) IT Students as professional evaluators as well as end users. Each

respondent rated the study according to the criteria created by the researchers

Sampling Design and Techniques

The instrument which was utilized in gathering data in the study is composed of

two parts. The first part was research-made. It dealt with the demographic profile of the

respondents. The second part was patterned after the International Standard Organization

ISO)/IEC 9126 standard quality model which determine the functionality, reliability,

usability, efficiency, portability and maintainability of the newly developed and designed

Graduate Tracer System.

Statistical Tools and Treatment

33
 The mean was used to measure the functionality, reliability and security of the

Graduate Tracer System.

Formula: Weighted Mean = ∑ Wi Xi

Sampling Design

The respondents were chosen with the application of Stratified Sampling Method.

Stratified Sampling is a probability sampling technique wherein the researchers divide the

entire population into different subgroups, then randomly selects the final subjects

proportionally from the different strategy. This completely negates the concept of stratified

sampling as a type of probability sampling. Equally important is the fact that the researcher

must use simple probability sampling within the different way of strategy. The advantage

of stratified random sampling is that it reduces selection bias. Stratifying the entire

population before applying random sampling methods helps ensure a sample that

accurately reflects the population being studied in terms of the criteria used for

stratification. The method's disadvantage is that several conditions must be met for it to be

used properly. Researchers must identify every member of a population being studied and

classify each of them into one, and only one, subpopulation. Finding an exhaustive and

definitive list of an entire population is the first challenge. In some cases, it is downright

impossible. The other challenge is accurately sorting each member of the population into

34
a single stratum. The sorting process becomes more difficult, rendering stratified random

sampling an ineffective and less than ideal method.

Functionality

A set of attributes that bear on the existence of a set of functions and their specified

properties. The functions are those that satisfy state or implied set of users. The quality of

having a practical use or the quality of being functional. Functionality can use or set of uses

for which something is designed that associated with the computer software or hardware

or an electronic device. The function is described as a set of inputs, the behavior, and

outputs. Functional requirements may be calculations, technical details, data manipulation

and processing and other specific functionality that define what a system is supposed to

accomplish.

Range of Mean Description

4.21-5.0 Highly Functional – Processing takes approximately

five seconds and system responds inquiry of the end-user

automatically.

3.41-4.20 Much Functional – Processing takes approximately ten

seconds and system responds inquiry of the end-user and it

satisfies the end-user.

2.61-3.40 Moderately Functional – Processing takes

approximately fifteen seconds and system responds inquiry

of the end-user and it moderately satisfies the end-user.

35
 1.81-2.60 Less Functional – Processing takes approximately

one minute and system responds inquiry of the end-user but

it does not satisfy the end-user.

1.00-1.80 Not Functional – Processing does not generate

response to the end-user.

Reliability

Ability of a system to perform its required function under stated condition

whenever required-having a long mean time between failures.

Range of Mean Description

4.21-5.0 Highly Reliable – System generates precise data without

error on the entry of information.

error on the entry of information.

1.81-2.60 Less Reliable – System generate data but contains 10% error

on the entry of information. 1.00-1.80 Not Reliable – System

does not generate data

Security

Ability of a system to allow only the admin required in editing and updating

information to secure the information stored in the database.

36
 Range of Mean Description

4.21-5.0 highly secure – Design of the system enables the end-user to

manipulate the program with ease and facility within two seconds.

3.41-4.20 Much Secure – Design of the system enables the end user to

manipulate the program with ease of 5 seconds.

2.61-3.40 Moderately Secure – Design of the system enables the end-user to

manipulate the program within ten seconds.

1.81-2.60 Fairly secure – Design of the system enables the end-user to

manipulate the program within one minute.

1.00-1.80 Not secure – Design of the System does not enable end-user to

manipulate the program.

Documentation

The system provided its documentary evidence for the user’s guide and process a

documenting knowledge of the researchers who implement this kind of study. A Graduate

Tracer System provides product documentation such as software documentation. Idea

knowledge and enhancement for their skills in studying online. In this way, it will teach

them to know the documentary of the research study and visualize the input and output of

the system. In other words, this is a guideline for the online and offline research study.

Calendar of Activities

The researchers used Gantt chart, a type of bar chart that illustrates the project schedule

and presents the week when the project started until its completion. This figure shows all

the specific activities done in the given period. It illustrates the schedule of actions from

the very start of the development of the system until the system is fulfilled.

RESULT AND DISSCUSIONS

This chapter presents the answer and detailed discussion of the main and specific

problem of the study as presented on the statement of the problem. Specifically, the

researchers sought the following questions:

Problem 1: What is the current status of graduate tracer for Jose Rizal Memorial State

University Main Campus?

Based on the gathered information from the respondents, more-than half or 65%

are employed and only 35% of the respondents are unemployed. In the employed part, out

of 13 respondents, 7 of it are in a full time job while the rest are in part time. Also, with

regards to the time duration, most of the respondents got their jobs after graduation and

only few of them got their job a year after graduation. 10 respondents or 50% got their first

job after graduation, 1 respondent or 5% got his/her job 6 months after graduation and 2

respondents or 10% got their job a year after the graduation.

In the other hand, according to their response, their first job was not related to the

degree they had graduated. However, when they apply to another job it becomes related to

their course.

Problem 4: How does the Graduate Tracer System be measured in terms of;

a. Functionality;

b. Reliability; and

c. Security?

The respondents of the system evaluated “A Graduate Tracer System” carefully.

The selected respondents are the alumni of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

of the Jose Rizal Memorial State University SY. 2019-2022. They were considered as a

professional evaluator as well as end-users. In terms of functionality, the system functioned

fast and accessible. Reliability was assessed with its ease to understand and give reliable

information. Finally, this system was secured in giving the inquired information correctly

and enabled one to automatically view it.

Evaluation Process/Scoring Process

The findings that proved the functionality, reliability and security of the Graduate

Tracer are shown on the tables found in the proceeding page.

The respondents were composed of 20 Alumni who tested the project. The testing

was done individually. Each respondent rated the project according to the criteria set by

the researchers.

The criteria were rated from 1-5, where 5 is the highest degree of possibility that

this would be assisted in the internet application. The rate had the corresponding

equivalents.

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary and conclusions of the study. It also covers the

presentation of findings out of the data treated and the conclusions which were drawn based

on the findings and recommendations.

Summary

This study aimed to develop a system called “A Graduate Tracer System” and to

answer the sub problems in the statement of the problem. This was accomplished through

a process called the project development process which includes Data Gathering,

Requirements and Analysis, Designing, Coding, and Testing Evaluation. This system will

help trace the graduates of Computer Science Department and evaluates their current jobs

if it is related to their respective course degree.

The following sub problems were being sought:

1. What is the current status of graduate tracer system for Jose Rizal Memorial State

University Main Campus?

2. What are the processes or algorithms that can be formulated and developed for the

Jose Rizal Memorial State University graduate tracer system?

3. What are other existing or similar systems that can be fused and integrated into one

composite system?

4. How does the Graduate Tracer System be measured in terms of;

a. Functionality;

49
 b. Reliability and

c. Security?

The methods used in this study was constructive and action research methods.

The constructive research method is a systematic approach that enables the

purposeful creation of methods, modules, tools, and techniques that have

applicability well beyond the case study that motivated their creation. Action

research, as the name suggests, involves taking action, evaluation, and critical

reflection. Within the next context of computing and information technology

research, it refers to taking the action of introducing a computing and information

technology solution then evaluating and reflecting on its value.

Findings

After all the necessary data of the study were treated accordingly, the following

findings were exposed:

1. Based on the gathered information from the respondents, the researchers found out

that more-than half or 65% are employed and only 35% of the respondents are

unemployed. In the employed part, out of 13 respondents 7 of it are in a full time

job while the rest are in part time. Also, with regards to the time duration, most of

the respondents got their jobs after graduation and only few of them got their job a

year after graduation. 10 respondents or 50% got their first job after graduation, 1

respondent or 5% got his/her job 6 months after graduation and 2 respondents or

10% got their job a year after the graduation.

 In the other hand according to their response, their first job was not related

to the degree they had graduated. However, when they apply to another job it

becomes related to their course.

2. The algorithms or processes involved in designing the Graduate Tracer System is

shown using the Entity Relationship Diagram, Data Flow Diagram and the System

Flow Diagram.

3. The researchers found out that by fusing other systems into one may produce a

system that can trace alumni information, track down their employment status and

evaluate the relevance of job to their degree.

4. The researchers evaluated their system by letting respondents test and evaluate it.

They found out the following results:

1. The software quality factor in terms of functionality was proven

functional with the average weighted mean of 4.07 which was

described as functional.

2. The software quality factor in terms of reliability was proven

functional with the average weighted mean of 3.9 which was

reliable.

3. The software quality factor in terms of security for admin and

users were proven functional with the average weighted mean of

4.06 which was secured.

4. The overall mean average rating of the software quality factors

was 4.01 which were interpreted as acceptable by the

respondents.

Conclusion

The researchers concluded that a “Graduate Tracer System” will be able to trace

graduates from specific department if they are employed or unemployed, and if employed

the project will trace whether their jobs fit to their graduated course. In the proposed

system, the alumni can track their own record in case of urgent use.

Recommendation

The researchers would like to recommend to the Jose Rizal Memorial State

University that the proposed system design entitled “A Graduate Tracer System” to be

implemented on saving the information of the alumni of the Computer Science Department.

Thus, the system may be used as basis for the future researchers and also suggests to make

the alumni user to fill out a form and reuse to update information anytime, provide

suggestions on area for inquiries and updates.
