INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

A website is a place in the World Wide Web that contains information about

persons, organizations or institutions made available online. It can be very useful for

students like the scholars of Philippine Science High School Central Mindanao Campus

(PSHS CMC). They can use the web to look for information related to their

assignments and research in school. The aspect that could be very helpful to the scholars

of PSHS CMC is the online grading system.

The official website for PSHS - CMC is mainly used for posting National

Competitive Examination (NCE) results for incoming Grade 7, as well as for posting

requirements for lateral examination takers. The website is also accessed by the teachers,

when they access the reports that are posted on the website (on the Transparency tab

located at the upper right corner of the website). Other than these, enrolment-related

postings and report-assessments, the website is not likely used by the PSHS-CMC

Scholars anymore.

Online grading system modules have been used by some Philippine schools, such

as the Jose Rizal University (JRU), West Visayas State University (WVSU), Saint Louis

College (SLC), Father Saturnino Urios Univeristy (FSUU), and De La Salle University

(DLSU). Each school has their own online grading system module located in their own

respective websites. Students can access their grades by logging in their respective

schools grading system module, entering their own username/email address and

password.
 2

The nearest state university located in Iligan City, and where majority of the PSHS

CMC Scholars go to college, is Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of

Technology (MSU - IIT). The official website for MSU - IIT is not only used for posting

System Admission and Scholarship Examination (SASE) results, but is also accessed for

grade monitoring and for the institutes activities information. For the grade monitoring,

teachers would enter, edit, submit and/or lock the given grade/s of a student, while

students can check and see their grades (once theyre locked). As for the institutes

activities information, any student of the said school can see or read the news, get

updated about upcoming activities, check for job opportunities (for alumni students),

upload or read the public documents on the website (for teachers), and etc. Figures 1 4

in Appendix A show the present home page, login page, sign up page and teacher profile

page.

Online grading system modules are useful for both students and teachers. Students

can check their grades online and no longer need to approach the teacher, and teachers

will only print the needed files when necessary. Therefore, there will be less number of

papers used. In contrast, offline grading system modules are only used by teachers, and

therefore the students will have to approach the teachers to ask for their grades. Teachers

will definitely have to print the list of grades for each class, because they need to show

the grades to each student, resulting to more papers being used.

Teachers in PSHS CMC today would manually pass the grades to the Registrar.

They would pass the final grades of their students of a particular subject to the

corresponding advisers. The advisers, in turn, would then compute for the General

Weighted Average (GWA) for each student per quarter by doing the following
 3

calculations:

( subject 1unit )+ ( subject 2unit ) +

First Quarter GWA=
total number of units

2 ( subject 1unit ) + ( subject 2unit ) + 1

Second Quarter Fourth Quarter GWA=
3 ( total number of units ) + ( Previous Q
3

When the advisers finish computing the grades of all the students in their section,

they would pass in an electronic copy, with the file in Excel format, to the Registrar. Only

then would the registrar print the grades in a sheet of paper and give it back to the

advisers, where the advisers would give the papers to each student. The students would

then show the paper to their parents. Each section has approximately 30 students, and

each grade level has 3 sections. There are five different Grade levels present in PSHS

CMC, so 30 * 3 * 5 = there are 450 students in PSHS CMC. Therefore, there are

approximately 450 papers to be printed for the card distribution. The problem for some

scholars is that they cannot show the paper to their parents, since they will be spending as

a weekender. One of the reasons why they will be spending as a weekender is that they

cannot return to their hometown because of the limited time to travel.

To maximize the use of the PSHS-CMC website, to minimize the use of papers, and

to allow the access of grades by all teachers, students and parents, this study aims to add

the online grading system module on the website. In this manner, the PSHS-CMC

website will not only be useful to the incoming Grade 7, lateral applicants and teachers,

but also to all the PSHS-CMC enrolled scholars, in all grade levels, and the parents.

Objectives of the Study

 4

The main objective of this study is to create a grading system module for the PSHS -

CMC official website, to be used by each scholar, teacher and parent. Specifically, it aims

to:

1. Design the grading system module;

2. implement a web-based grading system tool; and

3. test the security and efficiency of the web-based tool on student, parent and

teacher profiles.

Significance of the Study

The students would be able to monitor their academic status online. Parents can

also monitor the academic status of their sons or daughters at home/work online. The

students would no longer need to contact and tell their parents about their current grades.

The input of grades could also be easier for the faculty, because they now only need to

input the grades on the online profile, thereby making the process paperless. The faculty

can input the grades both in the office and/or home, depending on their choice. The

printing of the grades would only be done when needed. Less paper works mean saving

some of the trees which are the common source of paper.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This study is focused on the making of the online grading system module for PSHS

CMC only. This study will be conducted in Purok 3, Luinab, Iligan City in the

residence of the researcher. Only the profiles of the students, teachers and parents

belonging in Grade 10 - Neutron and their corresponding subjects will be done due to the
 5

inadequacy of time. The said module will be posted on a cloud web hosting site

temporarily for testing purposes.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE [needs edit]

 6

Computerized grading systems are not new in the Philippines. They are already

used by many schools. One example is the computerized grading system of Metropolitan

Academy of Manila, which was created using an app called the Fourth Generation

Technique (4GT). The grading system is an offline grading system software, and the

software is used by teachers and students. However, parents cannot directly see the

grades from the said module (Abundo et.al, 2014).

Meanwhile, the schools Jose Rizal University and Western Visayas State University

have their grading system module powered by the Academic Institutions Management

Systems (AIMS) which is from the Pinnacle Technologies. Though online, these grading

system modules are made with the help of the Pinnacle software, and not using HTML,

Javascript, Python and PostgreSQL.

In the meantime, the systematized grading system of the High School Department

of Canossa School in Sta. Roza, Laguna is a grading system module made with the help

of a software. The re-checking and re-encoding of grades takes some time in this module.

It also uses another software, and is an offline grading system module. Meanwhile, the

computerized grading system for Binan National High School uses another software. It is

still used by teachers, it is an offline grading system module, and parents and students

cannot directly see the grade from the said software (Paloguer & Valeros, 2013).

For the time being, the grading system module for the San Sebastian College is a

stand-alone program used by teachers. The said module is still an offline grading system

module, and therefore the grades cannot be directly seen by both students and teachers

(Canlubang & Recoletos, 2011).

METHODOLOGY
 8

Gathering of Data

All information of each student, parent and teacher were randomly created by the

researcher, except for the section, which was directly set to Neutron. Each email address

was already filled in the database table.

Creating the Sign in and Register Pages

The researcher created the sign in page in a way that when the module is opened,

the log-in page will be directly shown. The page will require a username and password,

and will ask whether the user is a student, parent or teacher. Below the form, the question

No account yet? and the link for creating a new account will be shown. If the user has

not yet registered, the user will just click the link below the form.

For registering, the page will show the form the user has to fill in to complete

his/her registration. Once completed, the page would then reveal if the signing up was

successful, and the user will then be asked to sign in with the correct details. Figure 3

shows the page to be displayed once the user has successfully registered.

Creating the Student Profile

The researcher created the student profile in a way that when the student is signed

in, he/she immediately sees the list of subjects in which he/she is under for the present

Grade. The grade will be seen at the right side, parallel to the said subject. At the left side

of the profile, the students details, such as the username, ID number, Grade and Section,

and School Year, will be displayed. Below the students details, a button for signing out

will be displayed. All of these will be done by the researcher using HTML, JS, CSS,

Figure 2. The Form for Creating an Account

 9

Python and PostgreSQL.

Creating the Teacher Profile

The researcher created the teacher profile in a way that when the teacher is logged

in into his/her profile, the teacher immediately sees his/her list of subjects for the present

School Year. Once a subject is clicked, the page then shows the list of students who are

currently taking the subject. The grade will be seen at the right side, parallel to the said

student. Beside the grade, there will be three buttons: one for editing, one for saving the

grade temporarily, and one for locking the grade permanently, which will no longer allow

the teacher to correct the said grade, and for the saved grade to show up in the students

profile. When the edit button is selected, the details of the students grade (assignment,

quizzes, quarter exam, etc.) will be shown, and the teacher will be able to edit it. Once

finished, the save button should be clicked. This way, the teacher can save the grade

without showing it to the students profile. When the lock button is selected, the grade

will then be shown on the students profile and the teacher will no longer be able to edit

the said grade. At the left side of the profile, the teachers details, such as the username,

subject handled, and School Year will be shown. Below the teachers details, a button for

signing out will be displayed. All of these will be done by the researcher using HTML,

JS, CSS, Python and PostgreSQL.

Creating the Parent Profile

The researcher will create the parent profile in a way that when the parent is signed
 10

in, he/she immediately sees the list of subjects in which his/her child is currently taking.

The grade will be seen at the right side, parallel to the said subject. At the left side of the

profile, the parents details, such as the username, the section where his/her child is

currently in, and School Year, will be displayed. Below the parents details, a button for

signing out will be displayed. All of these will be done by the researcher using HTML,

JS, CSS, Python and PostgreSQL.

Posting of the Grading System Module in a Cloud Web Hosting Site

The module will be posted on a cloud web hosting called OpenShift by Red Hat.

The said cloud web hosting server is actually free of charge unless the files uploaded to

the cloud exceed 1 GB, and there is a limit of creating up to 3 different applications in the

free version. All of the PostgreSQL files, Python files, HTML files, JavaScript files and

CSS files were uploaded to the cloud. After this, configuration settings were set and the

module is then launched.

Testing of the Grading System Module

Once the grading system module was completed, the researcher then created 10

different teacher dummy profiles, 10 different student dummy profiles and 20 different

parent dummy profiles. The researcher then accessed and activated each profile to test

whether there were errors concerning the security and efficiency of the module.

Table 1 below shows the form used to rate the modules security and efficiency for

every profile.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the testing and evaluation done on the said module, including

the test cases and results for each profile; namely, the student, teacher and parent profile.

Test Environment

The module was deployed in OpenShift (https://openshift.redhat.com), a cloud

server. The browser used is Mozilla Firefox version 51.0.1, having used a Globe

Broadband Internet connection. The module can be accessed online through this link:

scholasticus-mindblaze.rhcloud.com

Module System Details

In creating the said module, the HTML and CSS files were first made. The figures

below show the HTML pages that were made.

 13

Whenever a user clicks the above mentioned link, Figure 1 (as shown above) will
Figure 1. The Home Page of Scholasticus.
be directly displayed. If the user has not been registered yet, the link Create new

account should be selected. Figure 2 below shows the form for registering.

Figure 2. The Create Account Form of Scholasticus.

Once the user clicks the Create Account button, the fields containing the last and

first name will be checked whether it is present in the database. If the last and first name

of the user is not present in the database, the line All fields are required changes to

Name does not exist. If the user has already been registered, the same line changes to

Account already activated. If the user has not been registered and he/she has not yet
 14

been registered, the module then adds the rest of the details to the database. Once it is

completed, the page as shown in Figure 3 is displayed.

Figure 3. The Account Confirmed Page of Scholasticus.

Once the button is clicked, the user is then redirected back to the home page. When

the user signs in, the module then checks if the user is a student, teacher or parent. If the

user is a student, the page as shown in Figure 4 is displayed, together with the list of

subjects and grades of that user.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The researcher was able to implement and present the online grading system

module. The said module was successfully designed using the programming languages

such as PostgreSQL, Python and JavaScript, and computer languages such as HTML and

CSS, and was successfully implemented on a cloud web hosting server. The module

allows the student to browse their own grades while enabling parents to view their childs

grades. On the other hand, teachers can be able to input the grades of each student, be

able to edit and lock the final grade online. Each user has their own accounts which are

accessed through their own unique username and password. Upon testing the said

module, results show that module's efficiency and security has a 100% success rate. None

of the profiles were accessed illegally and showed incorrect personal details, subjects and

grades. Thus, the said online grading system module called 'Scholasticus' ensures the

security and efficiency of each teacher, student and parent who will access this module in

the future.

The online grading system module can be of great help to teachers, especially to

advisers. Teachers can enter the grades through online access while, both students and
 29

parents can view their grades online. Parents do not have to go to school when it concerns

to knowing the academic status of their child.

As far as this online grading system module is concerned, there are still many

things to be done for improvement, such as:

1. Sending a confirmation code to the said email address or cellphone number

of a user;
2. Including the other sections to the database table;
3. Addition of character rating and attendance on the module;
4. Making the said website mobile-friendly; and
5. Lastly, making the said module into a mobile application.
