DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF ATTENDANCE AND PARENTS ALERT SYSTEM (APAS)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to solve the difficulties associated with producing school IDs, parents keeping an eye on their children, and checking attendance. This study was developed in five steps, using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) Model as a guide. The system received a perfect score of 100 percent. It received an exceptionally high overall grade in all dimensions (Mean = 4.00; Standard Deviation = 0.00) such as design, accessibility, accuracy, usability, reliability, functionality, and efficiency. The evaluators' consistent responses revealed an apparent degree of agreement, indicating a rather uniform view that the method is a superior innovation and effective in the school. Parents also commend the system as to its convenience and operational efficiency, parental involvement and reassurance, and new experience and novelty. Considerably, a new experience and a novelty garnering many positive emotional responses with acceptance despite limitations. Subsequently, the system needs not to be changed perhaps needs to be developed for future recommendation of the stakeholders. It is recommended that, when needed, the system be improved continuously over time. Moreover, teachers can use the system to pinpoint problems with its application and confirm its efficacy. It is also recommended that the system be reevaluated later to better align it. As the system is developed, school processes could be improved, leading to a more skillful, advanced, flexible, and relevant educational experience.
