- Student Outcome Assessment: An Evaluation Tool to Gauge Acquired Learning of Information Technology Students by Ms. Maria Cristina M. Ramos
2021-2022
- On-the-Job-Training and Academic Performance of Computer Science Students in One Academic Institution in the Philippines: A Correlation by Maria Crisitna Ramos On-the-job training (OJT) is part of the tertiary curriculum which connects the gap between theory and practice as well as between classroom education and real industry life, presenting a more precious learning experience that elevates the importance of the academic program and forms the view of personal and social usefulness. The objectives of internship are to create an opportunity to learn about a profession; and to generate values as well as substance in skills for students. The study described the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) students’ academic performance in professional courses; presented the OJT evaluation results based on “Work Habits and Behavior”, “Work Skills and Knowledge” and “Social and Communication Skills”; determined level of OJT performance of Computer Science graduates of batch 2016-2017; and tested the significant relationship between OJT performance and academic performance. Findings show that there is no significant correlation between the two variables. This reinforces the fact that industry supervisors and the faculty handling the OJT course do not necessarily assess the students based on their technical skills but instead put greater emphasis on personal characteristics. Attitudes and behaviors included notable traits such as punctuality, motivation to learn independently, confidence, composure, enthusiasm, ability to be a team player, analytical skills, and even foresight. Considering these findings, it is recommended that the BSCS curriculum be updated to include activities that further hone and inculcate the notable traits mentioned above. The activities included in the action plan are workplace simulation workshops, interpersonal skills training, and personality development seminars that are aimed at preparing the students and help them improve their performance as they experience actual immersion in the industry.

- Student Outcomes Assessment: An Evaluation Tool to Gauge Levels of Attainment of Computer Science Students by Maria Crisitna Ramos Student outcomes relate to the knowledge, skills, and behavior that students acquire as they progress through the program and describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. An effective assessment method is needed for measuring the extent that student outcomes meet academic accreditation body criteria. This measurement is performed by mapping course learning objectives with program educational objectives passing through student outcomes. The College of Computer Studies (CCS) of one selected university in the province of Batangas conducts “Student Outcomes Assessment” periodically as indicated in its Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) “Curriculum Map”. The “Curriculum Map” contains the Student Outcomes, Performance Indicators, and the list of Professional Courses under the BSCS Program. Markings as to Introduce(I), Reinforce(R) and Emphasize (E) are also indicated. An “Assessment Matrix” is then created to show Student Outcomes (SO) and the corresponding Performance indicators (PI) mapped out to Strategies, Assessment Method, Source of Assessment, Time of Data Collection, Assessment Coordinators, and the Evaluator of Results. This paper presented and described the BS Computer Science Curriculum Map of SY 2015-2016; identified if performance target was met for each Performance Indicator resulting to student outcomes assessment; and recommended courses of action based on the assessment results. The study utilized the quantitative descriptive research design. The respondents of the study are the 24 or 100% population of the BSCS graduates of batch 2019 of Lyceum of the Philippines University – Batangas. Batch 2019 was identified as the respondents since they were the graduates under the BSCS Curriculum effective School Year 2015-2016.
Results of the study revealed that the BS Computer Science program curricula and the teaching strategies employed by its professors to deliver learning is aligned with the expected student outcomes of the program. BS Computer Science students at the time of graduation possess the knowledge, skills, and behavior parallel to the program’s expected student outcomes. Recommendations can be used for continuous enhancement of the BSCS curricula.

- Automated Office Supplies Requisition and Inventory System’s development: A Step towards Institutional Progress By: Noemi Almarez (2013) This study was primarily developed to improve the manual processing of office supplies requisition and inventory at the Property Office of LPU-Batangas. This system was developed to be used by the Property Office of this institution and of the different offices and colleges involved in the request of office supplies. It has security features that allow only authorized users to enter their username and password. Different offices and colleges will serve as the requesting departments or requesters, who are only allowed to change their password, view and print their supplies allocations, and send request of supplies to the Property office. While the property clerk serves as the administrator who has full access to the functionalities of the entire system. The system is also capable of automatically updating allocation of supplies and requested items to the system’s database that also reflects in every workstation of every college to easily track supplies availability for consumption. It can also provide accurate inventory reports whenever needed. Through this, the difficulties during requisition of supplies and too many forms to be handled will be eliminated. Further, requesting supplies at the Property Office can now be more convenient, a concrete data organization can be utilized and inventory reports can be prepared much easier than before because of this innovative system.
Keywords: Office supplies requisition, Inventory System, Software development - Tracer Study for Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from 2002-2007 By: Mrs. Luisa Macatangay (2013) This tracer study determined the employment status of BS in Computer Science Graduates of LPU from 2004-2009. It also assessed the relevance of BS in Computer Science curricula, knowledge and skills acquired to employment of graduates; identify personal and professional characteristics and job placement of Computer Science Graduates and school related factors associated with their employment. Descriptive type of research method was utilized in the study. Results showed that among the job placement profile of the respondents, majority of the respondents were gainfully employed, the work they acquire is related to the course completed, the length of time in searching for a job is one to six months and stayed in their first job in one or two years. One or two years on their job enable them to work with their colleagues, apply their knowledge and skills and develop their confidence to further cultivate, nurture and foster their skills. The job they assume belongs to the different levels of position; most of them are working in professional, technical and even supervisory level belonging to the middle level management. One of the main reasons of not getting their job easily is because of lack of work experience. When it comes to finding a job, work experience is a strong requirement if not the most valuable asset. Employability or work-readiness tops the list of potential employers.All school related factors are found very relevant to the respondents particularly Curriculum and Instruction. Professional subjects as well as the General Education subjects are very useful in performing their everyday tasks. These subjects really helped them familiarize themselves with the updated hardware, software products and services rendered by their employer. Among the skills and competencies found very relevant / useful to their job placement are Information Technology and Communication skills. The work related values that contributed much to their employment are love of God, honesty, love for truth and obedience to the superior which are also the core values of LPU.The proposed action plan is aimed to enhance the relevance or usefulness of the BSCS program in order to raise / improve the employment rate of graduates.Keywords: Tracer Study, Computer Science, Graduates, Employability

Macatangay, L. (2013). Tracer Study of BSCS Graduates of Lyceum of the Philippines University from 2004-2009, Academic Research International, 4(5): 361-377 - To Be or Not to Be: E-Teaching in the Graduate School in the Philippine Perspective By: Ms. Roselie Alday and Ms. Ma. Maureen R. Pascual (2012) This study aimed to devise a method of obtaining a student model using bayesian network for intelligent tutoring systems using Pascal programming language course as the subject. The student model will be used to assess the learning capability of CCS students and how a programming language may be taught in an effective way. The method of developing a student model for the Pascal programming class under the CCS was the major task of this study. This was accomplished by using a flowchart to develop the interface between the student model and the tutor model as a requirement in the components of an ITS.Results showed that the best model could be achieved by considering the best way of presenting the topics in a most effective way, the use of learning enhancement through illustrations, graphics and simulation and presenting the most number of examples as possible. The model best describes the level of learning of students based on what he knows before and what he understands after and applying what he learns through answering questions considered as a quiz to measure his level of performance. This is where Bayesian Network played a great role since it provides the method where input to the prototype can be used for determining probabilities in the network construction.It would be a very great effort for the faculty member concerned to prepare lectures suitable for an ITS (Intelligent Tutoring Systems) and presenting the quiz in a form suitable and appropriate for the student to answer using the computer and not through paper and pen. Through this way, there will be an immediate way of assessing the standing of the student as to what level of understanding of a certain topic he is in, and correspondingly adjust the level of learning by presenting the lecture in more interesting manner rather than pure lecture in the classroom. This is where the interface between the student model and the tutor model was presented through the use of flowchart.A method of developing student model fit for the Pascal programming class obtained by using a simple prototype will enhance the teaching strategies of faculty members in the college since it will depict the learning needs of the students in general which can also be a basis for any programming classes in the future.Keywords: e-teaching, online learning, Teaching Readiness, Graduate School

Velasquez, J. E., Vengco, J. V. (2014). Online Practicum Monitoring System For Lyceum of The Philippines University – Batangas Campus, International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering 6(2): 75-79 - Automated Laboratory Inventory System for CIHM By: Ms. Noemi Almarez and Ms. Rhealyn Umali (2010) This study is a standalone, computer-based system that was designed primarily to carry out inventory. The system was created using Visual Basic 6.0 and Microsoft Access as the database software. The system focused on the computerization of the CITHM laboratory inventory system. A database was present for the list of users, laboratory items and the borrowers’ information.There were two account types based on the intended users. One is the Administrator Account which can be used to create or deactivate a user account depending on the user status. It also enables the administrator to view and print reports if necessary. The User Account allows the laboratory custodian to add, edit, delete, search and update both the lists of laboratory items and the record of borrowers stored in the database in order to carry out both the borrowing and returning inventory transactions.This software allows the laboratory custodian to easily keep track of the borrowers’ accountability, monitor the status and availability of laboratory items and generate an accurate report. This system was intended only for laboratory items and not for cooking ingredients.The authors made use of Software Development process, for the accomplishment of this study. Software Development is the process of developing software in which high quality system is achieved through the application of Systems Development Life Cycle. The SDLC was a phased approach to analysis and design which ensures that systems are best developed through the use of specific cycle of analyst and user activities.With the development of this project , the CITHM is given a new alternative tool for tracking and monitoring the status of borrowed and returned laboratory materials. It reduces the time spent in every transactions concerned. On the other hand, it will provide the faculty members an accurate information about the status of the materials they need in their function schedules. Also, this will aid the laboratory custodians in easy monitoring borrowed, returned and even unreturned laboratory materials.Likewise, complete and timely reports will be easily generated and data loss will not be a problem since the system could create backup files of its database content. In terms of security, all transactions done in the system will be automatically recorded in the transaction log with corresponding date and time record reflecting data ownership among laboratory custodians in case of problem occurrence in the future. With this data integrity is well assured and unauthorized access to the system will be prevented.Thus, the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management need not worry about an accurate, updated, and organized inventory report concerning the laboratory materials.The authors recommend that the Automated Laboratory Inventory System should be implemented by the CITHM as a new and alternative tool in tracking and monitoring laboratory materials and in creating concrete and timely inventory reports. Future researchers and developers can explore and further enhance this system to make it more efficient and effective tool for carrying out an inventory process.Resources, details and other necessary information regarding this project will be available for those who aim to develop a different project of the same concept. A follow up study to determine the usefulness and effectiveness of the developed software is also recommended. Continuous update of the database is needed as well as the username and password secrecy for security purposes.

- Design and Development of an Online Exam Maker and Checker for LPU Batangas City By: Mrs. Cristina Ramos and Mrs. Janice Velasquez (2013) The study is an online, computer aided tool that was designed primarily for the conduct of online examination. The system was created using PHP, a web based scripting language, and MySQL as the database software. The system focuses on the automation of students’ examinations; preparation, scheduling, checking and grading. A database is provided for the storage of exam questions, answers to questions and students’ records. The system allows instructors to create an exam by entering questions with its corresponding answers into the database. Instructors are provided with three options on the type of exam; these include, True or False, Multiple Choice and Fill in the Blanks.There are three account types based on the intended users. One is the Administrator Account; this can be used to create instructor accounts. It can also be used to delete or suspend other accounts based on activity status. The Instructor Account allows teachers to create student accounts and enroll the same. This account can be used also to create, activate, edit, delete exams and monitor students’ performances. The Student Account is for the officially enrolled students where they can take exams and view scores even from previous examinations. This software allows instructors to keep track of students’ performances from all exams since the results will be stored in a database linked to an online system. While taking the online exam, students can choose the number of exam questions that will be displayed on the screen at a given time.A student can take the exam only on the specified date and time set by the instructor. Ideally, a particular exam should be taken only once. In cases of retakes due to valid reasons and special exam considerations, the instructor is given the option to administer the previously activated exam, edit or create a new set of questions. One limitation though, this online system is not to be used to compute for the class performance for the final grade since this requires other components such as seat works, graded recitations, laboratory activities, etc. This only computes and shows the scores from previous exams and the average.Keywords: Online exam maker, online exam checker, online exam maker design, online exam maker development

Design and Development of an Online Exam Maker and Checker, International Journal of Computers & Technology, 10(5):1598-1640 - Reducing Math Anxiety of CCS Students Through E-Learning in Analytic Geometry By: Mrs. Roselie Alday and Mrs. Alona Panaligan (2013) This study was conducted in an undergraduate level with the use of e-learning particularly in analytic geometry to lessen the common fear of Filipino students in mathematics. Since teen age students used to engross themselves with the use of technology specifically computers, this study maximized the capability of computers in reducing math anxiety by teaching mathematics subject using e-learning thus improving student academic performance.Results showed that topics on circles and parabolas are to be taught using the e-learning since these topics can best be presented through diagrams that needs animation and visual presentation that will enhance the learning of students Also, as a product of another finished study, a developed module on e-learning of the said topics was used to determine its effects on students academic performance. An existing non-standardized instrument available in the internet was adopted to measure the level of math anxiety of the participants.It was found out from the results of the exams for the particular topics that there is a positive effect on the use of e-learning since there is an improved score of the experimental class on the topics considered thus reducing math anxiety.

Reducing Math Anxiety Of CCS Students through E-Learning in Analytic Geometry, Educational Research International, 2(1): 76-90 - Online Thesis Browser of Lyceum of the Philippines University By: Mrs. Luisa Macatangay (2009)This study “Online Thesis Browser” was designed and developed to significantly lessen the time and effort spent in browsing the thesis made by the students. It would help both the thesis advisers and students to identify what researches had been done already. Through the developed software theses done by the students could be viewed online per college, per category, per authors with the corresponding abstract as well. It would also help the advisers to identify what researches need enhancement.The system was designed initially to the College of Computer Studies. But the system was designed intended to be used by any of the 10 colleges at Lyceum of the Philippines University. This would address the problems encountered by the advisers and the students in looking for possible topics to be proposed in their thesis writing. This would also help in the avoidance of duplication of titles. Thesis information could be searched and viewed through its thesis titles, authors, college where it belongs and the abstract of the study. Thesis information could also be edited, updated and searched online.The researcher followed the most commonly used design in developing a system, that is SDLC (system development life cycle) which follows different stages in developing a software. SDLC starts with planning phase then design, development, testing and finally implementation of the developed system.The system was tested by the researcher using the actual data that is being used in the current system. The results showed that the theses done by the students could be viewed, updated and searched online. The researcher had an option to view them per college and per category. It is recommended that the developed system be integrated to the current website of Lyceum of the Philippines University.

- Tracer Study of the BS Computer Science Graduates of LB 2001 – 2004: Basis for Curriculum Review By: Mrs. Roselie Alday & Mrs. Noemi Almarez (2007) This study primarily aimed to determine the factors associated with the job placement of the graduates of the College of Computer Studies of Lyceum of Batangas from 2001-2004. Descriptive type of research was utilized in the study.Results showed that among the BSCS respondents, 46% had a job related to the course, while 54% had a job not related to the course. For the ACT respondents, 25% had a job related to the course while the probability of 75% is not related to the course. Most of the BSCS graduates or 425 stayed in their job for more than a year while 12 respondents had their first job for 3 months only. For the ACT, 45% stayed in their jobs for more than 6 months while only 2 respondents stayed in their first job for more than a year. The results also showed that 64% of the BSCS graduates are presently employed while only 5% had never been employed. For the ACT, 44% are presently employed while only 2 respondents had never been employed. Ninety seven percent of the BSCS respondents are full time while only 2 participants are part-time in their job which is the same statistics with ACT graduates.When it comes to the usefulness of the program components in meeting the demands of their present work, Mathematics as a general education subject was the most relevant for the BSCS while for the ACT, it is English. For professional subject, both BSCS and ACT consider Word Processing and Spreadsheet as first.For the faculty and instruction, the BSCS respondents ranked first the personal traits of the teacher who conduct himself in a dignified and professional manner while for instructional competencies, they consider showing respect and consideration of student’s opinions and suggestions as first. For the ACT, there is the same result for the BSCS for faculty personal traits while for the instructional competencies, they consider instructions that develop values and good principles in life among students as first.BSCS found that the professional subjects in terms of curricula and instruction had been significant in the job placement of the respondents. For student services, there are offices that play a significant role in the job placement of the BSCS; these are libraries, accounting/cashier’s office, college or dean’s office and counselling and testing center. For them, organization and administration was not significant to job placement.According to the ACT respondents, in terms of curricula, both professional and general education subjects have significant relationship to their job placement while instructional competency only proved to be significant for faculty. For student services, accounting office, registrar’s office, dean’s office, and counselling and testing office are the significant school-related factors for employment. They also consider organization and administration as not significant. Physical plant, computer laboratory and college laboratories significantly related to their job placement.
Keywords: Employability, Tracer Study, Computer Science, Graduates, Curriculum Review - Student Modeling in Intelligent Tutoring Systems as Assessment of Student Performance Using Bayesian Networks By: Mrs. Roselie Alday (2007)This study aimed to devise a method of obtaining a student model using bayesian network for intelligent tutoring systems using Pascal programming language course as the subject. The student model will be used to assess the learning capability of CCS students and how a programming language may be taught in an effective way. The method of developing a student model for the Pascal programming class under the CCS was the major task of this study. This was accomplished by using a flowchart to develop the interface between the student model and the tutor model as a requirement in the components of an ITS.Results showed that the best model could be achieved by considering the best way of presenting the topics in a most effective way, the use of learning enhancement through illustrations, graphics and simulation and presenting the most number of examples as possible. The model best describes the level of learning of students based on what he knows before and what he understands after and applying what he learns through answering questions considered as a quiz to measure his level of performance. This is where Bayesian Network played a great role since it provides the method where input to the prototype can be used for determining probabilities in the network construction.It would be a very great effort for the faculty member concerned to prepare lectures suitable for an ITS (Intelligent Tutoring Systems) and presenting the quiz in a form suitable and appropriate for the student to answer using the computer and not through paper and pen. Through this way, there will be an immediate way of assessing the standing of the student as to what level of understanding of a certain topic he is in, and correspondingly adjust the level of learning by presenting the lecture in more interesting manner rather than pure lecture in the classroom. This is where the interface between the student model and the tutor model was presented through the use of flowchart.A method of developing student model fit for the Pascal programming class obtained by using a simple prototype will enhance the teaching strategies of faculty members in the college since it will depict the learning needs of the students in general which can also be a basis for any programming classes in the future.Keywords: student modelling, intelligent tutoring, student performance, Bayesian networks
