School Registration Information System Capstone Project Document

Introduction

The everyday computer plays a key role on the work and the lives of the people. Today many people believe that knowing how to use a computer, especially a PC, is a basic skill necessary to succeed in business or to function effectively in society. The computer plays an important role in the new generation because it makes work easier. Registration System is one of the most important and evident, not only in university but also in lower levels of education. An accurate and efficient register records help to ensure a good impression of the institution a possible student encouraging them to matriculate in the institution. The registration process is to provide a means for staffs and faculty to write down data that are essential to enrollment. As the student increase every year, the registration procedures become harder and harder to deal.

Registration and Information System will provide the needs for storing information in a faster and more convenient way of storing files of the student in a computer system. It will lessen the effort of faculty and staff in storing files of each student every now and then. This information here can be viewed just a second without worrying that a single file is lost. This will also serve as an information database for the transferees and professor in getting access to the subject, teacher, and student enrollees.

Happy Tots Christian School will use the system and by this, they can register students in a short period of time. It can automatically compute tuition fees and other fees of the students. By using an automated system, data can be secured and can easily find information about students. The system is a very big help for them because it can make their work easier and can consume less time to process transaction compared to the previous system they use.

Background of the Study

Happy Tots Christian School is using manual process in registering students’ information. They register students through the use of index card which takes a longer time for them to finish the transaction. Since the current system is encountering difficulties in registering students’ information, the proponents decided to propose a system that focuses on registering students’ information.

Based on the interview of the proponents to Mr Donald P. Casiano, the principal of the school and Ms Agustina G. Agot, the OIC, the main problem of the school is on how to keep and secure student records and transactions without any losses.

The proponents created a system that can help the school to register and encode students profile and information. It enables them to process payments and print receipts. The system can automatically calculate the payment and balances of the students.

Statement of the Objectives

Manual saving of students’ information can be risky and time-consuming in terms of finding it for future use.

Generally, the study aims to:

Develop an automated system that can help Happy Tots Christian School in securing data by creating a password protected software and create a system that can help them register students’ information. The system generates information such as student’s information, assessments and payments.

Specifically, the study aims to:

  1. Efficiency

Allow the OIC and the school head to efficiently submit, record, and view the students’ profile.

  1. Accessibility

Give parents access to easily monitor their child’s tuition fees and other fees through printed documents; and

  1. Security

Ensure the security and confidentiality of information, records and files.

Foreign-Related Literature/Systems

Class Search and Registration System

The purpose of this system is to explore and search the issue facing students using the CSUEB online search and registration system. We employed various marketing research methodologies in order to effectively acquire and formulate our data. These methodologies include constructing a research problem, research objectives and associated research questions. Next, a focus group was arranged taken from a random sample of CSUEB business students. Information from the focus group was used alongside the aforementioned marketing research methodologies in order to create and compose a survey which was sent out to the entire college of business in order to gain a much more in-depth understanding of our research problem. The client, therefore, wanted to know what specific problems the students while using the

system as well as their recommendations, suggestions and solutions to these issues. (danteliu, May 2012)

University Management System

This study promotes a culture of paperless University. The day to day administration and most of the University procedures are carried out online. The University Management System (UMS), an online portal of University, is one such innovative step of the University to provide vital information regarding academics and other University logistics for assisting the University students, their parents and the staff. (The Lovely Professional University, 2011)

Student Information and Record System

This study develops a system that focuses mainly on Student Information and Record System. This study created a database that provides updated records for primary updates done with regards to student’s information and registrar’s reports, this includes updates to student information and grades. Additionally, this system is capable to handle and generate printed copies of Registrar’s primary reports sent to CHED and ABC main campus.

Furthermore, this system is limited to storage and generation of student grades and registrars reports only. Thus, reports that are not usually or normally requested for the registrar to provide or issue are not included into the system as well. The Student Information and Record System, can store and provide the needed information in a faster and more convenient way by storing a file of the student records in a computer system. (Lincoln Eman I. Moguies, 2012)

Happy Tots Enrollment System

Enrollment system is a good example of a computer-generated process. This can lessen the workload and provides accurate information needed by the school. As a result, it will benefit not only the student but the administration as a whole. The idea behind an enrollment system is not a new concept. As student enrollees increase every year, enrollment procedure becomes harder to deal. This will only serve to increase the problem facing enrollment that provides a more easy way of enrolling.

Enrollment system is very essential in a school. By applying this system Enrollment System will provide the needed and storing information in a faster, more convenient way by storing a file of the student enrollees in a computer system that will lessen the effort of faculty staff in storing files of each student every now and then. This will also serve as information especially for the irregular students, freshmen, transferee, and teachers are able to get access to student enrollees.

Synthesis

The related literature will serve as a guide of the researchers in developing the proposed system. The Class Search and Registration System is quite similar to our study but Happy Tots Registration and Information System are not applicable online. University Management System is also an online portal that promotes paperless transactions. In this study, the proponents are promoting less use of paper and through this system, the files can be secured and the risk of losing information will be minimal. Student Information System can be applied to Happy Tots Christian School for the staff to be able to locate student’s data faster and easy. Unlike the manual system of scanning student profiles, Enrollment System can help provide the needed information in a more convenient way by using an automated system of storing files. Student Information and Record System can provide updated records and reports fast but accurate. And this system is also capable of handling and generating printed copies of Registrar’s reports. Through this system, the proponents can create an easier way to help the personnel lessen the loss of data, ensure the security of files, and reduce the time work of the staff.

Methodology

This chapter introduces the research strategy and techniques applied in this research.

The proponents followed the standard software development life cycle (SDLC), to describe and present solutions for the problems identified in this study, using the prototype model.

In this model, the stages have some overlap, meaning that there were many tasks that happen concurrently. This overlap allowed for some backtracking to incorporate changes to requirements based on what is learned during the development stage. The upside to the flexible nature of this model is that there is a lot more flexibility to correct mistakes and make small changes, leading to less re-work later on in the project.

In a software development effort, the goal is to produce high-quality software. Software development approaches are important, as it imposes consistency and structure on a set of activities. Its structure guides team actions by allowing them to examine, understand, control and improve the activities that comprise the process. The need of following and selecting a formal process for software development is to offer desired discipline to deliver a better quality product for the success of a business and to avoid wastage of money and time in developers. The development process is the series of activities that will produce such software. A software development process model is broken down into different activities. Basic activities of software engineering processes are as follows: Planning, Analysis, Design, Development, Testing, Implementation, and Maintenance phases.

Planning Phase

This study found out that Happy Tots Christian School is using manual inventory of register of the student. There is a possibility that student’s information might be lost.

The researchers have determined that in order to meet the needs of the Happy Tots Christian School and school branches and to overcome the limitations of the present manual system of registering of students’ information and payments, a registration management and information system should be developed.

The researchers will provide security of the information of the students and loss of payments data to the school.

Analysis Phase

This study utilizes interview method to gather the relevant data to determine what the limitations of the current registration of Happy Tots Christian School. This questionnaire intended to identify the needs of the school branches.

Development Phase

The researchers used the software design for developing the codes to create the system, following the design and functions identified in the system specifications.

Design Phase

prototyping model

Figure 2: The Prototyping Model

The proponents will use a desktop computer, with Windows 7 up to Windows 10 as the operating system for the development of the system. Sublime Text as the text editor for using PHP as the markup language. CSS is used for the design development, in order to make the system looks presentable to the user. For the server side scripting language, the proponents will use MySql for the database storage.

Testing Phase

Testing phase occurs as part of development process. The researchers tested the input and output of the system to determine if the system functioned correctly.

Implementation Phase

This is the phase of the project where the developed system of the researchers is already done and the documentation of the study is written. It will be deployed for the trial period of one year in the school to assess its effectivity.

Maintenance Phase

Continued maintenance and support are addressed in this phase. Suggestions made by the users of the system will be considered for its development. This process provides the ongoing maintenance of the system and improves some bugs that occur in the system.

Population of the Study

The primary target population of the study were the 200 students of the Happy Tots Christian School. The target population also expanded to its 6 branches which all of them were using manual process in registering students information. Therefore, they can surely benefit from the system.

Users Acceptance Survey

The system underwent user acceptance testing by the users of the system: the principal or the administration and staff, the OIC or Officer-in-charge.

Requirement Specification

Operational Feasibility

Basically, the goals of the system were to develop the following functionalities, this system provides an organized system which allows the OIC to register students, promote students to another level, archive of data, and provide security to transactions. With that said, the system will surely be beneficial to the school.

Program Environment

Front End

The front end is the interface between the user and the system. The front end is the one responsible for collecting the input data from the user and then processing it so that it completes the request that the user has made. In this study, the proponents use PHP as the main scripting language, while HTML and Javascript for providing the user interface of the system. As for the design the proponents use CSS style codes.

Back End

The back end is the “server-side” scripting codes that reside in the server. In this study, the researchers use PHP as the server side scripting language which serves as the middleware and MySql for the database.
