THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

INTRODUCTION

Rationale of the Study

From birth to death, people generate and consume data (Coronel &

Morris, 2017).

For centuries; paper work has been used by institutions to record

information; however there are drawbacks to this kind of information

management. It takes up much time for storing, sorting, and analyzing, updating,

retrieving and finding records in this way. Institutions, specifically universities and

colleges having this kind of information management have a hard time in doing

such tasks with paper works. Problems usually arise such as data redundancy,

inconsistency, data loss. Also paper works takes up too much space in an office.

With the rising population of students and the fast pace improvement of the

world’s technology, most universities and colleges have switched from manual

database to electronic database.

Databases are used in organizations worldwide starting from small

institutions to big institutions. According to Agarwal (2012), a database is a

collection of information which is designed to store large bodies of information in

an organized and structured manner that makes it easier to manage and retrieve

data. Handling large information means there is a need to improve the

information management if it is poor.

Coronel and Morris (2017) said that data is managed more efficiently and

effectively when it is stored in a database. Electronic database has a handful of

advantages over manual database. Tasks done are much easier, less money is

spent, less storage and less time is consumed when electronic database is used.

Cebu Technological University-Tabogon Extension has just recently

started which means the university has to start from the bottom. As a rising

university, the management is quiet meager. Facilities in the university are

rundown from inside and outside the rooms; lack of computers, security in the

university, nonexistence of library, absence of offices for managing the different

sectors and organizations of the university with regards to student information

and university files and many more. With these problems faced by Cebu

Technological University-Tabogon Extension, the handling of student information

in terms of storage and resources, redundancy and consistency, may be solved

through Electronic Student Record Management, which is an electronic database

which makes managing information of the students easy. It is an easier way of

storing and retrieving information of the students giving less redundancy,

inconsistency and less storage space.

Literature Background
 The need to record data goes back to earliest recorded history. Evidences

of attempts to provide permanent records of transactions in Sumerian clay

tablets, in artifacts left by Babylonians, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and cave

paintings are seen. Paper records or other written forms have been used for

centuries to record information about family histories, treaties, and other

agreements, household and business inventories, school enrollment, employee

records, payment for goods and services, census data, and many other facets of

life. (Ricardo & Urban,2015 )

A database is a tool for collecting and organizing information. Databases

can store information about people, products or anything else. Many databases

start as a list until it grows bigger and redundancies and inconsistencies begin to

appear in the data. (Raut, 2013)

The data becomes hard to understand and there are limited ways of

searching or pulling subsets of data out for review. Once these problems start to

appear, it’s a good idea to transfer the data to a database created by a database

management system. (Raut, 2013)

Database is designed, created and maintained to serve the information

needs of the people who use the data to perform their jobs. In a typical database,

data is stored in a format that makes it easy to access, either for individual

queries or large reports. (Ricardo & Urban,2015)

There are two kinds of databases; the manual database and the electronic

database. In the manual database, data and information are kept in papers so
the system is paper-based. On the other hand the electronic database, according

to the website Queensland Government, data and information is kept on

computers in which software programs are used to simplify electronic records

and produce meaningful reports.

Electronic databases have advantages over manual databases one of

which is the efficient sharing of data, control of redundancy, data consistency,

improved data standards, better data security, improved data integrity, balancing

of conflicting requirements, better data accessibility, and better backup and

recovery procedures. (Ricardo & Urban,2015)

 CHAPTER 2

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the results and discussion of data from the

interviews that were done.

Two informal interviews were done to two teaching staff of Cebu

Technological University – Tabogon Extension Campus who has adequate

knowledge on the current existing enrollment system and record management of

the university.

The Cebu Technological University – Tabogon Extension Campus has just

recently started in the year 2015. Some challenges are currently faced by the

university and two of these are the enrollment system and record management of

the university.

Loss of enrollment forms was experienced resulting for filling up another

enrollment form of the loss student’s enrollment form. Every end of semester,

consolidation of student’s name and grades are done; some errors were

encountered like students who were not enrolled in the extension campus were

listed and were even given grades. There were also instances where in students

who were enrolled in the extension campus was not listed in the consolidation of

names and grades. Students are counted using manual counting; this system is

characterized by manual form filing to get bio-data of the students, and later
transfer of the information from manual data, capture forms to computerized

datasheets, therefore, it has led to excessive number of mistakes to the final

displacement of some student forms hence leading to confusion at the time of

consolidating.

This means that Cebu Technological University – Tabogon Extension

Campus has enrollment system and record management which is not good

enough to support the management of the university in terms of student records.

This implies that the university has poor record management. Poor record

management results in difficulties in administering and monitoring an educational

institution and needs an improvement.

This supports Nandutu’s study (2016), who quoted Jonelle (2002) ,who

noted that management information system is vital in assisting executives and

the general workforce in performing tasks related to the processing of information

and Satyanarya (2009) who said that, management information system in

maintenance of student records in the university helps to provide accurate and

timely information necessary to facilitate the decision-making process and enable

the organizations planning, control, and operational functions to be carried out

effectively. Nandutu also stated that poor records management and the lack of

staff development along the entire information cycle are responsible for problems

with management and policy implementation in University.

 CHAPTER 3

SUMMARY FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter deals with the summary of the study, finding arrived and

conclusions formulated.

Summary

This study has been chosen to address the enrollment process and record

management of Cebu Technological University – Tabogon Extension Campus.

Some problems are faced by the university in terms of the enrollment process

and student record management. The researchers came upon this topic to

recommend a way to improve the university’s enrollment process and student

record management. Interviews were done to two teaching staff and found out

that the enrollment process and student record management of the university is

unsatisfactory.
 Findings

Loss of enrollment forms was experienced resulting for filling up another

enrollment form of the loss student’s enrollment form. Every end of semester,

consolidation of student’s name and grades are done; some errors were

encountered like students who were not enrolled in the extension campus were

listed and were even given grades. There were also instances where in students

who were enrolled in the extension campus was not listed in the consolidation of

names and grades. Students are counted using manual counting; this system is

characterized by manual form filing to get bio-data of the students, and later

transfer of the information from manual data, capture forms to computerized

datasheets, therefore, it has led to excessive number of mistakes to the final

displacement of some student forms hence leading to confusion at the time of

consolidating.
 Conclusion

Based on the finding of the study, Cebu Technological University –

Tabogon Extension Campus has enrollment system and record management

which is not good enough to support the management of the university in terms

of student records. Thus, the university has poor record management. Poor

record management results in difficulties in administering and monitoring an

educational institution. Improvement and implementation of faster and reliable

record management is needed. Furthermore, the researchers have come up with

a recommendation.
 Recommendation

The researchers have come up with a recommendation in regards to the

problems in the enrollment system and student record management of Cebu

Technological University - Tabogon Extension Campus. A computer-based

system of enrollment process and student record management will help in

improving and providing efficient information to all the student and administration.
