Chapter III
This chapter presents the methods of research used by the researchers, locale of the
study, respondents of the study, the measuring instrument, how data were gathered and
RESEARCH DESIGN
The researchers have used the descriptive research method which involves data
gathering to acquire information regarding the current situation that were organized,
described and tabulated. In the descriptive research method, the researchers collect
information for the developing system. The researchers were able to gather substantial data
on perceptions, opinions and interest of the users on the developing Pre-enrollment website
The researcher prepared a letter seeking for the approval of the concerned authority.
After seeking for approval, the researcher prepared the questionnaire, had it checked and
approved by the research adviser, english critic and statistician then they administered the
survey questionnaire to respondents. The researcher tallied the responses according to the
questions in the statement of the problem then the responses were put into tables and graphs
The researchers used this instrument to determine the problems encountered using the
traditional enrollment system in terms of time productivity, and to identify the advantage
This instrument was used by the researchers to know the benefits and
advantages of the Pre-enrollment website for UPHSL-IC. The respondents who answered
the questionnaires were the admission admins, Grade 10 and Grade 11 students of the
institution.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The following are the different instruments used by the researcher in gathering
information/data. They used the survey questionnaire as the main instrument in gathering
data. The survey questionnaire was distributed to the respondents of the study for them to
answer honestly. Any information gathered with this instrument were analyzed and
Internet Method
The researchers surfed and browsed the internet to search essential information needed
in the documentation of the study. This method was used in gathering advanced study
regarding the proposed system. This method is the newest means of searching for any
The respondents of the study are the Grade 10 and grade 11 students and admins of
STATISTICAL TREATMENT
To answer the problem of the study, the researchers utilized the following statistical
treatment:
1. Frequency counts and percentage distribution were used to describe the problems
P = f/n x 100
Where:
P = percentage
n = total respondents
f = frequency
2. Weighted mean was used to determine the time efficiency, reliability and security
W(x) = ∑f(x) / ∑f
Where:
A four-point rating scale was utilized to recognize the degree of responses with the
determine the qualitative description of the different evaluation criteria for the time,
Likert Scale
The data below shows the weighted mean range and its descriptive interpretation used in
the interpretation of data during the evaluation on the problem of compliance of the current
website.

Laguna – Isabela Campus will use waterfall model SDC. It is the most popular model that
has been use in system development life cycle (SDLC). Waterfall model is the simple and
easier to use and to be understood by others. In every phase of waterfall has review process.
The waterfall model which is known as classic life cycle model is the first model to be
introduced. The waterfall model was first model used for software development. The
process phases of the waterfall model will be separately divided, the one phase outcome
will act as the input in the next phase sequentially. In addition, the waterfall model will
help to plan and schedule the system development. Development process moves from
planning, analysis, designing, implementation, testing and will end up with maintenance.

All possible requirements of the system to be developed are captured in this phase
first the existing and have identified its strengths and weaknesses using questionnaire.
System Design
The requirement specifications from first phase are studied in this phase and the
system design is prepared. This system design helps in specifying hardware and system
requirements and helps in defining the overall system architecture. The system design
Implementation
With inputs from the system design, the system is first developed in small programs
called units, which are integrated in the next phase. Each unit is developed and tested for
All the units developed in the implementation phase are integrated into a system
after testing of each unit. Post integration the entire system is tested for any faults and
failures.
Maintenance
There are some issues which come up in the client environment. To fix those issues,
patches are released. Also, to enhance the product some better versions are released.

One of the most effective method to track the root cause or problem of the agency
or at the area were the study was taken on the school, fishbone method is being used
because researcher can determine what problems are going to be solve when the system is
being implemented. The diagram below shows what are the data gathered by the researcher
and it shows the cause and effect of the current system of school.
