INTRODUCTION
The rapid growth of technology is becoming wider and creates a huge impact
on our lives. It will help in easy storage and access of all information for all purposes
in a short period of time. However, in most academic institutions in developing
countries, attendance is usually taken manually using paper sheets, in this process it
is not efficient and it is also time consuming. According Recording attendance in
manual-based requires more time to speed and it sometime lead to errors.
Maintaining attendance records is possibly not property recorded if it stays on
manual process. According to (Ta bassom,, 2009) It becomes cumbersome for the
management to regularly update the record and manually calculate the percentage
of classes attended. It is a fact that the importance of student attendance for any
school purposes makes the school functionable and causes a high level of academic
success.
Attendance plays a significant role in today's lives of college students. Every
school has different regulations for students regarding their presence in school
events or programs. Thus, the accurate record of attendance becomes very
important to support attendance requirements. Attendance in colleges is generally
paper based which may sometimes cause errors and taking attendance manually
consumes more time; these mechanisms are being used for a long time. However, it
is inefficient and is difficult to manually calculate the percentage of events attended
by students. To overcome the existing system, switching to an automated system
yields fantastic time and cost savings, both in the short and long-term. With the
advent of the new proposed system, the proponents assured that it has remarkable
benefits for doing attendance tasks, especially in School Events. (Masinghaw &
Herington, 2006) there was a reluctance to pursue formalized attendance monitoring.
It facilitates the attendance of students. Moreover, to open up a system it will bring a
well-developed process of monitoring attendance in a particular event.
The School Event Attendance Monitoring System will serve as a basis to
monitor the attendance of the student during school events. The said application will
provide an efficient way of checking the attendance of the students and responsible
for keeping their records. This process of checking the attendance of students will be
paperless and does not have much time to spend. The development of this software
project will facilitate the general administrator system to manage information of
student attendance as well as its records and also can access accurate information
correctly and easily which leads to increased efficiency & effectiveness of the
organization too.
The purpose of the study is to boost student engagement at school events and
improve attendance management. With the use of this technology, student
attendance will be tracked automatically and more effectively, resulting in accurate
records and effective event management.
1.5.1 Scope
1.5.2 Limitation
School Event Attendance System can be viewed on a laptop or
computer but the system shall be used only on windows based computer
systems which can process information gathered through the system. This
system cannot be manipulated on its own and needs an operator to be able to
be used by the students. The system cannot read multiple attendance
simultaneously. Since this proposed system is only intended for school
events, the system will be used only when the campus has an activity or
program. Only the administrator is capable of editing or modifying the records
of the students.
The following were the technical terms defined to serve as reference for the
readers:
In this chapter the researchers presented the citations of the related systems
and the related literature. Discussed were the concepts and ideas that serve as
guidelines for the researchers to successfully develop the study.
RFID tag passes through the RFID reader in a read range zone, the
system records data from the RFID tag to the database. Data sent online to
the management for the supervision of the students. At some point, we
noticed that the registration must be covered as well. The main reason why is
that there are some records to be considered with regards to the student’s
important records in the registration files like the situation of a student in their
school. All in all, we can say that this system is more efficient and less time
consuming for the school to identify whether the student is officially enrolled
and has an authorized school ID. (Joyce Erika Salud, Attendance Monitoring,
2019)
There are numerous proposals for School Event Attendance Systems in the
literature and in the market. Nowadays, a lot of options for attendance are frequently
used in most industries, supermarkets, and wherever information needs to be read
automatically.
This chapter includes the discussions of the design, concepts, diagram and
the methodology of the study.

The figure 1 shows the conceptual diagram of the study during development
and completion of it by showing the input, process and output. The input shows the
software requirements for the prototype during development and also what are the
possible data needed to be stored in the database. As for the process, it shows the
developmental model utilized by the researchers to carry out the study in which the
specific processes under the process box are the specific objectives of the study that
the researchers aimed to achieve. Lastly, as for the output box, it shows the main
and the specific output. The main output refers to the output of the study as a whole
system, while the specific output refers to the functionality of the developed study,
and what are the possible things that the developed study can do.
In order to achieve the main goal of the study the researchers conducted several
research and planning to come up with a concept that can be applied in the study.
By understanding the specific needs of the educational institution, conducting
feasibility assessments, and examining current attendance management practices, a
comprehensive system design can be created. This includes determining the
functional and non-functional requirements, designing an intuitive user interface,
defining the database structure, and implementing security measures. The system is
then developed, tested, and deployed, with user training and support provided for a
successful transition. Throughout the process, feedback is collected to evaluate
system performance and make necessary improvements, ensuring an efficient and
effective school event attendance system.
