PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF FINDINGS

This chapter organizes the findings, analysis and presentation of the data.

The data presented the development of the system in terms of performance,

reliability and aesthetics. This part of the research also presents the acceptability

in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. This could help to

determine the level of development and acceptability of Automated Computer

Science Subject and Grade Evaluation System.

Development of the Automated Computer Science Subject and Grade Evaluation

System

The researchers presented the following data in getting the final rating of

the quality of the system development in terms of Performance, Reliability and

Aesthetics through the use of weighted mean and to know the level of development

of the system as rated by the respondents. There were 3 respondents who

measured the development of the system.

Table 1.0 shows the quality of the level of development of the system in

terms of performance, reliability and aesthetic rated by the 3 respondents. There

were 16 total points for Highly Developed, 35 total points for Very Developed and

3 total points for Developed. There were no points for the Fairly Developed and

Poorly Developed ratings. The overall weighted mean was 4.24 which proved that

the level of development of the system in terms of performance, reliability and

aesthetic is HIGHLY DEVELOPED. The internal experts found the system reliable

and efficient.

Table 3.0 shows the result of the tabulation which determined the value of

the significant difference of quality of development of the system. It contributed to

the result of the computed number of frequency rated by the respondents. It

 35

showed that the computed value was 28.67773181 as a result of the Chi-square

computation and the tabular value was 43.773.

Since the tabular value was greater than the computed value and the

descriptive ratings as rated by the respondents were Developed, Very Developed

and Highly Developed, it showed that the rating was very close. Therefore, the

interpreted data results proved that there was no significant difference between

the three categories of the level of development. And so, the null hypothesis is

accepted. This means that the system is highly developed in terms of performance,

reliability and aesthetic.
