1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Problem

The problem of students having a hard time understanding the lessons in

Mathematics. the students lack on basic knowledge in Science. Like the following
lessons: Introduction to matter, The Skeletal System, The Periodic Table, etc. And
because by now our society is surrounded by technology, and people, like students
are not paying attention in textbooks and only relying in the technology to find what
they needed. Our solution in that kind of problem is to bring the textbooks
technologically to them. An easy access, portable and helpful mobile application
lessons for Science 6. Doing that the students can access their lessons easily, practice
their Scientific skill and help them cope up better in their lesson.

The general problem is to develop an E-learning mobile application that will

incorporate all the lessons in Science 6. To create an additional learning tool for the
students who are having hard time and enhance their skills and knowledge for those
who don’t. Educational yet interesting to catch the attention of the students.

1.2 Overview of the Current State of the Technology

They are still doing the traditional way of teaching with the use of blackboard

and “Manila paper” and sometimes using projector for entertainment, educational

image or videos. But having that some students are shy or afraid on asking a question

about the lesson he/she didn’t understand that will result of a failing exams or grades.

And teachers are having a hard time to know who did or didn’t understand the lesson.

Another problem is the students are not reading textbooks since it’s old and hard to

carry anywhere.

 1.3 Project Rationale

The way to provide an enjoyable learning lesson for the Grade 6 students is to
introduce them the lesson module using new technology interaction. Because the
young people are so attached by the technology, we make it a way of being solved
for their study. We make it as a tool to provide them an enjoyable way of learning.

As the proponents of this project, we conclude in our brainstorming to provide

an E-Learning Android Application for Grade 6 students in their Science subject. By
this project we assure that every student should learn the lesson enjoyable.

In this Android Application, every activity they tackled in the lesson are
included in the app and every end of the activity, there’s an exciting mind challenge
for the students to enhance their knowledge about the lesson. So, in that way of
learning the students make an easy way to learn and also it helps the teachers to teach
them the Science lesson.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Problem Statement

 To help the students get over the traditional methods of learning and make
them accustomed to the application where the notes for their respective
lessons are easily available.

2.1.2 Proposed Research Project

2.2.1 General Objectives

 To be able to develop an Android-Based E-learning Application for Grade

6 students and to make it as a tool to provide them an enjoyable way of
learning.

 2.2.4 Methodology

“Fourth generation techniques are the package of software tools that enable
a software engineer to specify the characteristics at a high level and then a source
code is automatically generated base on the specification.”
[http://www.only4bca.com]

The 4GT paradigm currently, a software development environment that

supports 4GT paradigm includes some or all of the following tools: nonprocedural
languages for database query, report generation, data manipulation, screen
interaction and definition and code generation; high-level graphics capability; and
spreadsheet capability.

Phases of Fourth Generation Technique

 Requirements Gathering

This is where the definition of requirements necessary in building

SCAN is defined. The developers used different methods in acquiring
information needed such as interviews and observations and researches.

 Design Strategy

The gathered data is translated into set of presentation that describes

data structures, architectures, algorithmic procedures and interphase
characteristic.

 Implementation

This is the third 4GT wherein the design presentation is translated to

an artificial language that result in instruction that could be executed by the
computer. The gathered requirements and design are put into a machine
executable form. The developers would implement using 4GL which enables
them to represent desired output in a manner that results to automatic
generation of code to generate the output. Data structure with relevant
information must exist and be ready accessible by the 4GL.

  Testing

In computer hardware and software development testing is used at key

checkpoints in all overall process to determine whether objectives are being
met. This is required to ensure the system’s quality, reliability and availability
when being used.

 Software

 Android Studio
Android Studio is the official integrated development environment
(IDE) for Google’s Android operating system, built on JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA
software and designed specifically for Android development.

 Photoshop
Photoshop is a raster graphics image editor and is developed and
published by Adobe System. It allows the users to crop, change the color, resize
and manipulate different aspects of an image.

 Firebase
Firebase is essentially a real time database. The data appears as JSON
files and allows real time changes to occur on the connected client side. When
you build cross-platform apps using iOS, Android, JavaScript SDKs, your
clients end up getting all the data that was updated.
