THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
People nowadays are depending upon technologies. Technology is an application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. Every type of job relies upon getting information, using it, managing it, and relaying information to others. Technologies enable the efficient processing and storage of information. Computer technology has a very high impact in our daily lives and in our society. Most of the people depend on the technologies. Technologies change the way people do things, the way people think and the way people handle things. On the other hand, the impact of technology in the field of education has been a great help to the teachers and students to make researches much easier and faster. With the help of the technology, students can access tons of information that would help them to improve better lesson comprehension and class performance. Online grading system was designed to provide an easy way to look-up the grades by the parents and students. It is also the easiest way to manage the grades by the faculty members and school administrators. Grading system was commonly used in computing and analyzing skills of the students. Online grading system contains the collection and evaluation of evidence on student's achievement or performance over specified period of time. Parents also can view the grades and receive some update on the performance of their children. The proponents decided to build this program about Online grading system to help the user especially the school principal, teachers, students and parents who will be the one to use this program. The Online grading system will help the school principal and teachers to encode the grades faster and for the student
to have an easy access to their grades. The Online grading system would be significant especially that Mendez-Nuñez Montessori is still on a manual and traditional process when it comes to deliberation and storing of grades. Through Online Grading System it makes grading process faster, easier, more accurate and more efficient. Teachers would be able to record and compute the grades of their students in anywhere and anytime with an internet access or connection thereby lessening their workload and providing them in added time to attend to other functions, Parents can see the grades online, which means that parents will not call teachers constantly wanting to know his/her student's average, Parents usually view their student's grades and discipline activity online, it is easy to access from any computer on campus or off in the campus. One of the following tools used in creating this system is HTML (Hypertext Mark-up Language). HTML is used for designing the layout and web page of the system. It is a coding language that is used by developers for formatting web pages. It is also better to use because of the ease of manipulating and updating data. It also offers tons of formatting options, different styles and controls that would suit up our program. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation of web pages, including colors, layout, and fonts. It also allows the same mark-up page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods. CSS will help redefining and
Specifically, it aims to:
- To bring convenience to the users.
- To lessen the workloads of the faculty staffs.
- To improve accessibility of grades to working parents. Significance of the Study This Research study will be significant to the following: School’s Principal - It would be beneficial to the Principal of Mendez-Nuñez Montessori because it could provide a faster interaction between the Principal and the teachers/students/parents in terms of Grade recordings and performance evaluation. Teachers - It would be beneficial for the teachers of Mendez-Nuñez Montessori because it will give them faster computation. Thus, helping them reduce workloads and have more time to attend different activities/duties. Students - It would be beneficial to the students of Mendez-Nuñez Montessori because it will provide them faster access of their grades that will give them awareness on how they are doing in school.
Parents/Guardians - It would be beneficial to the parents of the students because they will be able to track their children’s academic performance easily. Especially to those busy parents, they could access the portal anytime and anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. Future researchers - It would be beneficial for future researchers for it may add-up to the improvement of their study. Scope and Limitation of the study This study mainly focuses on Online grading system to be conducted in Mendez-Nuñez Montessori. Our main target will be the Senior High School students of Mendez-Nuñez Montessori. It focuses on academic performance, class ranking and class attendance. Any topic that is not stated above will not be included in the study. Definition of Terms CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) - It is used to carry-out the program’s design and format for the ease of updating and designing. Grades - It is to address every evaluation scores of the students. Grading System - It is the way of how grades are being computed and presented.
REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE
According to Sheryl B. Satorre (2012), “UC CICS WEB-BASED CLASS RECORDING SYSTEM”, University of Cebu, “Computer technology has a very high impact on our lives and to our society. Most often than not, people depend on technology. Computers are changing the way people work, the way people think and the way people handle things.” According to Barreno et.al, a grading system plays an important role in the system of any school but as each student desires to have a good score for each task, the whole process adds heavy workload for teachers in order to make the scoring and evaluation fair and accurate. According to Hampton, et.al ( 2002 ), “documented the use of the online SIS, “PowerSchool.” Teachers used PowerSchool in three consecutive grading periods. In the first and third grading periods, seventy-seven out of one-hundred and thirty-seven grade six students were given extra access to the Internet at school and were required to monitor their grades online. Parents were shown how to use the system at a parent night and were encouraged to monitor their children’s results. Students were encouraged but not required to monitor their progress via PowerSchool in the second quarter. Student GPAs were found to be significantly higher after the first and third quarters than they were after the second quarter. Reactions from both parents and children tended to be quite positive“.
According to Cameron (2011), “The study finds out that implementing an online grading program, properly managed, can effectively and efficiently share timely information between the school and parents.” Languages & Software HTML is a computer language device to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn, with the basics being accessible to most people in one sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows you to create.

It allows one to adapt the presentation to different types of devices, such as large screens, small screens, or printers. CSS is independent of HTML and can be used with any XML-based markup language. The separation of HTML from CSS makes it easier to maintain sites, share style sheets across pages, and tailor pages to different environments. This is referred to as the separation of structure from presentation. Retrieved from ( www.w3.org) PHP also known as “Hypertext Preprocessor” has these examples of functions.
