SNNHS e-KART: TRANSFORMING SCHOOL-BASED INCOME GENERATION WITH A WEB-MOBILE ONLINE MARKETPLACE

This study examines the development and effectiveness of SNNHS e-Kart, a Web-Mobile Based Online Marketplace designed to enhance school-based entrepreneurial activities at Sto. Niño National High School. The platform facilitates organized transactions, financial tracking, and expanded market reach for the school’s Income Generating Projects (IGPs). The study employed a validated questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess the system’s Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, and Overall Acceptability among students, teachers, IT professionals, and community members. Findings indicate that SNNHS e-Kart is user-friendly, efficient, and widely accepted across all respondent groups, proving its effectiveness as a school-based digital marketplace. The study recommends enhancing payment processes, improving hardware compatibility, and conducting user training to optimize the platform’s long-term usability. The results suggest that SNNHS e-Kart can serve as a model for other schools aiming to integrate digital solutions into income-generating initiatives.
