SCHOOL-BASED MANAGEMENT (SBM) CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PAGSANJAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

There has been a growing interest in recent technological innovations intended to enhance school governance and management. As educational institutions seek higher levels of administrative efficiency and stakeholder interest, the demand for systems that aid in School-Based Management (SBM) processes increases. Unfortunately, available systems provide little or no configuration for this specific problem to ease the burden on the teachers. This is the gap that the researchers intend to address by designing and developing a school-based management control system for Pagsanjan Senior High School. The system encompasses an easy-to-use interface that allows administrators, group leaders, and members to access SBM activities, track performance, and simplify communication. The researchers used the experimental and developmental research design, which guided them in a systematic software design and development approach to structure the system construction processes. During the evaluation phase, the researchers implemented black box testing to assess the system’s operational capabilities and subsequently opened testing with ten evaluators selected from the school community. In addition, the survey-based evaluation for User Acceptance Testing was constructed through ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Standards and incorporated criteria on satisfaction regarding system use and overall system evaluation. The use of five-point Likert scale surveys provided data from evaluative perspectives from a technical standpoint. The results showed that the system fully addresses user requirements and received the evaluation rating of “highly acceptable”, indicating its possible contribution towards improvement in the management and governance of the school
