Alimannao Hills, Peablanca, Cagayan CHAPTER I BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Introduction Computer world is now at our hands, this give improvement and development of all programs in the different agencies, in offices and in schools. Paper work become easy, computation is faster, record keeping and bringing out is fast. In schools, all works became easily fast to look at record, easily to reproduce student record. Since, computation of grades is one burden of the teachers, computerization made the answer in solving, in recording and computing students performances and achievement. The same is through in keeping records and forms incorporated in their work aside from guidance and advice. Computation of grades in school became easy for modern teacher but for traditional one they found difficult but now no burden in recording, transmitting, giving the equivalent and the final grades for teachers who are computer literate, where time, effort and energy is minimized.
This is the point of this study, to device a program in order to ease the computation of grades and ranking the students basing their subjects performances. This is now the scenario and dilemma of LIBERTAD NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.
Alimannao Hills, Peablanca, Cagayan Now, with the technology which is to be developed, it will enable them to do more with less effort. The program will not continuously find way to improve and expedite the calculation of grades. The use of computer nowadays is necessary to replace the manual system that affects efficiency and effectiveness, accuracy and reliability.
Alimannao Hills, Peablanca, Cagayan Statement of the Problem The upgrading of the LIBERTAD NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL will facilitate the teachers in preparing grades, submitting grading sheets thus lesser time to prepare High School Card to deliver to Parents during Card Day. Effort is lessened due to immediate inputting of data to each student in their records prepared earlier in enrollment, thus gives automatic computation of the equivalence, summing up and multiplied to its percentage for the final grade. This device is for all teachers to record all the required data needed for the component on the grading system. The final grade comes out. This system is truly
organized because all the required data is pre-programmed and settled and as a result, computation is facilitated and made easier and aside from this all records, data can be save and keep. For the student, in order to understand easily the grading system, the teacher explains the operation in the computation of their grades.
Alimannao Hills, Peablanca, Cagayan Objectives of the Study General Objective: To have a base system of grade computation of the LIBERTAD NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. This aims to lessen the time and effort in computing grades. Accurate and faster manipulating of data.
Specific Objective: Manipulate data easily. Find/copy other data easier and faster. Fast tracking in the checking of the grading sheets. Lesser time in monitoring the preparation of grading sheets.
Significance of the Study This study is beneficial on the part of the direct recipient, and the researchers itself. Scope and delimitation Scope The computerized grading system provides faculty staffs/teachers a faster and more accurate way of grade computation. This system is an enhanced way provided for the teachers of Libertad National High School for an easier way and ease of access of student grade computation and assessment.
Alimannao Hills, Peablanca, Cagayan Delimitation Fast application process. Fast in tracking and manipulating of grade. Lessen the time in the preparation of grading sheets. Lesser time and effort in importing grade and other data.
Methodology of the Study In this study, descriptive method is use; to do this the researchers issued questionnaires of the grading system of the different subject areas of LIBERTAD NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. It includes visitation, observation of the work environment and interview. Site Visit To have a clearer background, the researchers visited the location of the school, LIBERTAD NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL at Barangay Libertad, Abulug, Cagayan and see the Computer Laboratory of the School. Interview It is a kind of collecting information or data from an individual face to face. The researchers interview the teachers computer teacher and principal of the school as to the system of grading used by the school.
Alimannao Hills, Peablanca, Cagayan Observation The researchers observe the teachers in manually recording computing and transmitting the grades obtain by the students in the class record to the grading sheet for checking at the office. Data Gathering In order to arrive a good output, the researchers gathered data by the descriptive Method of Research. In this method, researchers used descriptive survey through the questionnaires floated to respondents, the school teachers and students, so that researchers can gather important data and information regarding to the study that cannot ask verbally. Internet Surfing The Department of Education Website is used in gathering some data needed using www.DepEd.com.ph

This Computerized Grading System will help improve the speed in computing the grades of the student making the work of the teachers during examination dates easier. Likewise, in the preparation of examination, the teachers will have easier way in encoding and printing out the computed grade for the approval with an interactive interface making the process easier and comfortable for the teachers. It would eliminate the use of test papers in taking examination making it more economically friendly. It would help the students receive their scores right after examination to know their academic performance in a particular subject.

The estimated professional rate per month is P25, 000.00. The subprofessional rate is computed 35% of the estimated professional rate
(P32,664.8)
P65,329.6
The cost of labor is computed as system development period multiplied by subprofessional rate per hour multiplied by the number of researchers. To compute for the number of hours to be consumed outside the school, 80 hours is subtracted from the total number of hours for the system development

Alimannao Hills, Peablanca, Cagayan CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Conclusion The researchers concluded that the Computerized Grading System for Libertad National High School at Abulug, Cagayan was developed according to the system requirements gathered initially. The researchers concluded that the Computerized Grading System should be implemented because it provides more accurate records, efficient report and fast accessing of data in terms of emergencies. Recommendation Based from all the observations, data gathering and analysis of the present grading system of the Libertad National High School, the researchers found out that most of the grading computations are done manually and consumes a large amount of time. We therefore recommended the school to implement a Computerized Grading System for them to be able to keep accurate and efficient data records, lessen the workloads of the faculty staffs and teachers on grade computations, and thus can save a lot of time.
