DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A COMPUTER-BASED LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ON THE CLASS PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDENTS

According to dictionary definitions, learning is both knowledge gained by study, instruction or scholarship and the act of gaining knowledge. For Bass and Vaughan (1966), it is a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of practice or experience, while managing learning and teaching involves helping others to enhance their knowledge, skills, abilities and understanding of the world around them. Consequently, rapid technological and social change means that how people learn becomes as important as what they learn; indeed, knowing where and how to find answers is becoming as important as knowing what the answers are, if only because the nature of truth and what counts as knowledge as the pace of technology quickens. One important function of technology is in the field of education. Learning through the use of computer technology is a must in this era of innovation. Learners can easily cope up with the knowledge and skills necessary to become globally competitive. Computer- based training and distance learning education systems currently offered by some institutions somehow sustain the needs of learners who want to engage themselves with specialized subjects and trainings at their ease. These are the reasons why the researchers decided to develop a system capable of providing the learning and assessment on the learning capabilities of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) students of Lipa City Colleges, Philippines. This system was also developed to evaluate and determine if the technology-based learning could help in improving the learning

capabilities of the students. By providing all the learning materials in the system such as lectures, examinations and class records, this system development was tested and evaluated in terms of its functionality, usability, reliability, performance and extensibility. After the implementation of the system it was concluded that 1.) The computer-based learning provides a better avenue for learning since the academic performance of the students who used the system was improved since it provides a more interactive and innovative method of learning 2.) The level of students academic performance will be improved if the learning methods to be used are based on interest of the learners. 3.) Most of the learners who used the system are visual. 4) The system was found to be functional, usable, reliable, performed well and extensible. More so, this research used the qualitative research design and different research instruments were also employed such as questionnaires, interviews and observation. Stratified sampling was also used and statistical treatment techniques used were simple percentage and weighted mean.
