CavSci Information Desk

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

One of the main problems of some people especially visitors visiting Cavite National Science High School, was having difficulties knowing the information about the school in terms of the location of the buildings, schedules, and the faculty in the school. With the use of advanced technology, Cavsci Interactive Desk (CID) is a modern solution to these common problems faced by the people toward our school. Kiosks are stand-alone devices that can deliver the same amount of quality for everyday use, and it does simple tasks such as answering questions, or providing information.

METHODS

Evaluation forms which consisted of a criteria and a rating table that was measured from one to five. Five being the highest and one being the lowest. The survey in terms of: (a) Appearance, (b) Content, (c) Functionality, (d) Accessibility was answered by 108 random Grade 7 students of Cavite National Science High School and the researcher computed the result for examinations and data analyses.

RESULTS

After surveying 108 random students from Grade 7, the data were evaluated by the researchers. The passing percentage of the survey must be at least 70%. Based on the results, the percentage of the survey given by the researchers and answered by the chosen Grade 7 students was 82.5% which shows that they have a positive response towards the prototype. Because of the result of the survey, the researcher concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected. The result showed that the prototype was proven to be accurate in terms of appearance, content, accessibility, and functionality.

DISCUSSIONS

CavSci Information Desk was a prototype device that is intended to inform the students about the information about Cavite National Science High School through the use of advanced technology. Based on the evaluation of random Grade 7 students, the CID gathered 82.5% of the positive responses which means that CID reached the public standards that gives relevant information. With the use of CID, Cavite National Science High School can compete with other schools in making advanced technology relevant in giving knowledge to people. Kiosks that can be found in some places lacks information that can satisfy the inquirer’s query. CID aims to provide correct information to the user in order to satisfy it’s questions and queries.
