A Mobile-Based Student Profile System that Uses the Quick Response (QR) Code for the Alitagtag Senior High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Technology is a common way of communication in everyday life. It can be used in different aspects like communicating through the use of calling and messaging text, sharing photos, videos, files, and applications. One way mobile phone users can be able to access data quickly is using quick response (QR) codes. In this study, having a quick response (QR) code is a new way to enhance the Alitagtag Senior High School's strategy in accessing information of every student. It gives a productive response in giving information and can solve the problem in terms of communicating with the school's personnel.

METHODS

This study employed a descriptive method of research. It was done through a survey questionnaire constructed for the purpose of determining the status of the school and students in taking important information about student's profile using quick response (QR) code. All top eight students in all strands of Alitagtag Senior High School became the respondents. They were chosen because they are expected to have enough knowledge and because they can answer the questions directly to the point.

RESULTS

Many participants identified problems in Alitagtag Senior High School in assessing student's profile, such as accessibility of getting information with school personnel, and timeliness of the information. The participants emphasized the importance of having a systematic method of acquiring students' profile. Using quick response (QR) code it shows how Alitagtag Senior High School upgrade their strategy in taking information for every student and a problem can also arise when inaccurate assumptions of need are substituted fora formal needs assessment. The finding revealed that the school can address these problems by gathering data on patron and staff reactions and expectations regarding QR codes to identify and test assumptions and needs to support further QR code implementations.

DISCUSSIONS

The results then provide the needed information to develop a mobile-based system that focuses on students' profile. The problem assessed by the respondents will not be encountered anymore by the said system. The findings also confirmed the conclusions of the study of Powell (2009), where he emphasized that in every school, student's profile is very important in order for the school's administrator and other personnel to be aware of the scholastic and family background of students for it gives way to further diagnosis of the learner's strengths and weaknesses.
