Effectiveness & User Satisfaction on the Implementation of Online Application for Admission
No full textThe rise of digital solutions in higher education has prompted Palompon Institute of Technology (PIT) to implement an online application system. This study aimed to determine the efficiency and student satisfaction with this system, addressing the gap in understanding its localized effectiveness. A quantitative research design using a descriptive survey method was employed, with simple random sampling among 57 Bachelor of Science in Information Technology students. Respondents were quantitatively evaluated based on system performance and user experience. Statistical analysis was used to assess both aspects. Findings indicated general system effectiveness, indicating that students generally viewed the system as effective in terms of speed, accuracy, and user-friendliness, but revealed concerns regarding technical issues, data security, and inadequate user support. Users recognized overall functionality but noted inconsistencies and insufficient assistance during technical problems. This study contributes by identifying specific areas for improvement in educational digital platforms. Key recommendations include enhancing the user interface with clearer content and navigation, strengthening data security to build trust, and providing comprehensive user training and readily available support. Investing in robust technological infrastructure is crucial for system reliability. By addressing these areas, PIT can significantly improve user satisfaction and streamline the application process, fostering a more efficient and positive experience. This research underscores the importance of continuous improvement in digital systems to meet evolving user needs in higher education

The system was evaluated by 357 respondents, including IT experts, CSS heads, and customers, using an adapted ISO 25010 Software Quality Standards checklist. Results showed that the system was rated as "Highly Acceptable" across eight key quality attributes: functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability, with an overall weighted mean of 4.67. The findings confirm that the developed system effectively meets user needs, enhances feedback management, and supports organizational quality improvements through a more efficient, technology-driven approach
The Utilization of Google Workspace as a Tool to Enhanced Teaching and Learning among the Teachers in Region 8, Philippines
No full textThis paper aimed to determine the extent, usefulness, ease of use and attitude towards the utilization of Google Workspace (formerly G Suite for Education) as a tool to enhanced teaching and learning among the teachers in Region 8, Philippines. The study employed a descriptive correlational research design utilizing survey questionnaire using simple random sampling. The findings revealed that Google Classroom had the highest frequency of utilization and Google Earth was the least utilized. Most of the respondents rated “strongly agree” on its usefulness as a tool but just rated “agree” on ease of use and attitude towards its usage. Further, Correlation analysis revealed that there is significant relationship between extent of utilization of Google Workspace and perceived usefulness but no significant relationship with ease of use and attitude. Thus, the researcher concludes that utilization of Google Workspace as a tool in teaching and learning processes is very effective to enhance educational experience
A Study on the Classification of Local Varieties of Chili Pepper Using Convolutional Neural Networks
No full textThis study focuses on the classification of local varieties of chili pepper using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The four classes of local varieties of chili pepper that will be included are Siling Labuyo (Capsicum frutescens), Siling Haba (Capsicum annuum), Siling Tingala (a hybrid of Capsicum frutescens and Capsicum annuum), and Siling Demonyo (Naga Viper pepper). The ResNet50 model will be employed as the convolutional neural network, and it will be compared against different architectures such as EfficientNet and VGG16. The configuration of hyperparameters, including learning rate and epoch, will also be explored to enhance the performance of the ResNet50 architecture. A newly created chili pepper image dataset will undergo a review and be processed through data augmentation techniques to increase the number of training data. The comparative results show that the ResNet50 model outperformed the EfficientNet and VGG16 models throughout all tests in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision
