Data Gathering Techniques

These are the quintessence that the researchers used in gathering

data, and information needed in developing the proposed system. It may
help to make the system possible because of the instruments and techniques
used.
Internet. The researchers used internet for surfing such data or
information for the additional information and knowledge regarding on the
proposed system. To improve some of the features of the proposed system
and to evaluate the importance of it. The researchers know that Internet
gives a lot of information.
Interview. The researchers conducted an interview to the school to
gather some important data and information needed for the development of
the system.
Books. The researchers also relied on the thesis books available at the
library to gather information that help them to improved their system.
Questionnaire. The researchers floated questions and conducted
survey to distinct the existing system used by the school and with the
proposed system.

Gantt chart. This tool is used by the researchers to follow the
scheduled assignment to have a guide and to help them keep in track on
what are things must do in everyday.

Statistical Treatment of Data

A. For finding the weighted mean in the presentation analysis and

interpretation of data, the researcher used this formula.
WM= (1)f+(2)f+(3)f+(4)f+(5)f
N
Where:
WM= Weighted mean
n= no. of respondents

B. For finding the rank on problems encountered by the parents/guardian in

the manual attendance information dissemination of their student in the
presentation analysis and interpretation of data, the researcher used this
formula.
