Purpose -Online courses, as a pedagogical approach to teaching, boomed during this Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic era. Universities shifted from traditional face-to-face classes to online distance learning due to the cause of the pandemic. This study aimed to determine how effective an online course is in learning a programming course.Method -The study utilized mixed-method research applied through a validated survey questionnaire consisting of closed-and open-ended questions. Python programming was the course selected to undergo the study and underwent an evaluation to determine the students' responses. Student respondents are from Bulacan State University, a state university in the Philippines, under the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology program.Results -Based on their responses, the students found that the online Python programming was Very Effective, with an overall mean of x=4.49. This result shows that students found the online course effective, provided the proper course design and content, allowed them to spend enough time finishing tasks, and provided communication and interaction with their instructor and fellow students. Additionally, students gave overwhelmingly positive responses when asked what their instructors had done well on the course delivery and provided insightful and constructive comments for further enhancement and delivery of the course. 1686Conclusion -This study found that most students strongly agreed and believed in the effectiveness of delivering the Python Programming course asynchronously. With such positive results from the student's perspective and evaluation, the course can be enhanced to continue providing quality education at Bulacan State University.Recommendations -Revisit the course syllabus to identify the contents that should be well interconnected. Include more examples, exercises, quizzes, and activities throughout the course to help students assess their learning. Provide more means of communication and interaction with students even if the course is delivered asynchronously.Research implications -Considering its results, this study shows that programming courses delivered in higher education institutions could be delivered successfully through online learning, with asynchronous learning modality, and that faculty members can still intervene with students' learning to address questions and clarifications.
Purpose -This study was developed to describe the daily operations and encountered problems of the National Labor Relations Commission Regional Arbitration Branch No. IV (NLRC RAB IV) through conducted observations and interviews. These problems were addressed and analyzed to be the features of the developed web-based management information system (MIS) for cases.Method -The research methodology utilized in this project was the descriptive developmental approach. The Agile Software Development methodology was followed to develop the system. It was used to quickly produce the desired output while allowing the user to go back through phases without finishing the whole cycle.Results -The system covered managing filed complaints, Single-Entry Approach (SEnA), labor cases, and report generation. The findings, through the interview, of handling records were inconsistent and inaccurate. This study also focused on ensuring the Data Privacy Act of 2012, protecting the database's information using the XOR Cipher Algorithm. This study was evaluated using standard web evaluation criteria. Using the criteria, the study's overall mean was 4.27 and 4.43, with the descriptive meaning of Very Good, which showed that the system was accepted as perceived by experts and endusers, respectively. 1499 Conclusion -Management of filed cases is a vital process for the Commission. With that said, developing the web-based management information system could ease the internal operations of handling and managing filed labor cases. Moreover, respondents and complainants can easily determine their filed cases' status using the case status tracking system.Recommendations -For further improvements to the system, additional printable documents may be added that could be found needed by the Commission. Moreover, completion of the software development methodology may be done to complete the cycle. Lastly, further research about the effectiveness of the web-based system may be conducted for further enhancements of the system.Research Implications -Services of the Commission may be enhanced upon the implementation of the developed web-based management information system of filed cases. Additionally, offices will have ease of access with the provision of different user levels of access.
