Development and Assessment of Alternative Learning System Learners’ Performance Tracker

Ruth Emeterio | Francis Kenneth Canono

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The main purpose of this study was to develop and assess the Alternative Learning System (ALS) learners’ performance tracker for the teachers in Davao del Norte. It aimed to propose an intervention program based on the acceptability of the developed system. The researcher employed the quantitative approach, specifically the descriptive research design guided by the Agile software development process model. The study involved 155 Alternative Learning System teachers and implementers from the Division of Davao del Norte, specifically in the Municipality of Sto. Tomas. Through a methodical design, the newly developed tracker includes key features and capabilities such as the Dashboard, Files tab, Student Selection page, Student Data page, Least Learned Competencies page, Learner Score Sheet tab, and Feedback page. Furthermore, this investigation used the adapted survey questionnaire with three indicators: perceived utility, ease of use, and perceived impact. Statistical tools such as mean and standard deviation were used to analyze data. The final analysis revealed that the level of acceptability of the alternative learning system learners’ performance tracker is very high. Furthermore, it was revealed that the teachers had very high perceived utility, ease of use, and perceived impact. The findings imply that the performance tracker has strong potential for widespread adoption, as its design and functionality effectively support teachers in enhancing student assessment and instructional decision-making.
