Impact of Electronic Class Records on Faculty Productivity at the School of Engineering and Information Communication Technology

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether the School of Engineering and Information Communication Technology (SEICT) faculty at Universidad de Zamboanga is more effective when using the Electronic Grading System. Additionally, this was done to ascertain the drawbacks and benefits of using the Electronic Grading System (EGS) for students. This study used a survey questionnaire with self-assessment questions about efficiency (time, accuracy, and effort), user difficulties, and benefits of the tool. Sixteen professors took part in the investigation. The results of using frequency and % were as follows: Efficiency in terms of time, accuracy, and effort was demonstrated. Regarding time management, around 75.00% of people gave themselves extremely efficient ratings, 12.50% gave themselves efficient ratings, and 12.50% gave themselves ordinary ratings. Regarding accuracy, 18.75% of respondents gave themselves highly accurate ratings (no errors), 75% gave themselves accurate ratings (few errors), and 6.25% gave themselves an average grade (few more errors). 25% judged their effort levels as very efficient (no effort/at ease). The typical person reported being efficient (requiring less effort) at 6.25%. (with effort). Users using the Electronic Class Record (ECR) identified two issues: power outages (31.25%) and difficulty retrieving unsaved data (6.25%). The following are some benefits of using the electronic class record: accuracy (75%), less effort (100%), education (56.25%), increased systematicity (56.25%), and increased efficiency (81.25%) are all positives. The faculty's adoption of the Electronic Grading System is encouraged for efficiency. The faculty must be educated on the program's features to address users’ issues when using the electronic grading system. A seminar workshop could be planned for in-depth talks on using the electronic grading system. Researchers are encouraged to do a comparative study utilizing additional factors that affect how effectively people operate the computerized grading system.
