ABSTRACT
This study aimed to determine whether the application helped the
Senior High School Technical Vocational Livelihood - Information and
Communications Technology (TVL-ICT) from Pila Senior High School
students learn and gave satisfaction for them to have better studying habits,
as well as for Information and Communications Technology specialists at the
College of Computer Studies at Laguna State Polytechnic University Main
Campus to determine whether the app is effective for the users to use.
The main instruments used in this research were self-made
questionnaires. The data gathered using these instruments was statistically
treated through the mean, Standard Deviation, and T-Test: Two-Sample
Assuming Equal Variances. The set of information was gathered through the
application of StudyWise, and the responses of the students were taken using
a face-to-face survey.
Based on the data analyzed, it was revealed that the students and
specialists’ levels of acceptability were all remarked as "strongly agree" and
interpreted as "highly acceptable" in the application's content, design, error
handling, functionality, and navigation.
Based on the findings and conclusions drawn from this study, the
researchers would like to recommend the following: 1.) App developers who
are planning to implement a system comparable to this one should improve
the system's design, content, functionality, error handling, and navigation.
They can also add system security for the user’s privacy and increase its
viii
accessibility. So, it can function normally on other operating systems such as
IOS and more. 2.) It is good for students to read the full context to fully
understand the programming lessons. This can also help them recall or do
advance reading about the lessons. 3.) Teachers should have a good internet
connection to access the quizzes and programming tutorial videos and teach
them to the students. This can help further their knowledge of programming.
4.) Future researchers should add more features and advanced lessons to
the system. Thus, programming might be more engaging, and more students
would look forward to it.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
In the twenty-first century, the value of education cannot be overstated.
Education has always been significant and is present everywhere.
Additionally, it is present in technology. Smartphones have ingrained
themselves into everyone's lives, but students especially. One indication that
these devices are improving people's lives is the quick rise in the production
and sale of cell phones. Another advantage of the cell phone is the number of
apps that are provided. Following the start of the pandemic, the number of
apps for communicating, chatting, having fun, and learning also started to rise
in all app stores. Students who are currently studying have used a number of
applications since the lockdown began.
Zoe Karabatzaki et al. (2018) contends that a lot of things in our daily
lives, including education, may be made better by technology. Evidence
suggests that it improves learning outcomes and student engagement. With
recent improvements in the functionality of smart mobile devices and their
rising rate of adoption among the student population, it is now possible to
make use of these devices to develop relevant exercises and tools that
support students' knowledge and learning.
The aim of this study is to prove that educational mobile
applications are effectively helping students bring out their hidden skills in
education. and to know the impact of these applications on the learners using
2
them. As a result, the researchers conducted research about the
effectiveness of educational applications and would be creating an application
for students, specifically the students at Pila Senior High School.
Background of the Study
Technology has a hugely transformative effect on humans. Most student
nowadays rely on digital devices and applications for educational and
entertainment purposes because students find studying digitally to be easier
and faster than traditional methods. Some students struggle to learn simply
by hearing what the teacher says. Some students sometimes get bored and
needed additional lectures to learn. Also, when unique learning instruments
are used, learners are more interested in studying.
This study aimed to help students who were struggling in school by
developing a combination of offline and online smartphone applications.
Students can read and learn wherever they are, and they can study outside
without worrying about a lack of internet access because all lectures and
lessons are available to read offline. However, if students want to assess
what they've learned, researchers have added a quiz website link inside the
application with a set of questions covering all the lessons. Taking a quiz also
requires a small amount of data. It is advantageous to develop this type of
application so that they can address their shortcomings and learn from their
studies. Furthermore, this application would make studying more enjoyable
and effective because it includes music that the user can play and listen to
while studying. If students need a break, they can read quotes and memes.
Researchers also include YouTube links that they can watch to gain a better
3
understanding of the lessons. Furthermore, the purpose of this study was to
provide students with a tool that would encourage or motivate them in their
studies.
Researchers may learn about the app's level of acceptability from this
study. in terms of design, content, error handling, functionality, and navigation
This study is being conducted because some students lack sufficient
knowledge of ICT, or information and communications technology, and its
specialization. Also, because some students find studying boring, researchers
include features that students will enjoy and find interesting. This would also
serve as a review for upcoming ICT students in grades 11 and 12. This would
additionally help fill in some information gaps and help with their chosen
course. This offline application assisted learners in gaining knowledge and
receiving tips about their chosen course at any time and from any location.
Theoretical Framework
In the textbook “Theoretical Models for Teaching and Research” about
E Learning theory, Haixia He (2020) explained that E-Learning Theory is
about designing educational technology used to promote effective learning by
reducing extraneous cognitive load and managing germane and intrinsic
loads at students’ appropriate levels.
According to David P. (2015), E-learning Theory is built on cognitive
science principles that demonstrate how the use and design of educational
technology can enhance effective learning. The theory was developed from a
set of principles created based on Cognitive Load Theory.

4
David (2015) also stated that Cognitive Load Theory is "the amount of
mental effort involved in working memory" during a task and can be
categorized into germane, intrinsic, and extraneous effort.
E-learning theory belongs to the grand theory of connectivism because
it emphasizes how technologies can be used and designed to create new
learning opportunities and promote effective learning.
According to Hernández de Frutos (2018), connectivism theory refers
to the knowledge that emerges in the network from the interaction within a
group. As stated in the principles of connectivism, individuals acquire
information through modern day reservoirs of information. Currently, there are
three major reservoirs where individuals can acquire information: (a) online
classrooms 5 including massive open online courses (MOOCs), (b) social
networks including podcasts and video clips, and (c) virtual reality platforms,
including ‘Second Life’ and 3-dimensional video games.
Connectivism is a conceptual framework which views learning as a
network phenomenon influenced by technology and socialization. It is claimed
to have roots in principles explored by chaos, network and complexity and
self-organization theories. Downes (2012) asserts it is also supported by
connectionism, associationism and graph theory.
According to the book entitled “Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy”,
Associationism is a theory that connects learning to thought based on
principles of the organism’s causal history. The fact that associationism can
serve a variety of masters contributes to its popularity. Associationism can be

5
employed as a theory of thinking, a theory of mental structures, a theory of
learning, and a theory of how thought is implemented.
According to Olaf Sporns (2022), graph theory influences all scientific
fields as well as numerous contemporary information and computing
technologies. Since the brain can easily be represented as a network (a
graph) of elements and their pairwise connections, commonly known as
nodes and edges, graph theory approaches are a good fit for studying the
brain. The growing subject of connectomics, whose focus is the systematic
and quantitative study of brain networks and graphs, has been sparked by
comprehensive maps of brain connection.
In a study, theories are heavily considered because they can provide
insight and new information. The study of system development is explained
and supported by these theories. The grand theory of connectivism is the
knowledge that develops in group interaction. It is backed by associationism,
which links knowledge based on the history of casual organisms, and graph
theory, in which elements are represented as a network (a graph) with
pairwise connections between them. Connectivism is composed of two
theories: the E-learning Theory which promotes effective learning by
managing cognitive load, and the Cognitive Load Theory which is the amount
of working memory. The E-Learning Theory is the suitable theory for this
study because it is about the promotion of technology for effective learning.
Hence, using these theories, the researchers identified the intended
learning evaluation outcome. In addition, it became the basis of what the

6
importance of online learning is for students, which helped in the end of this
research.
Conceptual Framework

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter contains different literature and studies from range of
researchers, both local and international.
Related Literature
Internet usage has increased dramatically and swiftly during the past
ten years. Websites have become the most important venue for public
communication for the vast majority, if not all, of businesses and
organizations.
According to Jatinder Manhas (2017), a variety of web engineering and
multimedia application disciplines are involved in application creation, and
each requires a different skill set and approach to development. During the
implementation design phase, the models of a conceptual design are
transformed into an abstract language so that computers can easily
understand them. In a specific computer language, the implementation
design's results must be documented at the time of implementation.
Poorly designed websites may annoy visitors and have a high "bounce
rate," or the percentage of visitors who only view the home page before
leaving the site (J Commun Media Technol. 2016).
Garett, Chiu, Zhang, and Young (2016) highlight the seven elements
that are widely referred to in studies for high-quality and successful mobile
applications and website design in their literature review, "Website Design
and User Engagement." A well-designed, incredibly user-friendly website has

12
a positive effect on client engagement and behavior. Navigation, graphic
representation, organization, content usefulness, purpose, simplicity, and
readability were the seven website design elements that were covered.
Additionally, designers and researchers may be able to choose and abide by
best practices for boosting or predicting user involvement by looking at how
studies defined and evaluated these seven components.
According to the "Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics, Fifth
Edition," Chapter 39 with the title "Website Design and Evaluation" by Vu,
Protoc, and Hung (2021), A terrible website design might frustrate users,
while a good one can give it an advantage over competitors. An enhanced
website's usability should result in better user engagement. Throughout the
development cycle, websites should be developed and tested for usability. It
is also important that the website be managed to keep up so that it may
continue to offer correct and accurate information and be very pleasant to
use. Web designers should be knowledgeable of the trends and open-minded
to exploring the new possibilities as new technologies continue to develop
and the world is always changing.
According to Kalpana D. and Kumar S. (2016), A bad website will turn
users away and degrade the organization's reputation. A website's quality
determines how successful, user-friendly, and accessible it is, as well as how
much relevant information it gives. A high-quality website also has good
design and a pleasing aesthetic that meets the demands and expectations of
its visitors. They thoroughly investigate the primary quality components for
13
websites in order to identify the critical high-level quality characteristics, sub-
characteristics, and criteria. This helps them develop their new evaluation
framework. Usability, reliability, functionality, content, and presentation are
characteristics of these high-level quality attributes.
When creating an academic website, the content is the category that
visitors should pay the most attention to because it contains reliable
information and is current and relevant.
According to Huizingh (2012), "content quality" relates to the value of
the knowledge made available by the website and demonstrates the
significance of information, commerce, and entertainment in web content. The
content and the design can be divided into two separate components to form
the website architecture. The latter is made up of navigational functions,
research functions, and perceptual contents such as visuals, style, and
graphic design, while the former suggests commercial information and
functionalities that improve the product space.
According to Kristina Halvorson (2016), the planning, production,
delivery, and governance of content are the main topics of content strategy.
Content includes not only the written text on the website but also any images
and other forms of multimedia. To enhance a website's user experience, it is
essential to have relevant, useable information that is well-structured and
easy to find.
According to Taylor Gemma et al. (2022), The educational potential of
apps might be increased by app creators taking further steps to encourage

14
creative app usage, adapt content to a child's performance, and influence
social interactions with characters in their apps.
According to Antonelli Karla et al. (2021), With regard to accuracy,
age-appropriateness, and relevancy, experts evaluated and validated the
content and provided ratings and suggestions.
According to Rizwana Biviji et al. (2021), Users favor applications that
are affordable, ideally free, have excellent content, superior features,
advanced technological capabilities, and user-friendly interfaces. Users
consider responsiveness on the part of app developers to be essential since it
gives them a chance to participate in the process of developing and delivering
apps.
According to Jiang et al. (2020), error-managing code is frequently
critical, but it is difficult to test in practice. As a result, many difficult-to-find
bugs exist in error handling code, which can cause serious security issues
when triggered. Fuzzing has recently become a popular technique for locating
software bugs. Fuzzing techniques mutate and/or generate a variety of inputs
to cover rarely executed code. Existing fuzzing approaches, however, are
very limited in testing error handling code because some of this code can only
be triggered by random errors (such as insufficient memory and network
connection failures) rather than specific inputs. As a result, existing fuzzing
approaches in general cannot test such error-handling code effectively.
Every organization encounter errors. Most errors are easily corrected,
but some may have negative consequences. Organizations frequently treat

15
error prevention as a standalone strategy for dealing with errors. According to
our findings, error prevention should be supplemented by error management
—a strategy for effectively dealing with errors after they have occurred, to
minimize negative consequences and maximize positive ones (examples of
the latter are learning and innovation). Following the definition of errors and
related concepts, we examine research on error-related processes influenced
by error
management (error detection, damage control). (Frese, M., & Keith, N.
(2015)).
The Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education
(AACE) develops an innovative app to help teachers administer running
records assessments and investigates teachers' perceptions of its
functionality and usability in real-world classrooms. The app includes features
such as multi-level running records assessments, student profile
management, database support, and analysis of reading behavior patterns.
When compared to paper-based running records assessment, the app can
not only assist teachers in identifying reading behaviors and the types of
cuing systems a student has used, but it can also improve their teaching
efficiency by identifying patterns of common errors and designing follow-up
instructions. Ling, Wang (2021)
Existing online judging systems are incapable of providing effective
feedback on logical programming errors. As a result, instructors and teaching
assistants are still overburdened with the task of assisting students in

16
repairing programs, which is especially difficult for novice students. To
address the issue, the International Educational Data the Mining Society
developed "PIPE," a deep learning model capable of predicting logging errors
in student programs. The model seamlessly integrates a representational
learning model for obtaining a program's latent feature and a multi-label
classification model for predicting the error types in the program, allowing for
end-to-end learning and prediction. We train PIPE using C programs
submitted to our online judging system and show its superior performance
over baseline models. We use PIPE to implement the error
feedback feature in online judging system and provide automated feedback to
students on logical programming. errors. Miao et al. (2020).
According to Carnegie Mellon University, managing access to digital
information that is shared, such as photographs and documents, is difficult for
end users who have a growing and diverse collection of data that they want to
share with others. When a user wants to review or change her access-control
policy, she must go out of her way to find and open a separate policy-
management interface. However, end users regard access control as a
secondary task and rarely visit a website to manage security. Participants
who saw more comprehensive and easily glanced-at proximity displays were
better able to identify access-control policy errors. This thesis is concerned
with determining the effect of proximity displays on people's permission-
modification behavior. The displays were designed after interviews with end
users and security administrators revealed a need for increased end-user

17
awareness of their policies. People liked the idea of showing permission
information near data, according to focus groups. Vaniea, Kami (2012).
In the book Building and Environment by Pritoni et al. (2017),
technologies that offer prospects for household energy management have
become more prevalent recently, but it's unclear how successfully the
technology will be able to generate energy savings or demand-shifting
advantages as it is currently being developed. To pinpoint significant
variations in terms of functionality and quality, the current study analyzes 308
home energy management (HEM) products.
According to Lee Guan Chuan (2015), the popularity of applications
can be examined using application traffic analyzers like Alexa, Google
Analytics, etc. The popularity of a particular application may indicate a
broader trend in web usage, although it can be challenging to make that
determination. The objective of this project is to develop an application that
automatically groups websites on the internet into one of several categories
and displays how each category's level of popularity varies over time. A better
understanding of online usage trends is envisaged with the help of the
program.
Website and application development, according to Jatinder Manhas
(2017), involves a range of web engineering and multimedia application
disciplines, each requiring a certain skill set and development approach. The
use of conventional web development techniques leads to the construction of
online applications with poor user interfaces, a high failure rate, and not very
18
consistent performance across different browser platforms.
They are both necessary for software to work together; neither can be
effectively used on its own. As a result, one of the most crucial factors is now
the software's quality. The most crucial element in determining how well
technical or commercial systems perform, Masrina A. Salleh et al. (2017)
Gao et al. (2014) defined mobile software testing as a set of operations
carried out on mobile apps utilizing certain software testing techniques and
tools to confirm their functioning.
According to the book Intellectual Teamwork, written by Edwin
Hutchins (2014), an NSF-funded research and development initiative called
Experimental Research on Electronic Submission (EXPRES) aims to design
an architecture for a future information technology environment that can
enable the electronic creation, submission, and review of research proposals.
The foundation of contemporary science and engineering is collaborative
work. Most empirical sciences are studied by groups of researchers rather
than individuals. Typically, challenges at the cutting edge of science and
technology are best handled by interdisciplinary teams. The popular MacDraw
application is comparable to how the UM EXPRES graphics editor works. The
de facto standard for so-called page description languages is PostScript. It is
a language for expressing the unique data required to generate formatted
output on a machine like a printer.
As stated in the CEAS space journal 10, (2018), the Mission Design
and Navigation Software Group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory developed

19
the Mission Analysis, Operations, and Navigation Toolkit Environment
(MONTE) (Sunseri et al. in NASA Tech Briefs 36(9), 2012). It offers an all-
encompassing integrated environment for deep space and Earth-orbiting
mission stages. Trajectory analysis and optimization, operational orbit
determination, flight path control, and 2D and 3D visualization are some of the
capabilities. The user is given the option to import Monte as a Python
language module. This enables a straightforward yet effective user interface
via script or CLUI. Additionally, thanks to the Python interface, MONTE can
work effortlessly with other well-known scientific programming languages like
SciPy, NumPy, and Matplotlib. The primary operational orbit determination
tool for the entire JPL is MONTE. All JPL-guided missions use MONTE as
their primary operational orbit determination software.
Based on the 2019 International Science and Technology Conference,
mobile technologies are utilized for navigation, information storage, and
communication. The experience of creating a smartphone application for
interior navigation on the campus of Kemerovo State University is described
in the article. A BLE beacon is used in indoor navigation, which is based on
Bluetooth technology. The paper discusses the algorithm for determining the
number of BLE beacons and their practical placement within a building. The
algorithm measures the strength of the received signal. Trilateration and the
Kalman filter are its foundations.
According to the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies
(2021), this suggests a comprehensive technological acceptance model to

20
analyze the variables influencing drivers' intentions to use mobile navigational
services. To the original technological acceptance model based on the
functions of mobile navigation applications, the suggested model adds three
new constructs (drivers' sense of direction, navigation application affinity, and
distraction perception).
According to the 2019 international conference on robotics and
automation, visual-inertial navigation systems (VINS) have prevailed in a
variety of applications, from mobile augmented reality to aerial navigation to
autonomous driving, as inertial and visual sensors become more widely used.
This is in part due to the complementary sensing capabilities and the
declining costs and size of the sensors. In the hope of advancing VINS
research and beyond in our society, we thoroughly review the research efforts
made in this area and work to provide a succinct but comprehensive review of
the related work, which is sadly lacking in the literature but urgently needed
by researchers and engineers.
System development has its own set of principles that contribute to the
app's effectiveness. These principles guide the system's content, design,
functionality, error handling, and navigation. It helps us develop our system by
relying on these traits. Related literature uses usability to determine the
success of their systems. Since we have a similar study, these academic
articles help identify gaps in making applications and what might happen if
our system has poor characteristics or quality. It also helps in creating an
excellent application.

The thesis "Web Design for iMind" investigated the concept of
designing the appearance and producing mock-ups for the website, iMind,
with high-end users in mind. To address the issue of responsive web design,
the design will comprise three different design variants: different content and
layout for various screen sizes (desktop, tablet, and mobile phones). Fanny
Vainionpää (2014) concluded that the commissioner should keep the front
page straightforward, have cut text that only highlights the most important
points, and possibly think about combining the company's homepage and the
product page into one place for convenience.
According to Madsen and Talstoi (2018), design principles are crucial
when creating websites since they encourage visitor trust and give them a
pleasing appearance. They studied the value of design principles and the
extent to which they affect websites. The following principles—accessibility,
operability, simplicity, aesthetic pleasantness, availability, clarity, consistency,
control, safety, efficiency, familiarity, flexibility, obviousness, predictability,
directness, forgiveness, immersion, recovery, responsiveness, and
transparency—give a fundamental understanding of each. These principles
are general characteristics of the interface, and they apply to all aspects.
(Wilbert O. Galitz, n.d.) It also concluded that users are significantly
influenced by design ideas. Mostly because they gain visitors' trust and thus
encourage them to stay. There are numerous aspects that affect design
principles, and if they are used, they will aid web developers in creating
22
websites that look professional and leave users with pleasant impressions.
However, the result would be terrible if design principles weren't considered.
In the study of Karmaseh (2012), it explores the usage of the WSDM
method, which stands for Web Semantic Design Method (WSDM). It is a
technique for creating websites that makes use of models to precisely explain
the informational, conceptual, and functional architecture of the websites. The
authors gathered design patterns for four distinct website genres, including
business, social network, news, and e-commerce websites. Each of these
website genres offers a model that outlines the many design patterns utilized
for that genre, specifies which patterns are required and which are optional,
and conveys links and dependencies between the various design patterns.
Bordbar (2016) concluded that selecting appropriate graphics has the
dual benefit of effectively communicating the intended information to the
people as well as forming an emotional bond with the audience. Web page
readers are drawn to and engaged by interesting, provocative, and appealing
images and photos, and this helps authors create strong emotional
connections with their audience. Also, the overuse of visuals and dispersed
information on university websites, regardless of how aesthetically pleasing
and attention-grabbing they may appear to be, can easily mislead potential
students, and cause them to lose interest. It is essential to maintain a
straightforward design with the right usage of
imagery and important data that is organized and simple to discover in order
to draw in potential students and support recruitment efforts.

23
In the study of Yawen Yu (2016), "A study of the color selection
workflow of web design students" is to comprehend the resources, previous
experiences, and/or ideas that go into web design students' color picking
workflow. It tries to look at the patterns and actions that the study's web
design participants take. The various stages of the design process that web
designers go through the four observed modes that have emerged are
planning, inspiration, development, and refined search. The participant
examines the layout and decides how they might handle a makeover while in
planning mode. An open-ended search is what the inspiration mode consists
of. Although they might not know exactly what they're seeking, the participant
nonetheless searches. In the digital development mode, participants can
engage with an Adobe Illustrator website mockup. This includes rearranging
already-existing elements or adding new elements. Usually, refinement in
search comes after creative development and technological advancement.
According to the study of Ortega-Arranz, Alejandro (2014), mobile
games and applications have evolved into crucial components of the modern
world. Games and apps for mobile devices should modify and update their
content. As a result, content suppliers have a crucial role to play.
According to the study of Armaghan Montazami (2022), one prominent
channel for delivering educational content to kids is educational apps.
Knowing how parents pick apps for their kids and being aware of the qualities
of a good educational app are crucial since well-made applications may assist
and improve kids' learning.

24
According to the study of Montes Gallardo (2022), given the
abundance of applications accessible and easy access to them, mobile apps
constitute a resource with significant potential for fostering the development of
various skills. A study of the applications is crucial for a group with such
specific demands since, given their characteristics, they must offer content,
design, and pedagogical elements that meet those needs.
According to the study of Stamatios Papadakis (2022), interactive
touchscreen gadgets are becoming common among young children, and
toddlers use them for the first time before the age of two. Parents play a
crucial role in creating the home environment that serves as a stimulus for
growth, but they have differing opinions on whether utilizing apps to offer
educational content is suitable for a variety of reasons.
According to the study of Klimova and Blanka (2019), due to its many
advantages, including accessibility to learning information from any location,
customization of the content to meet the requirements of students, and
prompt feedback, mobile learning is an approach that has gained widespread
acceptance.
Constructive error handling is regarded as an important factor in
individual learning processes. In a quasi-experimental study with students in
Grades 6–9, we investigated the effects on students' attitudes toward errors
as learning opportunities under two conditions: an error-tolerant classroom
culture and the first condition with additional teaching of error-analysis
strategies. Our findings show that an error-tolerant classroom culture has a

25
positive affective impact, whereas cognitive support has no effect on
students. There is no evidence of differential effects for student groups with
different attitudes toward errors. Rach et al. (2013)
This study presents a database management system-independent
categorization of SQL query errors made by students in an introductory
database course and based on previous literature, present a class of logical
errors that has not been thoroughly studied, and review and supplement
these findings by analyzing over 33,000 queries were submitted by students.
Analysis confirms previous research findings and identifies new types
of errors, namely logical errors that repeat in similar ways among different
students. We present a list of fundamental SQL query concepts on which our
exercises are based, as well as a categorization of various errors and
complications and an operational model for designing SQL exercises.
Taipalus et al. (2018)
The findings of "An Investigation of High School Students' Errors in
Introductory Programming: A Data-Driven Approach" revealed that these
common errors accounted for a large proportion of all errors, indicating that
identifying the common errors is critical to assisting students in introductory
programming courses. Five underlying student difficulties were identified and
discussed based on these common errors. Furthermore, after analyzing
existing measures of students' error-related behaviors, we developed an
improvement rate measure to quantify students' success in fixing errors. Our

26
findings suggest that students' ability to improve code is critical to their
success in introductory programming. Qian et al. (2020)
According to Heinsen Egan et al., 2021, An evaluation of seeC
discovered that students used the tool's runtime error detection and execution
trace reviewing features to find and investigate bugs during their coursework.
Even students with no prior experience with the tool were able to use it
effectively for set debugging tasks with little to no assistance. Students liked
the tool but suggested a few changes to the user interface. Implications:
Novice-focused program visualization and debugging tools for the C
programming language can assist students with complex debugging tasks
encountered during regular coursework. Simple, user-friendly interfaces are
important for such tools and may encourage their use.
In this study, the researchers gave debugging exercises to 6th–8th
grade students and observed how they solved problems in a programming
game called BOTS. They identified student behaviors in relation to problem-
solving stages and correlated these behaviors with prior student programming
experience and performance, which differed from previous literature. In their
programming game, they discovered that debugging required more
understanding than writing new codes. They also discovered that students'
problem-solving behaviors were significantly correlated with the quality of
their self-explanations, the number of code edits, and prior programming
experience. This study improved their understanding of younger students'
problem-solving behavior and provided actionable recommendations for

27
future debugging exercises in BOTS and similar environments. Liu et al.

The effectiveness of learning difference programs in independent
secondary schools was examined in this study, as was any potential for
development that would aid students with learning differences in defining
success. This research sought to ascertain if secondary independent schools
should offer programming for students with learning disabilities and, if so, how
such a program might be developed by taking a close look at an existing
curriculum. Stephen J. Stunder (2018)
According to R. Hürten (2019), software's functionality is the sum of all
the results it generates. If the software is viewed as a closed system, all
groupings of information delivered to the user that crosses the system border
are the results.
The purpose of application software, according to T. Diaz (2022), is to
instruct the computer on how to carry out human orders. System software is
necessary for computer users to complete their tasks.
According to J. Ewen (2019), studies indicate that the correct balance
between minimalism and sufficient features must be struck while designing an
app with functionality in mind. Some folks will make an effort to add a variety
of dazzling features to their program. Users may become distracted by too
many options, making it difficult for them to locate crucial information.
According to the study by Harry (2022), application software programs
are precise in their functioning and carry out the task for which they were
28
created. Every application's main objective is to make a task easier for users
to complete and a process simpler.
According to the study conducted by the EAI International Conference
on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good (2018), this paper
introduces the UniBS4All project, which aims to create an accessible urban
university campus by creating systems and procedures. A smartphone app
with the name "UniBS4All" can also advise individualized routes to and inside
the buildings of the University of Brescia. Based on the user's disabilities
(motor disability and/or vision impairment) and mode of movement
(pedestrian, driving, or taking public transportation), the software specifically
suggests a navigation path, which is a way to avoid architectural barriers. The
software uses the Google Maps API and the Google Directions API to
compute the pathways that are customized to the users' attributes and
preferences.
According to the author, Anusha Sanampudi, of the International
Journal of Basic Science Application Computer (2020), "the main goal of our
paper is to develop a mobile indoor navigation application for a store that
enables customers to search for a product and directs them to the specific
aisle where the product is located." This makes it possible for the application
to be context- and location-aware.
Navigation systems are necessary to aid with navigation, indoor
placement, and so on, according to the authors Prashant Verma, Kushal
Agrawal, and V. Sarasvathi in the Proceedings of the 2020 4th International

29
Conference on Virtual and Augmented Reality Simulations (2020). Navigation
is still better in an outdoor setting than it is in an intricate indoor setting. In this
research project, we have concentrated on developing an indoor navigation
app that uses augmented reality to help people navigate large buildings. We
have also created a cloud platform (content management system) from which
the building administrator can manage and modify the navigation path.
According to the study proposed by Xin Hui Ng and Woan Ning Lim in
the International Symposium on Multidisciplinary Studies and Innovative
Technologies (2020), most modern commercial navigation programs use
GPS-based navigation technologies. However, its performance when used for
interior navigation is less than that of an outdoor situation. A lot of the
research and development done on indoor navigation technology involves
installing additional hardware, which typically comes with a significant setup
cost. To choose the best indoor positioning, pathfinding, and route guidance
methods for an indoor navigation approach, studies and comparisons were
conducted. The goal of this project is to demonstrate an easy-to-use, low-cost
indoor navigation system.
According to Reynaldo E. Castillo, Paula Jean M. Castro, Maria
Christina R. Aragon, and Henry C. Macugay of the International Journal of
Computer and Communication Engineering (2018), unawareness of the
school's facilities causes frequent issues for new students or visitors. They
frequently get lost on campus and are late for meetings or classes. They use
their own navigation systems and consult security experts, yet they
30
nevertheless frequently take longer to arrive at their destination or get lost.
New students and guests should complete this study. Through a mobile
application, it aids them in exploring and navigating the university grounds.
The smartphone application is a navigational aid for moving around the
school's campus. To evaluate the functionality, dependability, and efficiency
of the mobile application, surveys were conducted using a questioner adapted
from ISO 25010. It was determined that the mobile application is a useful tool
for providing its users with campus information and navigation.
These related studies serve as the foundation for our research study,
and because we gain insight into the methodologies and approaches
employed by past researchers, our research is built on existing knowledge.
Since we are designing an application for students, we based our system on
these principles, which allow us to design a system that is both quality and
usable. This also assists us in determining what is crucial while developing an
application and what will help or be required to improve it. These principles
have been found in related studies, making them relevant to our research.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter outlines the research design, the respondents of the
study, the sampling technique used by the researcher, the description of the
instruments required for data collection, the method for carrying out this
research, and the statistical analysis that will be used to analyze the data.
Research Design
The methods to be used to collect and analyze the necessary data, as
well as how all of this will be used to respond to the research question, are all
determined by the research design. (Grey, 2014).
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) will be applied in the
study utilizing the waterfall methodology. There are five stages, during which
each stage has its project plan and depends on information from the stage
before it.
In the planning phase, the researchers started to brainstorm what
current issues or problems they could use for their study as ICT students.
Then they think of a title that fits their chosen topic.
During the analysis phase, the researchers searched and gathered
data that could be used to start the mobile application. They also looked for
potential crafting guides as well as what gadgets were available for
developing.
Following planning and analysis, the system design phase is when the
developers consider the hardware and software requirements for completing

32
the project. They made the decision to use Java as the programming
language.
In the implementation phase, the developers were aware of the
required software, hardware, and specifications. Now, they will implement or
begin coding. They will put the system design into code and execute the
project plan to complete the project.
For the last phase, maintenance, the developers will check if there are
any errors in their code or if something is wrong with the system. After that,
they'll go use or test it, and if they encounter something wrong with the
system, they'll fix it right away. To ensure longevity, they will improve and
modify the software application.
The progression through the phases can be seen to be in order,
flowing downward like a waterfall. There is no way to go back to the previous
phase; the next phase only starts once the previous phases have been
completed.

Respondents of the Study
The respondents of the study were composed of SHS TVL-ICT
students, which include grades 11 and 12 at Pila Senior High School, and
randomly selected ICT specialists at Laguna State Polytechnic University
Main Campus, for an overall total of fifty (50) respondents.
Sampling Technique
According to Kelly (2010), purposive sampling is used to select
respondents that are most likely to yield appropriate and useful information
(Palinkas et al., 2015). It is also a method of identifying and selecting cases
that will make efficient use of the limited research resources available.
Wherein the researchers chose this sampling because the purpose of their
research was only involved with ICT.
Research Procedures
Figure 3. Gantt Chart
When the research started, the researchers planned and considered
potential titles for their research proposal. It was "StudyWise: An Engaging

34
App and Educational Tool for Students" that they decided on, and they then
looked at the issue that would make their research useful. The gathering of
information that could serve as the basis for their paper's introduction was
then completed. They must first address a title defense or proposal before
finishing Chapters 1-3 to ascertain whether their title is appropriate for
modern issues. They waited until it was checked and approved, at which point
they started working on the said application to be made, after which Chapters
1–3 had already begun to be completed.
If it is officially approved by the research adviser, Ms. A-Janlique C.
Baltazar, and the ICT major teacher, Ms. Rio Leongson, the researchers will
begin collecting data on the said respondents at the conclusion of the
previous three chapters of the research paper and the start of the application
to test for any defects.
Once all the data and information needed have been gathered, they
will be level-checked based on the content, design, error handling,
functionality, and navigation of the application until the problems and
questions are resolved.
Research Instrument
The instruments used in this study were questionnaires constructed by
researchers. The questionnaire includes questions about variables related to
the researchers' application. Thereby also, to avoid guesswork and obtain
reliable data and information, respondents will be drawn from the selected
Laguna University. The researchers are employing a Likert scale rating with a
35
four-point response scale so that respondents can provide an alternative
answer.
Likert scale:
Use for the level of acceptability of the application among students in
terms of content, design, error handling, functionality, and navigation.

Statistical Treatment of Data
In SOP Number 1, researchers will use a narrative report to state the
steps in creating StudyWise: An Engaging App and Educational Tool for
Students in terms of using an app.
After gathering the data, the researchers will use the mean and
standard deviation to measure the level of acceptability of the application
among ICT students and specialists in terms of content, design, error
handling, functionality, and navigation in the statement of SOP Number 2.
In SOP Number 3, the researchers use the T-test for two independent
samples to determine the significant difference in the level of acceptability
among ICT students and specialists in terms of content, design, error
handling, functionality, and navigation.

Chapter 4

of the system's content.
The statistical results in The Level of Acceptability of the Application
Among Students and Teachers in Terms of Content are all remarks strongly
agree, which indicate the study's respondents have no problems and are
pleased with the app's content. It also indicates that the respondents are also
interested in the individuals who invented or developed the app, as perceived
by the statistics.
According to Antonelli Karla et al. (2021), in terms of accuracy, age-
appropriateness, and relevance, experts evaluated and validated the content
and offered ratings and recommendations. Whereas this study helped users
engage effectively and gave them the chance to conveniently get the
important information they needed to understand, particularly in a particular
subject.

design of the application.
The respondents to the studies have no issues with the overall designs
of the apps, as evidenced by the statistics that all the statements made in The
Level of Acceptability of the Application Among Students and Teachers in
Terms of Design are strongly agreed upon. This indicates that they have no
issues with the fonts, symbols, or the overall design. This implies the
respondents had an overall positive assessment of the application's design.
The authors of "Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics, Fifth
Edition," Vu, Protoc, and Hung (2021), state in Chapter 39, "Website Design
and Evaluation," that while a poor design may frustrate users, a good one
may give it an edge over rivals.

Application among Students and Teachers in Terms of Error-Handling was
“Highly Acceptable”. This implies the respondents had an overall positive
assessment of the application's error-handling.
The results of the statistics in The Level of Acceptability of the
Application among Students and Teachers in terms of Error-Handling all
remarks strongly agree, which implies that the respondents of the study have
no issue with the routines of the app program that respond to abnormal input
or conditions. Additionally, the statement "There are no broken links, pages,
images, or videos." has the highest mean in both teachers and students,
which means that the respondents conclude that there are no troubleshooting
or errors in opening links.
Error-managing code is frequently crucial, but it is challenging to test in
real-world settings, according to Jiang et al. (2020). Error handling code
consequently contains many hard-to-find bugs that, when exploited, can lead
43
to significant security issues. But in this case, in our study, the users did not
find any defect in the application that resulted in good feedback from the
users, especially the students.

can navigate the application, find the information they need, and complete a
transaction.

analyze the variables influencing drivers' intentions to use mobile navigational
services. To the original technological acceptance model based on the
functions of mobile navigation applications.
Table 6. Test of Difference on Application Qualities between Students

and Teachers
*Significant at α=0.05
The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether there is a
statistically significant difference between the qualities that teachers and
students use in terms of content, design, error handling, functionality, and
navigation. The researchers' data collection was statistically processed using
the T-test for Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances, and the results were
electronically computed with the Data Analysis Tool.
As shown in Table 6, the computed p-values between application
qualities among students and teachers in terms of error-handling (p = 0.005),
functionality (p = 0.023) and navigation (p = 0.029) are lower than the level of
significance (α = 0.05).
48
On the other hand, the computed p-value between application qualities
among students and teachers in terms of content (p = 0.061) and design (p =
0.159) is higher than the level of significance (α = 0.05).
The results indicate that the majority of the p-values are statistically
significant; hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. Therefore, there is a
significant difference between the application qualities of students and
teachers as perceived by the respondents.
Reviewing the inferential statistics reveals a significant difference in the
levels of acceptability between teachers and students for StudyWise: An
Engaging App and Educational Tool for ICT Students.
The researchers used this as one of their bases for determining the
level of application acceptance between teachers and students. They
discovered that there is a visible difference in the level of acceptability since
both roles have a different function after involving these two people in the
testing of their application.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents a summary of the research, a generalization of
the findings, a conclusion for the research, and a recommendation for the
solution of the problem that was discovered in the formulated development
study.
Summary
The researchers came up with this study, entitled "StudyWise: An
Engaging App and Educational Tools for ICT Students," to determine the
effectiveness and level of acceptability of the application among students and
teachers. The application was tested by the teachers at the College of
Computer Studies at LSPU Main Campus and the students of Pila Senior
High School. to ascertain whether StudyWise is acceptable in terms of
content, design, error handling, functionality, and navigation.
When developing the application, the researchers adhered to the
various phases of the system development life cycle (SDLC). The
researchers used the SDLC, which is a step-by-step process, during the
analysis and design of the application. The researchers did as instruct and
gathered the required studies and surveys to gather data for the application's
development, which was then further fine-tuned through trial and error.
Based on the data analyzed, the following findings were made: First,
the level of acceptability of the application among students and teachers in

50
terms of content was highly acceptable. This implies the respondents had an
overall positive assessment of the application's content.
Second, the level of acceptability of the application among students
and teachers in terms of design was highly acceptable. This implies the
respondents had an overall positive assessment of the application's design.
Third, the level of acceptability of the application among students and
teachers in terms of error handling was highly acceptable. This implies the
respondents had an overall positive assessment of the application's error-
handling.
Fourth, the level of acceptability of the application among students and
teachers in terms of functionality was highly acceptable. This implies the
respondents had an overall positive assessment of the application's
functionality.
Lastly, the level of acceptability of the application among students and
teachers in terms of navigation was highly acceptable. This implies the
respondents had an overall positive assessment of the application's
navigation.
Conclusion
In view of the aforementioned findings, the study had drawn the
following conclusions: The hypothesis stating that there is no significant
difference in the level of acceptability of StudyWise among ICT students and
specialists in terms of content, design, error handling, functionality, and
navigation was rejected. Further, the qualities of StudyWise significantly

51
affected the acceptability of students and specialists based on the gathered
data, resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis.
Recommendations
Based on the findings and conclusions drawn from this study, the
researcher would like to recommend the following:
1. App developers who are planning to implement a system comparable
to this one should improve the system's design, content, functionality,
error handling, and navigation. They can also add system security for
the user’s privacy and increase its accessibility. So, it can function
normally on other operating systems such as IOS and more.
2. It is good for students to read the full context to fully understand the
programming lessons. This can also help them recall or do advance
reading about the lessons.
3. Teachers should have a good internet connection to access the
quizzes and programming tutorial videos and teach them to the
students. This can help further their knowledge of programming.
1. Future researchers should add more features and advanced lessons to
the system. Thus, programming might be more engaging, and more
students would look forward to it.

Figure 4. Home Page Flowchart
In the system flowchart, the user has access to the Studywise app's
stored data. In this stored data, the user can see the minor features—
messages, quotes, a quiz, YouTube links, and a mini game—as well as the
major lessons—the Grade 11 Java Lesson, which consists of ten (10) series
of lessons, and the Grade 12 Python Lesson, which consists of nine (9) series
of lessons.
73
Figure 5. Lesson Page Flowchart
The user has access to the grade 11 lessons, which consist of 11 Java
lessons, and the grade 12 lessons, which consist of 9 Python lessons, for a
total of 20 lessons. Each lesson is distributed on different buttons, and the
user can choose which lesson they want to click on and read.
APPENDIX F
RESEARCH MANUAL
By the StudyWise App, ICT students can now study, review, and
advance read about programming lessons. They can now read some quotes
and memes relating to their strand, as well as play a game. Students can also
gain more knowledge by watching online programming lesson videos. They
can also take an online quiz that covers the entire lesson they read.
74
