This document contains responses to assessment tasks (AT) for a capstone project. It discusses: - Ms. Barrinuevo conducting research by collecting data on students' calculus grades and programming skills. - Two proposed capstone project titles: a GIS system to track COVID cases, and an inventory/sales website for a paint store. - Significance of study only being required for computer science theses on foundations, not IT/IS capstones. - The difference between a statement of the problem (interrogative) and objectives (declarative). - Purpose/description focusing on a project's function, while significance aims to contribute to the field of computer science.

CHAPTER 1 ASSESSMENT TASK (AT)


Answer the following accordingly:
1. Ms. Bonicha Barrinuevo is an Assistant Professor of TABAKO University teaching
under the College of Computing. From her 10 years of experience in teaching
programming, she became curious if the basic calculus grade of a basic education
graduate under the K to 12curriculum under the Science, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics (STEM) Strand has something to do with their programming skills.
So, in her class, CC 102–Programming Fundamentals, she asked her students their
final grade in basic [Link] the end of the semester, she correlates the basic
calculus grade of her students to their final grades in CC 102.
Does Ms. Barrinuevo conduct a research or a design? Explain your answer.

Yes, Ms. Barrinuevo has gathered a data about calculus for her students of
TABAKO UNIVESITY she become curious because it’s her first time to teach under
the K to 12curriculum from her 10 years of experience in teaching. She asked her
student about their final grade in basic calculus has something to do with their
programming. Therefor Ms. Barrinuevo did a research to improve and more
effectively to their subject.

2. Formulate two (2) thesis/capstone project title you plan to propose.

GIS System for Contagious Places Affected by COVID-19

The GIS System for Contagious Places Affected by Covid will be used in tracking
places with most Covid-positive cases in a specific area. This can aid better
visualization, understanding, and response planning for decision-makers in a rapidly
changing environment
Ordering INVENTORY AND SALES MONITORING OF SUN AND
Bloom PAINT CENTER Description:
This is a website of Sun and Bloom Paint Center. A website which is included here
the inventory and the Point of Sales. Inventory control solutions that integrate all
aspects of an organization’s inventory tasks, including shipping, purchasing,
receiving, warehouse storage, turnover, tracking, and reordering.

CHAPTER 2

1. The significance of the study is required only in computer science theses dealing
with foundation in computer science and should not be required in IT and IS
capstone projects. Give the rationale.

CHEDs suggested template for thesis / capstone project, Significance of the study is
only included in Computer Science concerning foundation of computer science.
Other topics in computer science as well as those of capstone projects require
Purpose and Description.

2. Explain the significant and relevant distinction of statement of the problem and
objectives of the project

Either Statement of the Problem or Objectives of the Project is required in any thesis
and / or Capstone Project. The only difference between the Statement of the
Problem and Objective of the Project is that the former is written in interrogative form
while the latter is written in declarative form.

3. Differentiate Purpose and Description against Significance of the Study.


The Purpose and Description as part of the outline for Capstone Project as well as
that of a Computer Science thesis involving software development thesis is similar
but not identical to Significance of the Study of a Computer Science thesis involving
foundation of Computer Science the significance of the study aims to add to the
body of knowledge and provide contribution to the field of computer science, while in
writing purpose and description, the proponent must statethe function of his
Capstone Project. It should noty attempt to claim that the project will add to the body
of knowledge.

Common questions

Powered by AI

'Purpose and Description' specify the function and applicability of the capstone project, guiding practical implementation without claims of theoretical advancement. In contrast, 'Significance of the Study' is intended to articulate how a project contributes to the broader field of knowledge, reflecting a more academic focus on adding to the theoretical body as seen in thesis work .

If Ms. Barrinuevo finds a strong correlation between basic calculus grades and programming skills, it could suggest a need to integrate more mathematical foundation into programming curricula to build on students' strengths. It might also lead to differentiated teaching approaches for students with varying levels of mathematical proficiency, thereby enhancing the overall efficacy of STEM education under the K to 12 program .

Real-time data integration is crucial for giving decision-makers timely access to current disease spread patterns, facilitating rapid response interventions. Challenges might include ensuring data accuracy, maintaining privacy standards, managing large data volumes, and achieving interoperability across various health data systems. Addressing connectivity and user accessibility issues also presents implementation hurdles .

When selecting capstone project topics, it is important to prioritize relevance to current industry trends, potential for practical application, and alignment with academic goals such as demonstrating comprehensive understanding and skill application in the field. Additionally, topics should show innovation potential and feasibility given the timeframe and resources. This ensures the project is academically rigorous while practically beneficial .

'Significance of the Study' is included in computer science theses as it relates to adding knowledge to the field, particularly in foundational areas. Meanwhile, IT and IS capstone projects focus more on practical application, emphasizing 'Purpose and Description,' which articulate the function rather than claiming to expand the theoretical knowledge base .

Integrating mathematical prerequisites in programming courses could bolster students' analytical skills, aiding complex problem-solving tasks common in programming. This alignment with learning objectives can enhance students' capability to manage algorithmic thinking and logical reasoning, which are crucial for programming proficiency. It might lead to more structured curriculum pathways and potentially higher achievement in computing disciplines .

The proposed GIS System should enable visualization of COVID-19 hotspots to facilitate timely response strategies, thus supporting effective interventions in containment efforts. To be effective, it should prioritize real-time data integration, user-friendly interface for ease of use by non-technical healthcare personnel, and predictive modeling tools to forecast potential outbreak scenarios. These functionalities aid decision-makers in visualizing scenarios and planning effective resource allocation .

The inventory and sales monitoring system can streamline operations by providing real-time tracking of inventory levels, automating reorder processes, and reducing stock outages or overstock situations. This integration across purchasing, sales, and inventory tasks can enhance decision-making, optimize inventory turns, and ultimately improve customer satisfaction and business profitability .

The 'Statement of the Problem' is framed in an interrogative form, posing questions that need to be addressed, which helps identify specific issues for investigation. In contrast, the 'Objectives of the Project' are listed in declarative form, laying out what the project intends to achieve. This difference reflects two approaches: one is focused on exploring questions to guide investigation, and the other establishes clear targets that guide the project's execution .

Ms. Barrinuevo aimed to determine if there is a correlation between students' performance in basic calculus and their programming skills, as judged by their grades in CC 102 – Programming Fundamentals. Her activity qualifies as research because she systematically gathered data to investigate her hypothesis and improve the effectiveness of her teaching methods in the context of the K to 12 curriculum. She was exploring a potential relationship, characteristic of research rather than design .
