Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate the use of the Student Information and Accounting System (SIAS) in school operations at Divine Word College of San Jose. The study employed an exploratory sequential design using a mixed method. In the qualitative phase, participants’ responses were analyzed, and three major themes emerged, describing the difficulties experienced in using SIAS: accessibility, connectivity, and speed. These themes served as the basis for developing the survey instrument used in the quantitative phase. Quantitative data were collected from SIAS users, comprising college students, faculty members, and administrative staff. To determine the reliability of the instrument, Cronbach’s alpha was applied. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26 for descriptive statistics and WarpPLS version 7.0 for Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed that, when reverse-coded, the overall extent of difficulties encountered by users was interpreted as high, indicating a high level of ease in system accessibility, connectivity, and speed. SIAS support for school operations was also interpreted as high in both system quality and school operational efficiency. Furthermore, the results showed that the difficulties encountered in using SIAS were significantly related to the quality and efficiency of school operations. Connectivity emerged as the most influential factor in school operations, while system speed significantly affected perceived system quality. The study recommended strengthening network connectivity, improving system processing speed, and enhancing back-end system stability to further the system’s support for academic and administrative operations.

Keywords: Student Information and Accounting System, accessibility, connectivity, speed, school operations
