INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the study
As computer technology is rapidly changing our world, it has permitted man not only
store his knowledge, but to organize, manipulate, and modify it systematically.
Organizations nowadays are adapting to office automation systems. Most schools use
automated systems to lessen their work and minimize their problems in their system, and
ACT(Asian College of Technology) is one of the school that is would like to adapt
computerization for a more productive output.
Yet, there are still problems that the school can not avoid such as storing of the
student’s records in their scholarship programs. Some files are inevitably misplaced or lost
because of the manual recording process.
Because of the problems the personnel had encountered, the researchers are proposing
a study entitled “Automated Recording and Monitoring System of Public Servant Scholarship
Grant Program in ACT” which claims to suggest full automation of their current manual system
especially in the storing the files of the student records.
Theoretical Background of the study
Role of the Information Technology to society
Since time immemorial, people are looking for ways that can enhance the quality
of life and make things easier. Technology is the most powerful change agent in
society. It is defined as the technical means people use to improve their surroundings.
It is knowledge of using tools and machines to do task efficiently.
Information Technology or IT, is hailed as one of the most strategic and
pervasive technologies. Advances in IT have been accelerating at an unparallel face in
history and will continue to radically transform the world and how society operates in
the future with these advances, we are rapidly becoming an information society where
“knowledge workers” depend on computer-generated information to accomplish their
jobs.
In this case, these transformations have devastating effects on our society
