CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Monitoring is one of the great responsibilities of a teacher. This includes writing lesson plans, teaching lessons to his/her students, and recording the performance of the students. Teachers have a lot of things to do in everyday routine, due to this everyday task, they consume much time in doing paper works and preparing some devices as they are required to do, because they perform these tasks manually.
The researchers will create an automated monitoring and attendance system for students using barcode reader. Using the barcode reader, the teacher will have access to the profile of each student, which will be recognized by reading his or her identification card. At the same time, this system will send message to the parents to notify them that their child is within the school premises. Since the students will just put their ID’s direct to the barcode reader, the teacher will have no more hustle in monitoring the attendance of his/her students. Moreover, the school can assure the security of their students because it will recognize the attendance of each student. The parents are also assured of the presence of their child in school. There is a need to develop a new system because of the complaints of most of the teachers about their everyday tasks. The new system will provide an easier process for the teachers in monitoring the students and in notifying the parents through SMS. Therefore, the number of tasks to be done by teachers will be lessened. 2
1.2 Statement of the Problem
As we conduct an interview, teachers always complain about their difficulty in accomplishing manual tasks. As a result, they sometimes cannot finish their daily tasks
