ABSTRACT
Student achievement is profoundly influenced by the evaluation
practice used by teachers in the classroom. Research in education
has consistently shown achievement monitoring and feedback to be
extremely important factors in the teaching learning process. This
project is designed with the help of computer base program that
has five sub systems: the file sub system that helps the
administrator to change their password and also register new
students, compute result sub system which is where all the student
results are recorded and save to data base, and report sub system,
where students profile, results and the number of students in the
school can be viewed. All this helps classroom teachers with direct
support to classroom instruction with information on good
classroom evaluation practices with daughters of divine love
juniorate secondary school as a case study. This program was
achieved with the help of visual basic 6.0 and Microsoft access
database.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Evaluation of student achievement is a crucial and pervasive issue of
concern in every classroom. Traditional evaluation activities were used to
certify or promote students. Currently, evaluation is recognized, as a
comprehensive process not just something that occurs only at the end of
some learning episode, it is an integral part of the teaching learning process.
Evaluation activities provide information for the identification of student’s
performances, a basis for the assessment of teaching strategies and data for
important decision regarding corrective or enrichment activities.
If a classroom is to function effectively, a well planned system of evaluation
is essential. Without such plan, it will be difficult to determine the ability of
students and to decide which methods of instruction are most appropriate for
a particular class or group of students.
School Structure
Daughters of divine love juniorate school is a female private school, it was
founded in 1969 at Ihiala in Anambra state, by the late Bishop Godsfrey
Mary Paul Okonye, then Bishop of port Harcourt. The number of students
that were enrolled in 1969 is seven with about four members of the staff,
including the principal.
15
The school was later moved to Isienu Nsuka in the 1976, the second campus
of the junior ate was started in Enugu which is the head quarters of the
congregation with its first principal as Sr .M. Chizoba Eke.The junior ate
school made its first external examination in the year 1972. Daughters of
divine love comprise both the junior secondary and the senior secondary
sections and runs a six year formal education programme. Each of the 6
classes is made up of either 2 or 3 or 4 streams depending on the size of the
class. Because of the nature of the school which informs it’s home:
Daughters of divine love junior ate, equal attention, more or less, is giving to
both the academic and character formation of the students.
Administration and Staff
The administrative structure of the school comprises the principal, two vice
principal (Academic & Administration, School Bursar, Matron, Dean of
Studies, Heads of Department, Form Teachers and other teachers. The
tutorial staff strength of the school is forty – three permanent teachers and
seven part-time teachers. These teachers are qualified. The non academic
staff section comprises about thirty workers mainly non-professionals. The
motto of the school is “FAITH AND LOVE”
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Education is concerned with the integral formation of students. Hence, it
should be directed toward their physical emotion, social, moral, intellectual
and spiritual development.
16
Any system of evaluation has to be based on who students are and how they
know and act as learners. The following principles of evaluation should be
evident from the philosophy. These are:
1 Evaluation takes it direction from a definition education which stated
in it’s broadcast since is to enable student to realize their potentials as
human beings
2 Evaluations involve teacher’s judgment.
3 Evaluation is an integral part of the teaching learning process.
4 Students and education program.
5 Students should play an active role in their evaluation.
6 Evaluation procedure should take into consideration individual
difference among students.
7 Evaluation procedure is important for the guidance of individual
students.
However, it should be noted that the main purpose of evaluation is to
determine the extent to which student have archived the intended outcome of
the education program. There evaluation must be student centered where it
process and subsequent decisions reflect a genuine concern for the interest of
each student.
17
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The main aim of this project is to provide an information tracking system
along with evaluation system for evaluating students based on written
examination, thus providing the positions for every student and to eradicate
the problems uncounted in education environment that are timed consuming
in the file system.
The design system holds the following features over the previous manual
system.
1. Enhanced easy retrieval and access to records.
2. Highly secured student results.
3. Accuracy of result processing
4. Accurate report for decision making by the school management.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
This project will provide basis for developing a planned system of
evaluation for the school academic staffs.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This project is centered on student academic performance for daughters of
divine love juniorate secondary school. This project was implemented to
show the scores and total average of each student at the end of academic
year, and also help to keep proper record of student data. This helps the
18
teachers to know the students that are not performing well, so that they can
help them to improve in the subjects they are lagging behind.
1.6 LIMITATIONS
The result can be altered by any individual that has access to the software.
No individual can be able to access the result without the aid of the teacher
of that particular class.
1.7 PROJECT REPORT ORGANIZATION
The project has different chapters, from one to five which will explain the
various aspects of the system.
The first chapter gives an introduction of the project along with the project
aims and objectives, scope and limitations of the study.
Chapter two is an overview of the literature review.
Chapter three is the details of the system analysis and design and the major
components used.
Chapter four deals with the implementation and the testing. This chapter
contains the major world of the project.
Chapter five recommendations and conclusion of the project work on
student Evolution.
