Earthquake Readiness Analysis of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila Students Using Simulation Application

Despite the Philippines being recognized as a major need for enhanced disaster education and evacuation planning in every community, the ongoing pandemic has made it more difficult for institutions to execute required evacuation drills. As a result of a lack of repetition and participant involvement during mandatory earthquake simulations, participants overlook which routes are designated for evacuation and do not establish a lasting understanding of necessary procedures. Technology and gaming aspects may be used to simulate disasters for educational purposes. The Earthquake Simulation Application, which is based on a model of the structures around the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, was tested on a group of university students to confirm that the system complies with the standards outlined in ISO 25010. The purpose of the Earthquake Simulation Application created in this study is to advise students of the appropriate actions to take during and after an earthquake. To prevent unfavorable results, there are features that inform users of what constitutes incorrect behavior. This earthquake application repeatedly simulates the events that occur during an earthquake to support the retention of correct evacuation routes. Most responders who got earthquake simulation application instructions were able to fail the procedure at least once, but few were able to complete it. It was established that the earthquake simulation program was exceptional in terms of both functional stability and usability, as well as performance

Performance evaluation of random forest algorithm for automating classification of mathematics question items

Automated classification of mathematics question items based on the Table of Specifications is crucial in developing well-defined assessment content, significantly reducing teachers’ workload. This study presents a performance evaluation of a Random Forest model designed to classify mathematics question items based on the content standards of the first quarter of tenth grade stipulated by the Philippines’ Department of Education Curriculum Guide. The model uses an algorithm that extracts mathematical expressions as tokens for the Bag-of-words Model. The evaluation was conducted using precision, recall, F-1 score, and overall accuracy metrics, and the confusion matrix was used to assess the Random Forest model’s performance. The results showed that the Random Forest model achieved 95% in precision, 95% in recall, 95% in F-1 score, and 95% in overall accuracy, demonstrating its effectiveness in classifying mathematics question items

A Short Message Service (SMS) Based Inquiry System

The arduous tasks of the registrars cause them to overlook undergraduates that inquires in their office – may it be subject deficiencies or requirements. In this study, the researchers developed a software application that can automatically cater inquiries of a student’s status if they have any impending deficiency, and to be able to message students about the precise time of the document’s completion that they have requested. The evaluation result is calculated using Cronbach's Alpha, which displays a value of 0.9053, equivalent to excellent. The ? is determined with the use of the calculated mean of functional sustainability (4.03), reliability (3.88), performance efficiency (3.80), usability (4.03), and security (3.82). The result shows that the system is operational and possesses a quick response that highly benefits the students and the registrar’s office
