Evaluating the Learner Information System of the Department of Education Schools Division of Sagay City: A Technology Impact Assessment

Abstract

The accelerated adoption of digital systems in Philippine basic education has reshaped administrative processes, particularly learner data management and reporting. This study evaluates the Learner Information System (LIS)—a nationwide web-based platform implemented by the Department of Education, Schools Division of Sagay City—for enrollment, tracking, and centralized record management. Guided by Information Systems theories (TAM, UTAUT, TTF, DeLone & McLean), it examines perceived environmental, social, economic, health, and risk impacts in a localized context.
A descriptive-evaluative design involved 320 teaching/non-teaching personnel via stratified random sampling (78% response rate). The PTM 607 questionnaire showed strong reliability (Cronbach’s α = .79–.91 per domain; overall α = .91) and construct validity (EFA: KMO = .89, loadings .62–.88). Analyses included descriptive statistics, t-tests for subgroups (school level, connectivity, roles), regression for predictors (role, years of service, connectivity), and sensitivity checks for Likert cutoffs. Triangulation used open-ended responses and system logs (uptime, transactions).
