The Development of a Proposed Learning Management System for Senior High Schools in the Philippines

In the Philippines, one can find learning materials for various curriculum areas for all levels (Kindergarten up to Grade 10), which are already available online except for Grades 11 and Grade 12. This lack motivated the researchers to conduct the study that aimed to design and develop a learning management system (LMS) for senior high schools, specifically Grade 11, in selected regions in the Philippines. The study used the descriptive-survey method to acquire user requirements from 3072 stakeholders consisting of a cross-section of randomly sampled principals, teachers, and students. The researchers used the agile approach for the system development. The findings revealed that learning in senior high schools was done in large classrooms (according to the principals) that were not conducive to learning (as shared by the teachers). The students revealed that their teachers do not come to class prepared and do not make the lessons enjoyable. Based on the features desired by the principals, teachers, and students, an LMS is developed as the final output of the study. The study concludes that an LMS for senior high schools needs to be developed to make teaching and learning in senior high schools bearable, relevant, and ready for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The study recommends evaluating the designed LMS regarding acceptability, functionality, and scalability.
