Propose Title:

"Development of a QR Code-Based Android Application for Efficient

Real-Time Student Violation Tracking and Management"

Introduction

This capstone project proposes the development of a QR code-based Android

application for efficient real-time student violation tracking and management.
The project directly addresses the problem of inefficient and insecure student
disciplinary processes prevalent in many educational institutions. Currently,
many schools rely on manual, paper-based systems, leading to issues such as
data loss, inaccuracies, slow processing times, and security vulnerabilities.
This project leverages the field of information technology to create a more
efficient and secure solution, improving data management, enhancing
accountability, and streamlining the disciplinary process. The opportunity lies
in modernizing existing systems to improve both the effectiveness and fairness
of student discipline.

This research focuses on the development and implementation of a mobile

application for efficient and secure student violation tracking. The study falls
under the domain of mobile application development and database
management, encompassing several sub-fields within Information
Technology. Specifically, the research will investigate:

Android Application Development: The core methodology involves

designing, developing, and testing a functional Android application using
relevant programming languages (e.g., Java, Kotlin) and the Android Software
Development Kit (SDK). This includes UI/UX design considerations to ensure
user-friendliness and ease of navigation for both students and administrative
personnel.

Database Design and Management: A robust database system (e.g., SQL or

NoSQL) will be implemented to securely store and manage student data,
violation records, and associated information. The research will explore
optimal database design principles to ensure data integrity, efficiency, and
scalability.

Data Security and Privacy: Security protocols will be implemented to protect

sensitive student data, adhering to relevant privacy regulations. This includes
secure authentication, authorization, and data encryption techniques.

QR Code Integration: The application will leverage QR code technology for
efficient student identification and violation recording. The research will
evaluate the effectiveness and security of QR code integration within the
application's workflow.

Evaluation and Testing: Rigorous testing methodologies will be employed to

assess the application's functionality, usability, security, and overall
effectiveness in addressing the identified problem of inefficient and insecure
student violation tracking. The research will include both quantitative and
qualitative data collection and analysis to evaluate the impact of the
application on the existing system.

This research aims to contribute to the body of knowledge on mobile

application development within the educational context, specifically focusing
on improving efficiency and security in student discipline management.

This project addresses the inefficiency and security vulnerabilities inherent in

many schools' current manual, paper-based systems for tracking student
violations. The context is the need for a more modern, efficient, and secure
solution for managing student discipline. The opportunity lies in leveraging
mobile technology and database management to create a system that improves
data accuracy, accessibility, and security, while streamlining the disciplinary
process. The specific problems targeted are data loss, inaccuracies due to
manual entry, slow processing times, and the potential for misuse of student
identification information.

This section sets the stage for a capstone project proposal on a QR code-based
Android application for efficient real-time student violation tracking and
management at Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa (PLMun). The project
directly addresses the inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities inherent in
PLMun's current paper-based system for recording student violations. The
manual recording process leads to data loss, errors, slow processing, and
difficulties in retrieving, updating, and maintaining accurate records.
Furthermore, the lack of a robust digital solution allows for security breaches,
such as students using others' identities to avoid disciplinary action.

This QR code-based Android application aims to enhance the efficiency and

security of student violation tracking and management at PLMun by
automating the recording process, reducing manual data entry, and enabling
real-time data access for faster responses. It minimizes errors, ensures data
integrity through a centralized database, and strengthens security by
preventing unauthorized access and manipulation, with unique QR codes
linked to individual students for accountability. Additionally, the project
advances information technology in education by developing a user-friendly
 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MUNTINLUPA
mobile application that modernizes administrative processes and serves as a
model for other institutions. It also improves data management by providing
analytical tools for identifying trends in student violations, allowing for more
effective disciplinary measures. By addressing critical issues within PLMun’s
current system, this application will significantly enhance student discipline
management, contributing to a more secure and efficient learning
environment.

Problem Statement

The problem statement for this capstone project highlights the inefficiencies of
manual, paper-based student violation tracking at Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng
Muntinlupa (PLMun), which leads to significant challenges in accuracy,
security, and efficiency. The current system is time-consuming, prone to
errors, and makes retrieving and maintaining records difficult, resulting in
delays in disciplinary actions. Additionally, paper-based methods increase the
risk of data loss due to misplacement or damage, while manual entry errors
can lead to inaccurate records and unjust penalties. Security vulnerabilities
further compromise the system, as students can misuse another's ID number to
evade violations, leading to wrongful disciplinary actions against innocent
individuals. These issues collectively impact students, faculty, and
administrative staff, causing delays, inaccuracies, and potential legal
complications. A more efficient, accurate, and secure digital system is
necessary to modernize student violation management at PLMun.

Potential Impact and Benefits

The implementation of a QR code-based Android application for student

violation tracking and management at PLMun presents significant impacts and
benefits across multiple domains. Within the field of Information Technology,
the project introduces an innovative approach to educational administration by
leveraging mobile technology and QR codes to ensure efficient and secure
disciplinary record management. The shift from a manual, paper-based system
to a digital platform enhances data management practices, improving
accessibility, accuracy, and analytics capabilities. Furthermore, the system
strengthens security by incorporating unique QR codes and potential user
authentication to prevent unauthorized access and data manipulation, ensuring
the integrity of student violation records. The application directly benefits
various stakeholders, including students, faculty, administrative staff, and the
institution as a whole. Students will experience a fairer and more transparent
 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MUNTINLUPA
disciplinary process, reducing the likelihood of erroneous penalties due to
manual recording errors or identity misuse. Faculty members will benefit from
a streamlined process for reporting and monitoring violations, allowing for
quicker and more effective interventions. Administrative staff will find it
easier to analyze data, generate reports, and identify trends, enabling the
development of more strategic and informed disciplinary policies. For PLMun,
the adoption of this system enhances institutional efficiency, security, and
transparency, ultimately contributing to a safer and more productive learning
environment. Beyond immediate implementation, this project advances IT
applications in education, serving as a model for other academic institutions
seeking to modernize their student management systems. Future enhancements
could include automated notifications for students and parents, integration
with existing school platforms, and advanced data analytics features to predict
and address behavioral trends proactively. This initiative underscores the
potential of mobile technology in transforming educational administration,
paving the way for continuous improvements in student discipline
management.
