Abstract :
This online graduate tracer study is mainly a
survey anticipated to trace graduates and to test the level
of efficacy of the developed system. To obtain the
information needed an adopted questionnaire from the
Surigao del Sur State University (SDSSU)-Research
office was utilized. The instrument used to evaluate the
level of efficacy was the 19-item modified questionnaire
from an online GTS.
The study endeavored to trace the BSCS
graduatesof Surigao del Sur State University, Tandag
Campus in order to measure the employability rate and
to test the level of efficacy of an Online Graduate Tracer
System.
Convenience sampling technique was used to
identify the number of respondents, since only those
graduates available online and has completed the survey
information were counted as respondents. Cochran’s
formula was used in computing the sample size, the
researcher used a margin of error of 8.55% with 95%
confidence interval. Now, to get the sample size for each
year, the researcher used proportional allocation.
Results revealed that out of 100 respondents, 79 or
79% of respondents were employed and 21% were
unemployed. As to the level of efficiency of the
developed system it was found “very efficient” both on
the effectiveness of the system as whole and user design/
interface of the system. Therefore, there is need to
upgrade the process of tracing graduates from manual to
an online process. This is the very reason of developing a
system that is simple, reliable, easy to use and
inexpensive in order to have an updated graduates
information.
