Abstract:

In the present, there are a lot of students enrolled in colleges and universities without really knowing if that course they take is fitted to their capacity and skills. There are also students who have been dropped out and shifted in a university and colleges, by the reason that some students enrolled in college taking the course influenced by their parents and friends; some are enrolled because they liked the course. With regard to the identified scenarios, the researchers decided to develop a Web-based application for assisting the student’s selection of higher education degree through a form of an interest test. This web based application will be able to help students know what colleges and universities are offering their suggested courses (based on their interest test result) within Davao City. Following the research design used by the researchers, several activities were conducted to somehow solve the identified problem through the development of the web based application integrating Interest Test. After a series of testing with the developed application, testers and target users of the system majority agreed the usability and efficiency of the project. As a result, Guidance office administrators suggested the full blown deployment of the system attributing to the success of the project.
