INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Caritas
University, Amorji Nike, Enugu, is a private University approved by the Federal
Government of Nigeria on December 16 2004. It was officially opened on January
21, 2005 by the Federal Ministry for Education, Prof. Fabian Osuji. The formal
opening was on January 31, 2005. The pioneer students of 250 matriculated on
May 28, 2005 in beautiful ceremony that attracted dignitaries both church and
state. It is the second Catholic University in Nigeria founded by Rev. Fr.
Prof. Emmanuel Paul Mathew Edeh Cssp, OFR. Although he founded the school, the
proprietor of the University is the Congregation of Sisters the Saviour, a
religious Congregation of Nuns founded by him.
The
vision of Caritas University is to rescue some of our wandering and teaming
youths from further slide into academic and moral decay, and development and
transformation of our society through sound and adulterated education. Its
mission is to discover, sanctify and apply the knowledge of science,
environmental and engineering for human well-being and sound development of man
for better society.
Caritas
University’s goal is to give efficacy to the University’s motto and to its
philosophy of education. We embrace not only sound education for professional
skills and competency in various fields; but also maintain strict discipline.
We train the mind, body, soul and spirit in the exercise of obedience and self
control. The students must not only be intellectually and professionally
prepared for different tasks and roles in the world, they must also be morally
equipped to face the world itself with all its tensions, conflicts, challenges
and contradictions. We achieve this with the help of God Almighty who is with
us always.
The
philosophy is to promote sound education for professional skills and
competencies in various fields with strict discipline. By discipline the
University meant the training of the mind, body and soul and spirit to
obedience and self control. Also to prepare the students to be intellectually
and professionally sound for different tasks and roles in the word with its
tensions, conflicts, challenges and contradictions.
The
University operates faculty system. Presently, the University operates six
faculties: Education and Arts, Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Management,
Social Sciences and Natural Sciences.
1.2 DEFINITION
A Computer-Based Result Management Information System (CBRMIS) is
a set of software programs that is designed to control the institution’s
(practically using CARITAS UNIVERSITY), storage,
management, and retrieval of data (RESULT) in a database.
CBRMISs are categorized according to their data structures or types. The CBRMIS
accepts requests for data from an application program and instructs the operating system
to transfer the appropriate data. The queries
and responses must be submitted and received according to a format that
conforms to one or more applicable protocols. When a CBRMIS is used, information systems can be changed much more
easily as the organization's information requirements change. Use of manual
imputation of result is discarded and new categories of data can be added to
the database so easily without disruption to the existing system.
A database management system provides the ability for many
different users to share data and process resources. But as there can be many different
users, there are many different database needs. The question now is: How can a
single, unified database meet the differing requirement of so many users?
As
this study entails using a different form of database management in connection
with organizational result computation and assessment. This brings about the
use of computer-based result management information system (CBRMIS).
Before
the database management approach, the institution relied on the manual method
of data processing and storage. Each file was specialized to be used with a
specific application. Needless to say, file processing was bulky, costly and
nonflexible when it came to supplying needed data accurately and promptly.
This
study therefore, examines clearly the effect of the computer-based result
management information system (CBRMIS) towards the development of CARITAS
UNIVERSITY.
1.3 OBJECTIVES
OF THE STUDY
Since
this study is specifically to use the physical view to make efficient use of storage and
processing resources, therefore, the objective of this study includes the
following;
1. To
help in facilitating generation of ad hoc query.
2. To
ensure reliability and transparency in the creation and computation of results
3. To
present a platform for assessment of the performance of the students and workers
in other to help develop enabling policy for academic quality and standard.
4. To
prevent unauthorized access or mutilation of the results of the students
thereby maintaining data integrity.
5. To
help the users of the result database software (RDS) to manage the overall
database environment by providing facilities for backup and recovery, security
management, query optimization, concurrency control, and change management.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
significance of this study is to examine closely the advantage of this result
application to the benefit of Caritas University and the entire community.
1. It
will serve as a reference material to those who use this project material.
2. It
is a contribution to knowledge
3. It
will provide information to other researchers/developers on how best and
beneficial the use of a management information system can be in providing
accurate information for an organization’s decision making.
4. It
will ensure high level quality service development of the management which will
ensure that students are not subjected to undue suffering in collection of
their transcript or clearance prior to the deployment for youth service.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
scope of this study is an integrated study on the use of a Computer-based
Result Management Information System (CBRMIS) a case of Caritas University.
1.6 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Realizing
the financial and time constraints usually associated with students in project
of this nature, there is no research carried out that does not experience some
difficulties. This work is no exception; the following factors posed serious
limitations to the research work.
Financial constraints:
a study like this nature is expected to be carried out on a broader base but
because of lack of funds required, some function and programs could not be
applied.
Time constraint: in
the course of the study, time posed a serious problem in carrying out the test.
The duration given for the conduct of this study was short.
Non-availability of
materials: during the course of this research, there
were non-availability of some critical documents and materials which were
classified as confidential.
Non-availability of Exit:
because
of the nature of the school as a private university, Permission to go out was
not always granted and this posed a serious problem towards the actualization
of this goal.
1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS/VARIABLES
