Abstract
Teachers no longer just teach in the classroom but are also compelled to provide reports required by DepEd personnel. The number of tasks to be done is increasing. Without tools and methodologies that can simplify these tasks, it can become a burden to teachers and may cause a problem. This study, funded by the Basic Education Research Fund of the DepEd, attempts to validate a researcher-developed system called Teacher Adviser Systematic Kit (TASK) that can be used by teachers. The methodology of this study involved a systematic tool validation process and tool application using the Guidelines for the Development and Validation of Spreadsheets by Peter M. Esch following the OECD Principles of GLP from an Article in The Quality Assurance Journal 2010. The TASK was subjected to the different steps in the qualification process, which include Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ). The researchers also used a descriptive qualitative approach to know the respondent’s point of view on the usefulness of the TASK. Respondents strongly agree that the TASK is an effective tool in the efficient and simplified preparation of DepEd school forms that are prepared by the advisers at the end of the quarter and can contribute to the improved and simplified work for teachers.
