Effectiveness of Social Media in Monitoring Cadets Performance on Shipboard Training in Selected Maritime Schools Using System Quality Metrics

The Shipboard Training in the selected Maritime Institution uses a distributed documentation partially manual process in monitoring the performance of the cadets that most likely causes the delay and inconsistency of reports.

The Department of Shipboard Training receives a summary of the report through Social Media Website.

introduction
The Shipboard Training in the selected Maritime Institution uses a distributed documentation partially manual process in monitoring the performance of the cadets that most likely causes the delay and inconsistency of reports.Their Department uses Cloud Based Application Performance Monitoring System in assessing/validating the reports on the performance of the cadets.The Shipboard Training receives a summary of the report through Social Media Website which most often received after the cadets have finished their training, coming from the different shipping companies and will be assessed in the said application.Each performance of the cadets is automatically recorded in Cloud Based Application Performance Monitoring System.In fact the result of performance of the cadets should be received during the training.Also, one of the major MOBO, Orient.J. Comp.Sci.& Technol., Vol.11(2) 103-106 (2018) reasons why there is a need to used a monitoring system is that, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) and Norwegian Ship owners Association (NSA), needs a real time report system 6,7,8,9,10.Technology nowadays is overwhelming that resulted to change faster from a stand-alone system to a web based technology which is capable of supporting almost all of the computerized transactions using Social Media Website.Most of the organizations have embraced technology and have developed exceptional online programs that provide easy access and massive communication.These maritime schools entirely take after the IMO model courses as proclaimed by the 1978 tradition on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for seafarers (STCW), as altered in 1995, and are the main ones permitted by our legislature to lead and regulate baccalaureate courses with 3-year scholastics in addition to 1 year managed shipboard apprenticeship for deck and motor cadets.The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) perceived and licensed these sea courses offered by appropriately approved scholarly establishments.On November 12, 1999, the CHED discharged the names of sea schools it considered to have passed the IMO-STCW benchmarks.This raised another contention on how CHED concocted their assessment convention.Beside true blue sea schools, there are sea preparing focuses that ought to be licensed by the Maritime Training Council (MTC).Both CHED and MTC screen the instructive environment without bounds world-class Filipino seafarers 1,2,3,4 .

Statement of the Problem
The study focused in obtaining the effectiveness of the social media in performance monitoring system of the 2 nd class midshipmen cadets in selected maritime institution in Region III using Social Media.
Specifically, the study sought to find answers to the following questions: • Is there a significant difference among the parameters across profile variables?• Is there a significant relationship among the parameters of the level of effectiveness of the social media?
Table 1 shows the regression analysis of the relations.If can be seen from the table that 5=0.31 which imlies a low positive relationship between profile and system quality metrics, also 31% of the profile had an effect to the SQM while 10% of the SQM re being affected or explained by the profile variables.Since F=3.66, sig=0.05,there is a significant relationship between the profile and SQM.This implies that profile variables has an effect to the System Quality Metric.

Salient Findings
The group according to school were compose of 63 or percentage of 36.4 cadets from Maritime School X; then PMMA with a frequency of 58 and percentage of 33.5 cadets ; lastly Maritime School X with frequency of 52 and percentage of 30.1 cadets in evaluating the effectiveness of social media in monitoring cadet's performance on shipboard.
There is a significant difference on the perception among the parameters on the levels of effectiveness of social media.

Conclusions
From the findings, the following conclusions which are binding on the respondents are arrived at: • That most of the respondents are from Maritime School X with a frequency of 63 and percentage of 36.4; then PMMA with a frequency of 58 and percentage of 33.5; lastly Maritime School Y with frequency of 52 and percentage of 30.1.This implies that majority of the respondents came from Maritime School X, and according to the initial survey of the researcher, Maritime School X have more enrollees than the other two schools.

•
Based on the results of the study, using Social Media on respondents' perception on the levels of effectiveness of the social media with regards to the following parameters perceives very effective.

•
That there is a difference on the perception of the respondents on System Quality Metrics when grouped according to the parameters across profile variables.

•
That there a significant relationship among the parameters of the level of effectiveness of the social media between profile variables that has an effect to the System Quality Metrics.

recommendations
In view of the findings and conclusions, the researcher would like to recommend the following: To his loving and supportive family and lovable honey, for their prayers, support and encouraging words.
To all his friends at Philippine Merchant Marine Academy, PMMA's 1 st Class Midshipmen Batch 2016, who had assisted in distributing the questionnaires.
And above all, to GOD ALMIGHTY, for showering me all the love, guidance and blessings.references
