Development of the Low Cost Classroom Response System Using Test-Driven Development Approach and Analysis of the Adaptive Capability of Students Using Sequential Minimal Optimization Algorithm

摘要

This study discussed the development of the low cost student response using open-source frameworks which supports agile interaction design to address most of the Classroom Response System's problems such as the limited input capabilities as well as the cost of the infrastructure, subscription, and equipment which does not compromise the accuracy of the transfer of data. This development also benefit schools in some rural areas with limited access of Internet as well as the students with sufficient connection to the Internet to avoid high risk of distraction. To ensure the expected output of each unit, Test-Driven Development approach was performed in each unit feature in the backend development of the system. Further, surveys were conducted in grade 8 and grade 12 students to identify the percentage of students who are willing and able to adapt the CRS technology in their studies. Classification result shows that 73.5632 % answered that they are willing to adapt the CRS technology in their classroom. However, 47.83% in the remaining 26.44% have expertise and advanced knowledge in technology while the remaining 37% to the 26.44% are familiars and can only perform basic functionality of computer. Further, statistical result have identified the factors that correlate the student's preferences in using CRS.
