Evaluation of Students’ Skills in Database Management Systems

Source abstract

This study evaluated students’ skills in Database Management Systems (DBMS) using their Continuous Assessment (C.A.) test scores as a measure of proficiency. The research aimed to assess students’ theoretical understanding and practical application of database concepts, including SQL, normalization, and data modeling. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected from undergraduate students enrolled in database-related courses. Results were analyzed and presented in tabular form, revealing moderate proficiency, with noticeable weaknesses in higher-level concepts like relational algebra and complex query formulation. The discussion highlighted the importance of bridging the gap between theoretical instruction and real-world application. The study concluded with recommendations for implementing projectbased learning and using digital tools to enhance teaching outcomes. These findings are expected to help educators and policymakers improve instructional strategies in database education.
