Abstract

This study focused on the development of GUIDECO: Guidance and Counseling Information Management System for Nasugbu East Senior High School. The goal was to enhance the efficiency of guidance and counseling services by addressing issues in manual data management, inefficient scheduling, and limited student support tools. A descriptive developmental research design was used, alongside the Agile methodology for system development. Data were collected from 69 respondents, including the principal, guidance counselor, teachers, security guards, students, and IT experts, through surveys and system evaluations. Key findings showed that GUIDECO streamlined processes, improved data accuracy, and enhanced user experiences. Users reported high levels of acceptance and satisfaction with the system's features, ease of use, functionality, usability, and reliability. The study concluded that GUIDECO effectively improved the management of guidance and counseling services, supported better student engagement, and boosted overall operational efficiency within the school.
