Abstract: This Action Research is a change initiative to improve the performance of the division by

achieving the performance targets set by the higher office. The Development of an Integrated

Database Management Information System (IDMIS) automates the manual storage and

consolidation of information by the different units in the Division of Talisay City. It would generate

relevant, updated, and timely reports with less time and personnel involved. It would also generate

Basic Educational Statistics that would be a basis for training, hiring, procurement, development of

instructional materials and intervention programs. Survey Questionnaire and Focused Group

Discussions would be used to determine whether the IDMS would have contributed to the

improvement of the performance of the Division. The development would be done in two stages, stage

one would be assessing the Division’s database and information management needs and stage two

would be developing the database and electronic information management system. The output, the

systems software, would generate reports that would provide the Schools Division Superintendent,

School Heads, Teachers, Students, Parents, Local Officials, National Officials, and other

stakeholders relevant, timely, and updated information needed in making interventions for the

improvement of the delivery of quality basic education. IDMS would be a powerful tool to manage

the Division’s information resources throughout their entire life cycle. Implementation would be a

complex task and would mean implementing new office practices and changing the way division staff

works. It will transform the division – the way people work and the way information assets are

managed. It is highly recommended that budget allocation be prioritize for adoption in all schools.
