Abstract

This paper sought to establish a requirement for automated interface design for student-parent interaction while in secondary boarding school.  The study was confined to public boarding secondary schools in Rachuonyo South Sub-County, in Kenya. A survey methodology and stratified sampling technique with a sample size of 330 students, 178 parents, and 8 teaching staff were used to come up with appropriate data for research. Cochran equation formula was used to determine the sample size. The data collected were descriptively and inferentially analyzed using SPSS and ms-excel applications. The findings from the data analysis and interpretation showed that a bigger percentage of students use mobile phones to interact with their parents despite the ministry’s ban. Students’ problems were categorized into three as per the research findings. The categories were social, academic and financial problems. Each category had a list of problems designed as a dropdown menu. This paper incorporated the ideas of the proponents of the Gestalt theoretical grid.
