DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR MONITORING VIOLATIONS AND GOOD BEHAVIOR AT SMP IT ALBASHIROH

Abstract

The monitoring process of student`s violations and kindness at the SMP IT Al Bashiroh Islamic Boarding School dormitory is currently conducted manually by recording data on small forms that are prone to loss or damage. This leads to several issues, such as delays in data recapitulation, lack of integrated information accessible to authorized in imposing sancations. Futhermore, transparency issues arise as parents lack access to up to date information to monitor student`s behavioral progress. This research applies the User-Centered Design method as a system development framework. UCD is defined as an iterative process in which designers focus on users and their needs at every design phase. This approach aims to create products with optimal usability and user experience through a combination of collaborative techniques and direct user feedback. This research was conducted at SMPIT Al Bashiroh, a boarding school in Malang Regency. To understand and determine the needs of system users, interviews were conducted with several actors directly involved in the system and direct on-site observations were conducted. The technologies used in building this application include the PHP programming language with MySQL as the database management system. The result of this research is a system capable of recording violation and kindness data, preforming automatic point calcultions, and providing structured daily, weekly, and monthly reports. Based on the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) results, the system achieved an average score of 96%. This indicates that the designed monitoring application is highly feasible and effective in supporting the administrative process and disciplinary oversight at SMP IT Al Bashiroh.
