Design of A Web-Based Teacher and Staff Attendance Information System at SD Negeri Laituta

Abstract

In the current era of globalization, computers play a vital role in meeting the need for accurate, precise, and fast information. Computers actively contribute to various fields and simplify human tasks. Technological advancements, especially in the field of informatics, have led to the development of various software tools designed to address a range of problems, including information management. One essential need in the education sector is an attendance information system that facilitates the recording of staff attendance. At SDN Laituta, the attendance of teachers and staff is still recorded manually using an annual logbook, which is prone to damage and data loss. This study aims to design and implement a web-based attendance information system to improve the efficiency and accuracy of attendance records. The development method used is the waterfall model, consisting of five main phases: requirements analysis, system design, coding, testing, and maintenance. This system allows teachers and staff to record their attendance online and automatically generates attendance reports. The implementation of this web-based attendance system is expected to replace the existing manual method, making the attendance process faster, more efficient, and free from the common issues associated with physical records. Based on the results of testing using the black box method, all system features function as specified. Thus, the system has proven effective in enhancing attendance management for teachers and staff at SDN Laituta.
