Internship Monitoring System at State Vocational High School 7 Kupang

Abstract

The internship program at State Vocational High School 7 Kupang aims to provide students with work experience and industry-relevant skills. Challenges such as difficulties in monitoring students at distant locations, fraud in attendance reporting, and dishonesty in activity journals hinder its effectiveness. To address these issues, a web-based internship monitoring system was developed using the waterfall method. This system enables supervising teachers to monitor student activities, while students can take attendance and fill out activity journals online. It facilitates real-time monitoring, improves transparency, and ensures accurate reporting. The system also helps schools in placing students at internship locations, tracking their activities, and maintaining digital records of attendance and journals. Key features include monthly monitoring by teachers, presence validation, and activity journal verification by field supervisors and supervising teachers at the end of the internship. By implementing this system, schools can enhance internship supervision, minimize fraud, and improve the reliability of student reports.
