DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED ACADEMIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

Currently, the development of technology and the change in the student generation have driven educational institutions to adapt to the use of technology in its services. This research is aimed at describing and analyzing research findings and developing an academic management system. ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) approach of research and development model was used in this research. The research found that although the univesity had had an academic management system, its implementation was not yet optimal and integrated. This research developed an integrated academic management system which philosophically not only provides an efficient and up to date professional service but also bolster the efficiency and effectiveness of the performance of the Three Pillars of Higher Education. With quality service, the university performs better and functions more effectively in carrying out the education processes in order to facilitate the learning proccess of its students. The research concludes that the academic information system is important not only to provide better services but also to enhance the graduate quality.
