Abstract
Background: Online platform-based educational technology support is also utilized to ensure the accessibility and sustainability of the system. After implementation, continuous monitoring and evaluation are carried out to ensure the effectiveness of the system, accompanied by the development of user competencies through training and mentoring so that the full potential of the system can be optimally utilized.
Aims: This study aims to develop a Quality Assurance Management Information System at the faculty level as a concrete effort to optimize the quality of higher education management.
Study Design: The output of this research is a quality assurance information system
Place and Duration of Study: Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, From January 2024 to December 2024.
Methodology: The method used in developing a quality assurance management information system at the faculty level will use the Modified Waterfall Method. The steps taken in this method will return to the previous step to test whether the steps developed are in accordance with what was planned or expected.
Results: The output of this research is a quality assurance information system called BENJAMIN MAKSI (Electronic Basis for Accreditation Quality Assurance), which is designed to support the quality assurance and accreditation process in a systematic and sustainable manner. The system design was developed using a database table-based Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) approach, adapting the Excel template structure into a relational database schema. Each user category, such as the head of the study program, the Quality Assurance Unit, and the accreditation team or task force, was given access rights through a login mechanism to fill in, manage, and download accreditation data in accordance with their respective authorities.
Conclusion: This research successfully developed a web-based Quality Assurance Accreditation Management Information System at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Surabaya State University. The developed system, BENJAMIN MAKSI (Electronic Quality Assurance Accreditation Database), is designed to support the management of quantitative accreditation data and Program Performance Reports (PPR) in accordance with the national accreditation instruments. The development of this system provides a concrete solution to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and integration of quality assurance management at the faculty level. The development of this system provides a concrete solution to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and integration of quality assurance management at the faculty level. Finally, further research can focus on measuring the impact of the system's use on improving the effectiveness of quality assurance and quantitative accreditation achievements of study programs.
