information system design, new student admissions, academic information systems
Currently, the progress of technological innovation is very fast so that various satisfactory resources are needed, both as human resources and infrastructure [1]. The progress of computers cannot be separated from the increase in technological innovation, so the Internet is also needed. Internet technology is something that is commonly heard of, almost every human being uses this technology every day. Increasing technological innovation is developing very quickly in various fields of human life [2, 3]. Apart from that, improvements in information technology have also significantly influenced the field of education and have been widely used in agencies or organizations.
Information technology is needed as a supporting device that can help facilitate human activities. In this case study, Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational High School (SMK) still uses a manual system in admitting students, such as data processing still using paper forms taken directly at the school so this process is very ineffective and inefficient. This process is very risky of data loss if not stored carefully.
Apart from that, the problem experienced by the PPDB (New Student Registration) committee or new students is the lack of an ideal computer as a device for handling student data. Furthermore, the committee had difficulty finding data on students who had registered so it was very troublesome.
Manual registration processes tend to take up valuable time and human resources, which can disrupt school efficiency and result in data inaccuracies [4, 5] Parents and students often have to fill out many forms manually or physically come to school to register, causing disruption in their daily routine. Data errors, such as writing names or addresses incorrectly, can have a negative impact on school administration. Based on these problems, an information system for New Student Registration at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational School is needed.
This research aims to create a new information system for student registration at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational High School, with goals of speeding up the registration process, improving data accuracy, and enhancing overall school efficiency. Furthermore, this study intends to convert the current manual system into a digital platform that makes accessing student data easier, reduces the risk of data loss, and simplifies the registration process for both the school committee and new students. Ultimately, this is expected to boost the efficiency and effectiveness of New Student Registrations at the school.
2.1 Planning
Designing a New Student Registration information system is a crucial step in efforts to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the student admission process at school [6]. This system is designed to replace manual processes that tend to take time and have the potential to cause data errors [7]. In designing this system, several main aspects must be considered. First, student enrollment data collection should be simplified through easily accessible online forms.
Second, the system must be able to manage student data safely and maintain the security and confidentiality of personal information. Third, this system must have a data validation algorithm that allows identifying errors or inconsistencies in filling out forms. Fourth, integration with existing school databases is important to avoid duplication of data and ensure consistency of information. Lastly, this system must be able to provide reports and analysis of data that is useful to schools, such as student enrollment trends from year to year. Based on the previous description, by carefully designing a New Student Registration information system, schools can increase data accuracy and save valuable time and resources.
2.2 Information systems
It is important to understand that information systems are not just about technology, but also about how that technology is used to produce information that is valuable for decision making [8, 9]. The entire information system must be designed, managed and maintained well so that it can contribute positively to the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization.
An information system consists of several main elements, including hardware (hardware) such as computers and servers, software (software) such as applications and computer programs, data generated or stored by the system, procedures or steps that regulate the use of the system, and people. -the person who operates and manages the system [10, 11].
A system has an important role in identifying relevant information input and producing appropriate output as a result [12]. Therefore, appropriate goals and objectives are needed for the system. Meanwhile, information refers to various types of data that are processed into a form that is more valuable and meaningful for the party who receives it.
Information systems are various computer devices and software as well as human devices that will monitor information using devices and programming [13]. Therefore, to help the smooth running of an information system, several parts are needed so that information handling can run as expected. The component parts of an information system consist of input, process, output, technological innovation, data collection, and control [14, 15].
The New Student Registration Information System is a software or digital platform designed to facilitate an effective and efficient student registration process in an educational institution, such as a school [7, 16]. This system allows prospective students to submit registration applications online, fill out the registration form, and upload the required documents. Apart from that, this system also allows school administrative staff to manage registration data, check the validity of documents, and compile student admission lists.
2.3 New Student Registration (PPDB)
New Student Registration (PPDB) or New Student Registration has an important role in maintaining the integrity of the new student admissions process, avoiding nepotism or discrimination practices, and ensuring that all candidates have the same opportunity to access education [17]. Therefore, good and fair PPDB management is one of the key aspects in providing quality education [18].
Based on the opinion of Damayanti et al. [19] that PPDB is an academic selection process for prospective new students to continue to a higher level of education from their previous school with the main aim of organizing and managing the admission of new students in a structured and fair manner. This process involves a number of stages, including the announcement of registration, collection of application forms, data verification, selection processing, and announcement of admissions results by establishing educational quality guarantees to help efforts towards ideal goals [20].
2.4 Website
A website is a digital page that can be accessed via the internet with various types of content, such as text, images, audio or video, which can be viewed via a computer, tablet or smartphone device [21-23]. Websites usually have a unique address called a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), which users use to access the page.
Moreover, websites are not just about technology but are also a powerful medium for communicating, sharing information, and interacting with users from various backgrounds. Websites have become an integral part of the digital world and play an important role in providing access to information and services in this modern era, so their use depends on the needs and preferences of the owner.
2.5 PHP
The PHP (Personal Home Page) programming language is very useful in developing this application because it allows website managers to carry out various tasks such as processing registration data, saving data into a database, validating data, and presenting information dynamically to users [24, 25]. Through PHP, developers can create interactive registration forms that allow prospective students or their parents to fill in personal data and upload documents easily. Apart from that, PHP also enables real-time data validation, which helps identify errors in filling out forms and ensures that the data submitted by the applicant meets the specified requirements.
PHP is open source software that is distributed free of charge [26] with a license and can be downloaded on the official website, namely http://www.php.net freely. PHP also supports integration with other technologies, such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS which makes it possible to create an attractive and well-functioning website appearance [27]. Especially in new student admission applications, because it can help automate and increase the efficiency of the admission process, make the applicant experience more comfortable, and provide a strong system for educational institutions in managing registration data and making decisions on student selection results.
2.6 MySQL
MySQL is a database management system (DBMS) that can be used in new student admission applications to store and manage data related to New Student Registration [28, 29]. In the context of this application, MySQL acts as a "warehouse" where student registration data, such as personal information, educational history, and application documents, can be stored and accessed in a structured manner.
Through MySQL, new student admissions applications can process data efficiently, reducing the potential for human error, and providing a better registration experience for prospective students and administrative staff. Additionally, MySQL also enables secure and reliable data storage, which is critical in managing sensitive information such as prospective students' personal data [30]. The advantages of MySQL are:
1. It doesn't require a lot of RAM, the advantage of MySQL is that it can be installed on servers with small RAM specifications.
2. Structured data storage, meaning that MySQL allows student registration data to be stored in structured tables, which makes it easy to organize and access.
3. Supports multi-user, meaning MySQL can be used by many users at the same time.
4. Guaranteed security, meaning MySQL provides a variety of security features, including access rights management, data encryption, and user authentication, which are important for protecting requesters' personal data.
2.7 Flow chart
Flowcharts in designing new student admission applications are very useful in several ways because they help researchers visualize the stages required in developing new student admission applications [31, 32]. Firstly, it helps in planning and organizing the design process clearly. Second, it allows application developers and designers to understand the workflow and development stages required. Third, this flowchart can be used as a reference guide during application development, helping to avoid confusion or errors in the design process.
In addition, flowcharts can also be an effective communication tool within a development team, ensuring that all team members have a uniform understanding of the steps to be taken in designing a new student admissions application. Thus, flowcharts become an important instrument in planning and developing efficient and effective new student admission applications.
The research methodology for the New Student Registration information system at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational High School adopts a research and development approach, which involves several key phases [33]. Initially, a comprehensive literature review will be conducted to explore existing literature on student registration systems. Following this, data collection or needs analysis will be performed to gather insights from stakeholders regarding their requirements and expectations for the system. Subsequently, the system will be designed based on the findings from the needs analysis stage.
The testing phase will employ black box testing methodology to evaluate the system's functionality independently of its internal workings [34]. Additionally, descriptive statistical analysis techniques will be utilized to analyze the collected data. This research method aims to ensure that the New Student Registration system is tailored to meet the specific needs of Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational High School, enhancing its efficiency and effectiveness.

4.3 System testing results
The results of the design and implementation of this new web-based student registration system are very encouraging. The registration process becomes much more efficient because prospective students and their parents have the ability to fill out the registration form flexibly, wherever and whenever they are. Moreover, there has been a significant increase in interactions between prospective students, parents and school officials. They can easily communicate with the school, both for questions and clarification, via online platforms. Data management also becomes more accurate thanks to digital storage of registration data, so the risk of errors in data management can be reduced.
This platform overcomes the challenges that often arise regarding distance and time constraints in the registration process. However, it is important to consider regular maintenance and system updates to maintain platform performance and security. Apart from that, outreach efforts are also needed for prospective students and parents who may not be familiar with the use of online platforms. Overall, this system design has provided a modern and effective solution in the registration process at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational School.
The database structure for the New Student Registration information system at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational High School involves four main tables: "Students," "Parents," "Users," and "Documents." Each table is designed with appropriate columns to store relevant information, and the relationships between tables are explained through the use of foreign keys. Below is the complete database structure for the New Student Registration information system at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational High School:
Students Table: This table stores information about registering students, including their name, date of birth, gender, address, phone number, email, and registration date. The primary key, student_id, is generated automatically.
Parents Table: It contains information about the parents or guardians of students, including their name, phone number, email, and relationship to the student. The student_id serves as a foreign key connecting it to the Students table.
Users Table: This table is used to store system user information such as username, password, user role (admin, staff, or student), and email address. The primary key is user_id.
Documents Table: It stores details of documents uploaded by students during the registration process, such as birth certificates or identification cards. Each document has attributes like document type, file path, and upload date. The student_id is used as a foreign key to connect it to the Students table.
With this database structure, the student registration system at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational High School can store and manage student, parent, user, and document information in a structured and efficient manner. Here is the complete PHP MySQL database structure for the New Student Registration information system at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational High School:
|
<?php // Database connection $servername = "localhost"; $username = "username"; $password = "password"; $database = "fardillah_school";
\$conn = new mysqli(\$servername, \$username, \$password, \$database);
if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); }
// Creating the Students table $sql_students = "CREATE TABLE Students ( student_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, first_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, last_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, date_of_birth DATE NOT NULL, gender ENUM('Male', 'Female') NOT NULL, address TEXT NOT NULL, phone_number VARCHAR(15), email VARCHAR(100), registration_date DATE NOT NULL )";
if (\$conn->query(\$sql_students) === TRUE) { echo "Table Students created successfully"; } else { echo "Error creating table: " . $conn->error; }
// Creating the Parents table $sql_parents = "CREATE TABLE Parents ( parent_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, student_id INT, first_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, last_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, phone_number VARCHAR(15), email VARCHAR(100), relationship VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY (student_id) REFERENCES Students(student_id) )";

Apart from back box testing, system quality testing was carried out using responses from 400 respondents regarding the criteria for the Registration Process, Friendly User Interface, Maintained Data Security, Well managed Errors, and System Performance. According to their impression of the statement or question, respondents were asked to choose one option on the instrument provided with a Likert scale, as shown in Table 2.
The rating scale used in assessing this application uses a Likert scale with 4 (four) options, namely "Very Good," "Good," "Quite Good," and "Not Good," which is useful for measuring the level of satisfaction and views of users towards the application [38, 39]. In use, respondents are asked to choose one of these four assessment levels based on their perception of the application. The “Very Good” option indicates very high satisfaction and a positive view of the application, while “Good” indicates satisfaction with some positive notes. “Fairly Good” reflects satisfaction in some aspects but also acknowledges room for improvement, whereas “Not Good” reflects dissatisfaction or disappointment.
This scale provides nuance in measuring user views and helps in identifying areas that require improvement or improvement in the development of new student admissions applications. The results of using this Likert scale can provide valuable insights for developers to improve the quality and performance of applications according to feedback from users. The number of respondents was 400 people with data distribution, 62% of the total respondents (n = 250) were male, and 38% (n = 150) are women as seen in Figure 19.
Based on the results of the overall analysis of variables (registration process, application display, data security, error management system, system response) using descriptive analysis shows that around 37.5% or around 150 respondents expressed a very high level of satisfaction with the web-based New Student Registration information system. Additionally, it is around 62.5% or 250 respondents stated that they were satisfied with the system used, and there were no respondents who stated that they were dissatisfied with the system as shown in Figure 20. Through these findings, it can be concluded that users of the new student admissions application are very satisfied with the existing system.

Furthermore, based on the results of the analysis of each variable such as the web-based New Student Registration process, it can be seen that the majority of respondents gave very positive assessments on various aspects of this application. In testing the registration process, 67.7% of respondents stated that this process was very good, while 32.3% said it was good. This shows that most users feel good the registration process went very well or well. These results indicate that the registration process in this system is considered efficient and effective by users.
Furthermore, we also considered the appearance of the application, where the analysis results showed that 70% of respondents (70.3%) felt that the appearance of this application was very good, while 24.3% thought it was good. This reflects that the user interface design has met the user's needs and resulted in a positive user experience.
In terms of data security, the majority of respondents (44.7%) stated that their data was very safe, while 52.7% said it was good. This indicates that the system has succeeded in protecting users' personal data well and giving users a sense of confidence regarding data security, while the system's error management also received a positive assessment, with 57.7% of respondents considering it very good and 41.7% calling it good. These results show that the system is able to resolve errors effectively and provide adequate solutions to users when problems occur.
Finally, in terms of system response, 67% of respondents stated that the system response was good, while 31.7% considered it very good, this illustrates that the system responds well to user actions and provides an overall satisfactory user experience. This is in line with the research results [40, 41] which states that technological advances increase efficiency and save time and influence the way students learn as generation z.
This shows that the registration system new student manages to meet the expectations of most users, both in terms of its functionality and in more general aspects of use. In addition, supported by test results and user opinions, it confirms that this system is effective and reliable in the registration process at Fardillah Moncongloe Vocational School.
Based on the results of the previous analysis and discussion, it appears that this new student admission application has met excellent application development standards based on the user's perspective and the results of black box testing. So, with this information system, it is hoped that all problems faced by the new student admissions executive committee can be resolved properly, as well as making it easier for prospective new students or parents to register for school online wherever they are.
Other positive responses from respondents related to the registration process, application display, data security, system error management, and system response, show that this application has succeeded in providing a satisfying experience to its users, as well as providing great benefits in the efficiency of the registration process and maintaining integrity and security. data, all united in one satisfying package for the user.
Suggestions for further research in the 5.0 era, it is very important to continue to advance and optimize new student admission applications. While the positive results from respondents are a good first step, future research should deepen the analysis of the use of these applications and involve the development of AI (artificial intelligence) to improve their functionality. Consider leveraging the latest technology such as big data analytics to provide deeper insights into student enrollment trends.
In addition, focus attention on a more personalized and immersive user experience by using VR (virtual reality) or AR (augmented reality) methods. Ensuring data security remains a top priority, especially in an era where privacy issues are increasingly important. Finally, it is necessary to continue to monitor the latest technological developments and trends in the world of education to ensure that this application remains relevant and able to meet user needs in the future. With this approach, future research can ensure that new student admission applications can continue to develop and provide a superior experience in the 5.0 era.
