DEVELOPMENT OF A WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM WITH DATA ANALYTICS

Abstract

This study focuses on designing and developing an intern management system for a higher learning institution. Poor communication among stakeholders, as well as low student performance monitoring, have made it challenging for schools to actively engage their stakeholders. Their participation is crucial towards ensuring the quality of the internship. To mitigate these gaps, the study aims to build a tailored management information system complete with data analytics for effective monitoring, data representation, and seamless interaction among students, coordinators, and industry stakeholders. The study is quantitative in nature, with survey instruments collecting data through self-administered questionnaires administered to students, internship coordinators, and supervisors of companies before and after the system’s implementation. The software’s evaluation and post-evaluation surveys are anchored on the standards of measurement of software user satisfaction about ease of use, functionality, action, and degree of content provided, and also satisfaction. The achievement of these objectives relied heavily on the estimation and allocation of weighted means and frequency distributions. The outcomes highlight that users have more satisfaction with improved internship record management, monitoring of students’ active participation, and tracking their progress. With the added analytics, enhanced decisions, and policies about the management of internship analytics are made
