PERANCANGAN WEBSITE SMART SCHOOL SYSTEM SEBAGAI MEDIA INFORMASI DAN KOMUNIKASI DIGITAL DI SDN DANUKUSUMAN

Abstract

This research aims to design and develop the Smart School System website portal at SDN Danukusuman Surakarta as a centralized, structured, and dynamic digital information and communication medium. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), applying the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) development model. The system was built independently using the PHP Native programming language, a MySQL database integrated through XAMPP, and was supported by Unified Modeling Language (UML) blueprints and the Bootstrap framework to produce a responsive interface. The results of the technical feasibility testing using Black Box Testing through a questionnaire instrument assessment by three media expert lecturers obtained an average percentage of 92%, qualifying as "Highly Feasible." Meanwhile, the assessment by three material experts (Principal, Operator, and Teacher) yielded an average percentage of 93.33%, qualifying as "Highly Feasible." The evaluation of the user acceptance rate using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) distributed to student parent representatives also resulted in an average percentage of 93.33% ("Highly Feasible"). These overall results indicate that the developed Smart School System website is highly feasible and effective for use as a digital communication medium to bridge the information gap between the school and the public, as well as to optimize the efficiency of school data management in real-time.
