Fabsis: A Data Management System in Educational Administration

Abstract

In education management, it is very important to get the information of schools fast and reliable. In Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education, management of 3170 schools of 39 districts is planned in. In particular; projects such as the Fatih Project where all the schools are equipped with technological infrastructure, requires correct and fast data flow during the planning and implementation processes because of the cost of a wrong action. For example, information which taken from schools in July cannot be reached and re requested in August because of the vacation of the officer who handles the data. During data gathering process, schools do not send data, they send late, and the information provided is stored in personnel computers. So, there is no continuity of the data and some information from the schools is requested repeatedly and this situation is causing the progeny in planning and implementation. The purpose of this research is to create an educational information system in which school information is effectively managed, do not need a programmer for each information request, in which the continuity and sharing of information is ensured. The program was built using the PHP programming language and the MYSQL database system. A responsive design has been used to allow access from mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers. Some sub-systems have been developed to facilitate data collection and management. One of that sub-systems is that information stored in computers in the type of office formats can be added to the system quickly and forms can be created using the titles of these data on the fly. It is considered that data mining and machine learning algorithms can be added to the system and data mining can be done on the data for future studies.
