Development of information system for government chinese primary school (case study : SJK(C) Convent Datuk Keramat)

Abstract

The primary language used in Chinese primary school is Mandarin. The language in report used internally will be Mandarin but Malay language will be used in reports for Malaysia government which means the reports needed to be generated twice. Consequently, a computerized management information system needed to be built to reduce their workload. Studies are done on government primary education and government Chinese primary school. A case study is done on SJK(C) Convent Datuk Keramat. Besides, existing systems which are mainly developed and used by Western countries are explored and the features of the systems are compared to each other. The information systems in Malaysia are discussed as well. Also, the multilingual systems and the existing website and system in different areas are discussed. The methodology used in this project is Rational Unified Process (RUP). In the project, system is designed as module based system. There are in total 3 main modules in the system which consist of assistant principal module, class teacher module and teacher module. Testing is required to be carried out on the system. In unit testing, every small module needed to be tested. In integration testing, the integration between modules is tested in details. In system testing, the full system will be tested to check the functional of the system. Rollout strategy used in the project is pilot strategy which required a group of pilot users.
