Desarrollo de un sistema prototipo para la administración estudiantil de una unidad educativa.

Abstract

In this curricular integration work, a prototype system (web application) was developed for the management of the academic information of an educational unit, which will allow managing the data of the different users that make up this institution (students, teachers, and representatives), student grades and academic certificates. Also, it will allow the representatives to know the performance and behavior of their representatives through academic observations. Chapter I shows all the basic and necessary concepts, as well as the technological tools used to carry out this curricular integration work. Chapter II has the design and implementation of the prototype system. In the design part is the Kanban methodology that was used for the development of the prototype system, as well as: requirements gathering, database design, use case diagram, interface sketch and class diagram. In the implementation part, the technological tools used for the development of the prototype system are shown, as follows: PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) as a programming language, MySQL was used as a database manager, complemented with JavaScript for validations, Bootstrap for CSS layout, JQuery Ajax for RestFul web service consumption. These components were chosen because they are free software, that is, free or free to use, and because of their ease of learning, as they have a very low learning curve. For the development of the prototype system, the Client-Server model was applied, for which Restful was used, this being a web service based on the REST architecture and that uses the JSON text format for data exchange. Finally, chapter III shows the results obtained from the performance tests that were applied to four people, who assumed the different roles of the prototype system.
