Purpose: To develop a curriculum management information system in accordance with AUN-QA criteria, and to evaluate its efficiency for curriculum management.
Methodology: The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design based on Agile Modeling, consisting of six stages: stakeholder analysis, planning, system analysis, development, testing, and evaluation. Data were collected through requirement interviews covering system components, functional features, data elements, desired reports, and implementation context, along with a Likert scale questionnaire to assess system quality, information quality, net benefits, and user satisfaction. The participants included 52 stakeholders: 3 administrators, 21 curriculum committee members, and 28 support staff. System development utilized tools such as Data Flow Diagram, Entity Relationship Diagram, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Apache 2.4, PHP 7.2, MariaDB 10.2, Docker 19.03.2, Yii2 Framework, and Vue.JS 2.5.
Findings: The developed Curriculum Management Information System (CA System) comprises four main modules: data entry, data retrieval, data processing, and reporting. It was designed with consideration of user roles and responsibilities, enabling access to reliable data and evidence for curriculum management in compliance with AUN-QA criteria. An evaluation by 52 stakeholders revealed that the system demonstrated a very high overall efficiency (Mean = 4.58, S.D. = 0.57). Among the dimensions, net benefits achieved the highest rating (Mean = 4.71, S.D. = 0.49).
Applications of this study: The system can be applied in other higher education institutions to enhance curriculum administration consistent with AUN-QA criteria, reduce redundancy in data management, and provide as empirical evidence for quality assurance reporting. Moreover, it can be extended for university-wide implementation as a standardized framework for curriculum management and quality assurance.
