Abstract
As a developing country, Malaysia's future is dependent on its human capital to enhance
and expand our nation's capabilities and technologies. As such, we need to cultivate and
monitor our future leaders from an early age. School is the best place to start as it is during
these stages of their life that they can be moulded and instilled with the knowledge and
education needed to effectively evolve and expand our nation. There are a lot of School
Administration and Management software available in countries such as the US, UK and
other developed countries. But here in Malaysia we lack in such software or systems. If the
government plans to develop ICT, a school is the best place to start.
A system that focuses on each student will enable school administrators, teachers and
parents to better assist their children in achieving better results and focusing on their goals.
SMaRtal is a system that effectively manages information about students (such as their
academic records, co-curricular activities, attendance and also discipline records), analyzes
that information and produces a of the student's activities. This system enables parents to
monitor their child's progress and uncovers any problems they are facing from anywhere in
the world using the internet. Its add on-modules - the Student Problem Analyzer and the
Student Career Guidance offers added value to the system.
A Pilot study was conducted by the team to find out for certain that teachers are
actually disagreeing with SMM and would like improvements to be done on it. Other
researches were conducted to find what elements are needed to design and develop the
marketing plan for SMaRtal and also the functionality for the add-on modules. The
qualitative research carried out by the researcher revealed that the subject of Mathematics can
actually be implemented into the Student Problem Analyzer module. From this research, the
design for the mathematics module of the Student Problem Analyzer is now complete and can
thus be proceed to the development stage.
