| dc.description.abstract | This report presents the development of a web-based information system for subject selection in secondary schools in Uganda. The system aims to address the challenges students face in making informed decisions about their subject choices, ultimately improving their academic outcomes and aligning their choices with their career aspirations.
Through surveys and interviews with students, career guidance counselors, and university students, valuable insights were gathered regarding the subject selection process. These findings guided the design and implementation of the online subject selection information system.
The system offers user registration, academic history input, interest and career aspiration assessment, subject recommendation generation, online subject selection, and an appeals process. It leverages intelligent algorithms to provide personalized subject recommendations based on individual profiles and desired career paths. The system also features a user-friendly interface, allowing students to review and select their preferred subjects with ease.
The development process followed a hybrid methodology, incorporating elements of the waterfall model and agile practices. This approach facilitated iterative development, frequent feedback, and continuous improvement of the system.
Evaluation of the system included usability testing and feedback collection from students and career guidance counselors. The results indicated high user satisfaction and demonstrated the system's effectiveness in supporting students in making informed subject choices.
This project contributes to the field of educational technology by addressing the challenges associated with subject selection in secondary schools. The developed web-based information system has the potential to enhance students' decision-making processes, improve academic achievements, and align subject choices with their career aspirations.
This research is dedicated to future students in Information Systems and Technology, as well as individuals interested in information system development and its impact on education. It is hoped that this work will provide valuable insights and guidance to those involved in subject selection processes and contribute to the advancement of educational technology.
