A study conducted by Idoko from Department of Computer Engineering, Near East University introduces an innovative solution to address the challenges faced by lower-tier educational institutions in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study sheds light on the growing recognition among school proprietors, educators, and parents regarding the pivotal role of smart mobile devices in enhancing school management processes. In response to this demand, the researchers have developed NEUKinderApp (Near East Kindergarten School Mobile App), a smart school management system designed to streamline various administrative tasks and facilitate effective communication between stakeholders.
NEUKinderApp boasts an adaptive and context-aware user interface, catering to essential functions such as new student enrollment, teacher-parent communication, course registration, announcement distribution, result dissemination, and attendance tracking. Recognizing the significance of parental involvement in students’ academic success and social development, the app prioritizes seamless communication between teachers and parents. By leveraging e-communication channels, NEUKinderApp replaces traditional paper-based communication methods, offering parents real-time updates and notifications to mitigate conflicts arising from missed phone calls or network connectivity issues.
The efficacy of NEUKinderApp was evaluated through empirical experiments, revealing promising outcomes. Notably, the app demonstrated a tangible enhancement in teacher-parent communication, consequently correlating with improved student performance. Moreover, NEUKinderApp exhibited significantly reduced response times compared to similar mobile applications, underscoring its efficiency and practical utility in school management contexts.
The introduction of NEUKinderApp represents a noteworthy advancement in the realm of educational technology, offering a pragmatic solution to address the evolving needs of modern educational institutions. By leveraging mobile technology to foster enhanced communication and streamline administrative processes, NEUKinderApp stands as a testament to the potential of innovation in optimizing educational outcomes and enriching the school experience for all stakeholders.
