Abstract


The advancement of information technology in education requires effective systems to manage and monitor teaching activities. Many schools still manage teacher teaching journals manually, resulting in inefficiencies in data recording, monitoring, and reporting. This study aims to develop a prototype-based Django web application to optimize teacher journal management and instructional monitoring. The research method used is the prototype development method, which includes requirement analysis, system design, prototype development, testing, and implementation. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature review to identify system requirements. The system was designed using the Django framework with a MySQL database and implemented as a web-based application that supports journal input, attendance recording, documentation upload, and monitoring features. Functional testing showed that all system features operated properly, while usability testing resulted in an average score of 92%, indicating that the system effectively meets user needs. The developed application improves efficiency in managing teacher journals, enhances real-time monitoring, and supports data-driven decision-making in educational management.

Keywords
