DIGITAL ATTENDANCE SYSTEMS IN EDUCATION: ENHANCING EFFICIENCY AND MONITORING IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Abstract

This study examines the implementation and impact of digital attendance systems in education. Digital attendance is a technological innovation that replaces manual attendance systems using electronic devices such as web-based applications or specialized software. This study explores the effectiveness of digital attendance implementation in improving administrative efficiency, the accuracy of attendance data, and the monitoring of teaching and learning activities. It also analyzes its impact on student engagement, attendance compliance, and the learning process. The research employs quantitative and qualitative approaches by collecting data through surveys, interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that digital attendance enhances operational efficiency and facilitates real-time student attendance monitoring. However, implementing this technology also faces challenges, such as technical issues and user resistance. These findings contribute to developing policies and strategies for adopting educational technology to support school digital transformation.
