Smart School System with Single ID based on RFID Through NFC using FCM Notification

Abstract

The development of information technology provides convenience in managing activities at school, including student activities such as attendance, borrowing or returning library books, delivering announcements to the parents, school administration, teaching and learning processes. Some of these activities can be simplified using a single identity. In this study, a smart school system was designed using a single identity (ID) based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). That used to identify student activities, including attendance, borrowing, returning library books through Near Field Communication (NFC) cell phones with smartcard reader applications to read Unique ID (UID). Then the UID is mapped with student activities and stored in a database to be processed into an integrated School Management System (SMS), which consists of e-student, e-attendance, e-library, e-class. Each student activity triggered by this ID is notified to the parents via student mobile using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). To measuring this system's successful implementation, five Likert scale questionnaires were used to obtain respondents' information and opinions about the smart school system indicators. Then analyzed the correlation coefficient (r) and its validity using the Pearson correlation and calculated the reliability using the Cronbach coefficient (Cα). The analysis shows that the r indicator has a moderate and strong degree of correlation and is valid with 0.641 ≤ r ≤0.849 is greater than rtable, which is = 0.345. The reliability is very good with Cα=0.807.
