Sistema de controlo da efectividade do docente: integração com o cumprimento do plano analítico

Abstract

The control of teaching effectiveness is an essential element of academic management, encompassing the attendance of lecturers and students as well as the fulfilment of the analytical plan for each course unit. Currently, this process is carried out manually through attendance books, physical lesson summaries, and paper-based forms. Students evaluate lecturers through manual procedures that are delivered to the class representative, making the process slow and prone to errors and inconsistencies. Likewise, the control of student attendance by lecturers is often performed using paper lists or spreadsheets, which complicates the recording and consolidation of information. To overcome these limitations, this work proposes the development of a Web System for Monitoring Teaching Effectiveness (SCED), intended to digitalize the entire process currently in place. The system integrates, within a single digital environment, attendance registration, monitoring of the analytical plan, and communication between lecturers and the coordination team. The proposed solution also aims to digitalize the lecturer evaluation process carried out by students and improve the control of student attendance in each course unit, promoting greater transparency and efficiency. Additionally, the system will allow the submission of absence justifications, class rescheduling requests, and the automatic generation of reports. The study adopted a qualitative approach, using interviews with lecturers and academic managers, direct observation of institutional practices, and the analysis of physical records. For the development of the solution, the Scrum methodology was applied on top of a layered architecture, using React.js, Node.js, and MySQL as the main technologies. The case study was conducted at the Faculty of Science of Eduardo Mondlane University, in the Department of Mathematics and Informatics. The SCED represents an important step toward the modernization of academic management, contributing to the improvement of administrative and pedagogical quality.
