The development of technology has developed very rapidly

along with the many human needs. Web technology systems

are one of the most frequently used applications in everyday

human life. Assessment in the learning process is important,

so that good value data processing will produce report cards

as a good evaluation result, besides that the results of value

data processing will be used as one of the benchmarks for the

success of students taking education in school. This study

aims to implement the PIECES method at the stage of

developing a student assessment system at SMPN 201

Jakarta in the form of a web application. PIECES analysis

consists of Performance, Information, Economy, Control,

Efficiency and Service. The conclusion of the research is that

the application of a multi-user student assessment data

system application at SMPN 201 Jakarta can improve work

services and time efficiency in terms of processing student

grade data. The student assessment data processing system

INTRODUCTION

Along with the many human needs. Web technology systems are becoming one of

the most commonly used applications in everyday human life. By using a computer as a

tool that is able to store and manage data quickly, precisely and accurately.

This makes the development of technology a major role and much needed (Haerani

& Robiyanto, 2019). Technology and information are two of several things that cannot be

separated in human life at least until now technology and information become one of the

important factors to be a support in everyday life other than because it is considered as a

necessity also because of the demands of the times that always prioritize about the speed

and progress of information technology (Padeli, Mulyati, Faisal, & Debora, 2020).

Value is the achievement of learners' learning outcomes in a communicative

manner in one semester. Commutative means the alignment of the average daily repeat

value, midterm repeat, and end-of-semester repeat. At this time almost all educational

institutions or institutions both public and private are careful in processing student value

data, because of the importance of the values that will be issued to determine achievement

for students and as a benchmark for the level of ability or intelligence of students in

learning (Maria & Muawanah, 2018). Assessment in the learning process is important, so

that good value data processing will produce raport values as a result of good evaluation

as well, in addition, the results of processing value data will be used as one of the

benchmarks for students' success in school (Sumbaryadi & Christo, 2019).

To get results from good value data processing one of them by utilizing existing

and emerging technologies today or in other words make the student value data

processing system computerized in this case web-based. In addition to the results

obtained from the data process more accurately, using a web-based computerized system

can also facilitate the performance of the teacher board that manages student value data in

schools at SMP Negeri 201 located at Jl. Kayu Besar In No.2, RT.2 / RW.11, Cengkareng

Timur, Cengkareng Subdistrict, West Jakarta City, DKI Jakarta. With this information

system is expected to facilitate both subject teachers, classroom guardians and related

parties in the preparation of student assessment documents effectively and efficiently.

Then the reason web-based information systems are used in the processing of value data

is also stated by Suryandani "the reason web-based information systems are used is the

ease in how to access it, namely by accessing through a browser on a computer device or

telephone device. Based on the analysis of the above problems, there needs to be an

integrated value data processing system so that the processing of student value data can

be done quickly, precisely, and accurately. So that the processing of data values and

presentation of information can be done effectively and efficiently. In addition to the

research to be conducted, the author gave a research title on "Implementation of Pieces

Methods in Student Assessment System at SMPN 201 Jakarta".

The 1st (one) study entitled "Measurement of E-learning Quality at STMIK

STIKOM Bali with PIECES Framework Method" resulted in research where, the

measuring tool used is a likert scale with a positive statement that has a value of 1-5 with

answers strongly agreed, agreed, neutral, disagreed, and strongly disagreed. With the

conduct of e-learning quality measurement research will be known the quality value of

elearning with the PIECES framework method based on respondents' answers

(Ramayasa, 2016).

The 2nd (two) study entitled "Evaluation of Implementation of Hospital E-

Prescribing Module With PIECES Method" concluded that As many as four attributes

reached a maximum score (100%) meaning that it was in accordance with the needs of

Eduvest – Journal of Universal Studies

Volume 1 Number 9, September 2021

990 http://eduvest.greenvest.co.id

the user, but as many as two attributes have an effectiveness score that is not optimal

meaning there are still problems, namely on performance attributes (57.14%) and

information (66.67%) (Arifin, Muhimmah, & Firdianingsih, 2017).

The 3rd (three) study entitled "Analysis in Measuring Service Quality Against

Consumer Satisfaction Using THE PIECES Method" concludes that the analysis of the

PIECES method provides an overview of the company in looking at the value of each

employee in providing services based on performance indicators, indicator information,

economic indicators, indicator control, efficiency indicators and indicator services (Asbar

& Saptari, 2017).

RESEARCH METHOD

This type of research is descriptive qualitative using a design model. In this case

the author uses the codeigniter framework to make it easier to group program code.

Codeigniter is an open source web application framework used to build web applications.

The main purpose of developing codeigniter is to help developers in working on

applications faster than writing all code from scratch and codeigniter is one of the fastest

php frameworks currently available (Romadhon & Desmulyati, 2019).

XAMPP is an application that functions as a stand-alone server (localhost), which

consists of several programs including: Apache HTTP Server, MySQL database and

language translator written in PHP and Perl programming languages. The name XAMPP

itself stands for X four operating systems, which include Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl.

This program is available under the GNU (General Public License), is an easy-to-use web

server that can display dynamic web pages (Gao, Cheng, He, Susilo, & Li, 2018).

The technique for testing to be carried out is using black box testing. Focusing on

testing the functional requirements of the software, to obtain a set of input conditions that

match the functional requirements of a program. Black box testing is testing the

fundamental aspects of the system without paying attention to the software's internal

logical structure (Audrilia & Budiman, 2020).

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

A. Analysis and Design

1. System Analysis

a. Problem Analysis

The student assessment system in SMPN 201 Jakarta has actually used a

computer but has not been computerized, meaning that data relating to student

scores in the form of report cards conducted by SMPN 201 Jakarta has been using

a computer. However, to be able to record, edit and process existing data is still

very difficult and requires a long time because the data is not well organized. For

the data input process, the administrator enters the data into the fields that have

been created in Microsoft Excel. However, to be able to edit and change the

desired data, the administrator must search for the existing data one by one. This

of course takes a long time, so the effectiveness and accuracy of the data is not

guaranteed. The steps in the systems analysis stage are almost the same as the

steps taken in defining the system project to be developed at the systems planning

stage.

Jakarta 991

The difference lies in the scope of work. Therefore, at the system analysis

stage, the first step that must be carried out by system analysis is first identify the

problem (Xiao & Watson, 2019).

b. Identify the Cause of the Problem

This problem arises due to several factors, namely as follows:

1) In the overall student score data management section, it is still done

manually.

2) In the assessment system section there is no program that supports the

work process.

c. Troubleshooting Identification and Troubleshooting

Based on the analysis of the identification of the causes of the existing

problems, it was found that the identification of the problem points at SMPN 201

Jakarta, namely supporting student assessment activities still using the Ms. Office

(Ms. Word, Ms. Excel and Ms. Powerpoint) while the parties involved in the

activities of the student assessment system are:

1) Academic/Administrative Section Assigned and responsible for

processing all student data, lesson schedules, teacher data, homeroom data and

student grades.

2) Teacher's Section, in charge of and responsible for inputting and editing

student score data.

3) Homeroom Section, tasked and responsible for processing student grade

data per class

d. System Requirements Analysis

A. Functional Needs

Based on the explanation above, we need a system that can solve the

existing problems. The new system required should be able to handle the

following.

1. The need for an adequate student assessment information system

accelerates data processing and improves the quality of the information

produced.

2. The effectiveness of data processing of student scores in several places

requires fast transactions.

3. The computer network allows for fast communication between the

principal, teachers and school staff.

4. The computer network system provides data protection. The guarantee

of data security is provided through setting user access rights and

passwords as well as hard disk management techniques so that data gets

good protection and can be accessed by the owner.

5. With a computer network, each user can share one or more file systems

(file sharing) so as to facilitate data exchange, time and cost efficiency.

B. Non-Functional Needs

1. Hardware

The existing hardware is in the form of a computer, to support the course of

the student assessment system at SMPN 201 Jakarta which will be built. The

Eduvest – Journal of Universal Studies

hardware used in building this system is as follows.

a. 1 PC Core-i5 Gen 8

b. Memory 4GB

c. 500MB SSD

d. Display Monitor

e. Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

2. Software

The specifications of the software that will be used in building this system

are as follows.

a. Windows Pro 10-64 Bit

b. Visual Studio Code

c. XAMPP Software

d. Chrome

e. Running System Analysis

Figure 1. Running Flowmap

The results of the flowmap design can be seen in Figure 1 above, where the

flowmap description of the existing system in the student assessment system at

SMPN 201 Jakarta. The chart describes the sequence of procedures and shows

what the system and users do.

2. PIECES analysis

a. Performance

Performance or performance problems occur when the tasks performed by

the system reach the target. Performance is measured by the amount of production

and response time. Total production is the amount of work carried out during a

certain period of time. Response time is the average delay between a transaction

and the response given to that transaction. The Performance analysis is: On the

system that is being used, it is only done manually so that the administrator will

do the same job over and over again so that the administrator's performance

Jakarta 993

cannot be maximized (Mozafari, Curino, Jindal, & Madden, 2013). In the

proposed system, a computerized system will be built and stored in an integrated

storage database so that the assessment data system is not repeated. The system

applied uses a web-based system that can help improve the performance of the

student assessment data system.

b. Information

Information is an important commodity for end users. Because the

information that will be generated can meet the wishes of users and can also

overcome existing problems (Sieber & Johnson, 2015). This information can also

be used by internal or external parties. The information analysis is: In the existing

system, the information provided is about reporting data in the form of reports. In

the proposed system, this assessment data system will facilitate the form of

reporting student assessment data as needed.

c. Economy

Economy or economy is the most common motivation for an institution.

The cornerstone for most managers is low cost. The Economic analysis is: The

system to be built will have a good economic impact because the new system will

reduce the costs previously incurred. One of them is the cost of using paper in the

form of so many documents when you have to make reports.

d. Control

Control or the term more to control. That is, the tasks of an information

system need to be monitored and corrected if substandard performance is found.

Controls are used to improve system performance, prevent or detect abuse or

system errors and ensure data security (Oakland, 2014). The control analysis is: In

the system that is being used, control problems such as input of student scores are

not only controlled by the admin but will be managed directly by the subject

teacher, so that the input value has really gone through verification.

e. Efficiency

Efficiency or efficiency is related to how these resources are used with

minimal waste. Therefore, the problem of efficiency requires an increase in output

and yield. Because the existing system can be used properly and has also been

able to produce output as expected. The efficiency analysis is as follows: The

proposed system will make the student score data assessment data system efficient

because it is supported by database storage media (Gómez, Huete, Hoyos, Perez,

& Grigori, 2013).

f. Service

Service or better known as good service can reflect whether an institution is

good or not, so that service must also be taken into account properly.

B. System Implementation and Testing

1. System Implementation

Implementation is the stage where we can see a picture of the analysis that

we make into the real world, so that it will be known whether the implementation

of the system created can actually produce the desired goals.

2. System Application Design Results

The following are some of the results of the system design that has been

made to meet user needs at SMPN 201 Jakarta in the process of student

3. Black Box System Testing

Functional testing that is more commonly used is the Black Box Testing

method whose role is to test software (applications) without knowing the internal

structure of the code or program. In this test, the tester only knows what the

program should do, but does not know how to do it. In black box testing, testing is

carried out based on detailed information from the application, such as the

appearance of the application, the functions that exist in the application, and the

suitability of the function flow with the functions required by the user. Black box

testing is more about testing the appearance (interface) of the application to make

it easier for users to use. This test does not view and test the source code of the

program. The following Black Box testing is described in the table below.

CONCLUSION

The following conclusions are based on the data obtained from the results of the

research that has been carried out, namely that the application has been successfully built

and is recommended for use in the student assessment system at SMPN 201 Jakarta. The

application of a multi-user student assessment data system application at SMPN 201

Jakarta can improve work services and time efficiency in terms of processing student

score data. The student assessment data processing system uses analysis using the

PIECES (Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency and Service) method

in a multi-user manner aimed at making computerization of school activities able to

integrate all school activities.
