Digital Transformations in Vocational High School: A Case Study of Management Information System Implementation in Banda Aceh, Indonesia

Abstract

This study examines the digital transformation in vocational education through the implementation of a Management Information System (MIS) in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Focused on enhancing educational administration and decision-making, the study provides insightful analysis on the integration of MIS in State Vocational High School (SMK), specifically SMKN 1 and SMKN 3 in Banda Aceh. A purposive sampling method was employed for usability testing. The questionnaire-based usability test revealed high reliability and positive user responses across multiple indicators. Data analysis affirmed the system's high user satisfaction, effectiveness, and ease of use. Despite limitations, the study highlights the significant potential of well-designed MIS in improving operational efficiency and user satisfaction in educational settings. Future research directions include expanding the sample size, conducting longitudinal studies, incorporating qualitative methods, and exploring the impact on educational outcomes, to enhance the generalizability and depth of understanding regarding the role of MIS in education.
