SCHOOL MONITORING

Resumo

THE "SCHOOL MONITORING" SOFTWARE IS AN INNOVATIVE PROPOSAL THAT AIMS TO MONITOR THE STUDENT'S
SCHOOL BEHAVIOR. IT OFFERS FACILITIES SUCH AS VIEWING GRADES AND A REAL-TIME CHAT FOR PARENTS OR
GUARDIANS TO CONTACT EDUCATORS AT ANY TIME. THIS WORK INVOLVED RESEARCH AND INTERVIEWS WITH
PARENTS AND EDUCATORS, AS WELL AS A PRESENTATION AT SINACEN OF THE UNIVERSITY CENTER OF
ANÁPOLIS.
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO ALLOW PARENTS OR GUARDIANS TO BE MORE AWARE OF THEIR CHILDREN'S
BEHAVIOR AT SCHOOL, FACILITATING THE MAKING OF APPROPRIATE DECISIONS. THE "SCHOOL MONITORING"
ALSO AIMS TO BRING PARENTS AND EDUCATORS CLOSER TOGETHER AND INFORM PARENTS ABOUT THE
DIFFICULTIES THEIR CHILDREN MAY ENCOUNTER IN SCHOOL LIFE.
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE APPLICATION, WE USED A USER-CENTERED APPROACH, CONDUCTING
RESEARCH WITH PARENTS AND EDUCATORS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS AND CHALLENGES. BASED ON
THIS INFORMATION, WE CREATED A SET OF REQUIREMENTS AND FUNCTIONALITIES. WE CHOSE THE AGILE
SCRUM METHODOLOGY AND HELD MEETINGS WITH THE TEAM TO DECIDE ON THE BEST FEATURES FOR THE
APPLICATION'S MVP.
DESPITE THE EXISTENCE OF SIMILAR APPLICATIONS ON THE MARKET, OUR PROPOSAL BRINGS AN
INNOVATION: IT ALLOWS PARENTS OR GUARDIANS TO BE AWARE OF THEIR CHILD'S BEHAVIOR AND DIFFICULTIES,
ENABLING THEM TO TAKE THE BEST MEASURE TO SOLVE THESE SITUATIONS. THE INTERVIEWS MADE IT
CLEAR THAT OUR AUDIENCE WANTS TO KNOW RECURRENTLY HOW THEIR CHILD IS BEHAVING AT SCHOOL AND IF
THEY ARE FACING ANY DIFFICULTY, EITHER IN ACTIVITIES OR IN RELATION TO OTHER COLLEAGUES.
