PERANCANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING SISWA MENGGUNAKAN METODE PROTOTYPE

Abstract

Guidance and Counseling (BK) services play a crucial role in supporting students' academic, social, and personal development. However, BK services at SMK Bina Karya Mandiri Bekasi are still managed semi-manually using Microsoft Word and Excel, potentially leading to recording errors, limited data management, and reporting issues. This study aims to design a web-based student guidance and counseling information system to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of BK service management. The system development method used is the Prototype method, which allows direct user involvement through a continuous feedback process during the design and development stages. The system was developed using the PHP programming language with the CodeIgniter framework and a MySQL database. The research results are a prototype guidance and counseling information system equipped with features for scheduling counseling sessions, recording student counseling history, and generating structured reports. The implementation of this system helps BK teachers manage data more accurately and systematically, and makes it easier for students to access counseling services. Thus, the developed system is expected to improve the quality of guidance and counseling services in schools
