APPLICATION OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the impact of the Information System (IS) on the improvement of the
teaching of undergraduate studies. This research is based on the survey methodology on the application of IS in
teaching, methods and techniques of analysis and systematization of knowledge. According to the data of the
research described in the paper, it is possible to investigate the correlation between IT competences of teachers and
the assessment of their impact on the achievements or teaching efficiency of students. Besides, we are particularly
interested in investigating the degree to which IS impacts the undergraduate students’ motivation and satisfaction in
the teaching process. The impact of e-communication on gaining knowledge, monitoring, evaluation and reporting
on the undergraduate students’ improvement is analysed. The paper also presents the analysis of the research results
on the application of IS and its impact on gaining knowledge as well as the undergraduate students’ motivation and
satisfaction increase.
The main objectives of the research include:
 phase development of IS for applications in ICS areas of Information Technologies;
 investigating basic knowledge of the IS application in the teaching process of undergraduate studies among
students in academic and vocational studies at the Faculty of Technical Sciences (FTS) in Čačak,
University of Kragujevac;
 identifying the respondents’ interest in IS if they do not recognize the IS application;
 recognizing the possibilities of applying IS in the teaching process and their impact on the improvement of
teachers’ skills and competneces, i.e. on education and improvement of the teaching process;
 activating social groups with specific educational needs, which includes gaining knowledge and the About
the comparison of opinions from two involved parties (teachers and students) in the teaching process
presents autor presents in the his paper Iljazi T., 2022.
 development of lifelong learning and education.
The questionnaire is used to collect the data necessary for the research. It was organized to identify the level of
knowledge about the application of IS when teaching students of the Information Technology study programme at
the academic and vocational studies at FTS in Čačak, the University of Kragujevac. The research was realised
within IT subjects with first-year and second-year students of FTS in Čačak.
According to the International Classification of Standards (ICS) IT has 15 subfields of ICS2, one of which is
software development (ICS2 = 35,080). Students’ involvement in the IS application is considered to be the most
important element of the teaching process improvement, especially in the fields of Information Technologies ICS1 =
35. Precautionary measures are the most important part of the whole process and it takes a lot of time to realise
them. The period of realisation is different depending on the person who is in charge of realisation as well as the
means for their implementation. These measures can affect students in great measure and if they are conducted
appropriately, they will enable the best possible results.
The model of the IS impact on the improvement of the teaching process has been presented as an important factor
for directing learners towards IS application.
