The purpose of this study is to develop a web-based database system to manage effectively data collected to evaluate program learning outcomes (PO) in a nursing school. The database management system (DBMS) was developed using a software development life cycle method: Analysis, Design, Implementation, and Evaluation. The demands for the content and system of users were collected. The system structure, database using an entity-relationship modeling, and user interface were designed based on the demands. The designed DBMS was created using GWT, Java and Apache HTTP server. The expert group and users evaluated the implemented DBMS. Problems derived from them were modified. The average of end-user computing satisfaction evaluated by 8 nursing faculty and 5 teaching assistants was 4.14 (SD =.44). The web-based PO DBMS makes it possible for nursing faculty members to access and use much of the information needed for analysis and decision-making.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
