FAPA - Ferramenta auxiliar de processos acadêmicos

Abstract

In 2017, the Federal Institute of Bahia started the implementation of a computerized system capable of integrating various administrative and academic processes and information. This system allows the operationalization of important activities. However, there is a lack of information that includes a broader and closer view of the difficulties and potential of the student body. The Class Council, for example, can be a collegiate body able to see the student more broadly, considering aspects that are often not portrayed in the day-to-day of the school. It becomes necessary, then, to enhance alternatives that go beyond the teachers’ notebooks, optimizing the functionalities performed on the board through an automated system and leaving the executions made on paper. The objective of this work is to present a software project that contributes to the academic monitoring of students at the Federal Institute of Bahia - Campus Seabra under a biopsychosocial perspective, in addition to the common records of students’ grades and absences. For this, we chose to conduct interviews in order to identify what needs sectors and civil servants in the academic area have in carrying out their work activities. Then, we use other techniques of Software Engineering to assist in the discernment of the construction project of a tool that is capable to share resources and promote greater efficiency in carrying out internal activities. The proposed implementation of the tool, FAPA, becomes indispensable, since it proved to be able to share information between sectors and academic processes, also enabling gains in efficiency in the migration of processes to the software proposal.
