Development of Information Systems for a Database of Experts for Research Management: A case study of Research and Development Institute, Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University

Abstract

            The purpose of this research is to 1) develop an information system for a qualified database for the administration of research, 2) study the satisfaction of the information system users for a qualified database for research administration, using a case study of the Institute of Research and Development, and 3) in the field of information system development, use the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) which develops a system in the PHP language in conjunction with an eight-person MySQL database management system. The tools used in the research include expert performance assessments and user satisfaction questionnaires. The statistics used in research include Mean ­values and standard deviations.

            The results showed that the overall image satisfaction assessment was at the highest level (Mean­= 4.61, S.D. = 0.55) divided into four categories. The following: 1) content aspects (Mean­= 4.67, S.D. = 0.48) 2) Perception aspects of the benefits of the use (Mean­= 4.61, S.D. = 0.53) 3) perception of the ease of use (Mean­= 4.60, S.D.  = 0.55) and 4) user interface design aspects. (Mean­= 4.58, S.D.  = 0.53) It suggested that developed systems could help manage skilled researchers more systematically and efficiently.
