THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ACCREDITATION SCORING CALCULATIONS IN ALL WEB-BASED ACCREDITATION AGENCIES

Accreditation is an assessment activity to determine the eligibility of a department and higher education. Accreditation aims to determine the eligibility of departments and universities based on criteria that refer to the national higher education standards and guarantee the quality of departments and universities externally in both academic and non-academic fields to protect the interests of students and the community. All accreditation agencies have different accreditation instruments. The scoring calculation can be done automatically through the application of the respective accreditation agency and can only be seen by the assessment team, while departments and universities cannot see it. so far, universities and departments can only calculate accreditation scores manually using the excell application based on accreditation assessment instruments and matrices. Therefore, the research team wants to create a web-based application that can calculate accreditation scores independently to calculate accreditation assessment scores quickly and accurately.


Introduction
According to Permendikbud Number 5 of 2020, Accreditation is an assessment activity to determine the feasibility of departments and higher education. accreditation aims to determine the eligibility of departments and universities based on criteria that refer to the national higher education standards and guarantee the quality of departments and higher education externally both in academic and non-academic fields to protect the interests of students and the community (Permendikbud, 2020).
Universitas Islam Kalimantan Muhammad Arsyad Al Banjari (Uniska) Banjarmasin is a university located in Banjarmasin city, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Currently, from may 2020 to May 2025, Uniska has received a B accreditation rating from the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT). Uniska has 26 departments including 21 bachelor programs and 5 master programs. All departments are accredited at BAN-PT and the independent accreditation institute.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE
Uniska PPJ-JST The Independent Accreditation Institute, hereinafter abbreviated as LAM, is an institution formed by the government or society to carry out departments accreditation independently while the national accreditation board for higher education, hereinafter abbreviated as BAN-PT, is a body formed by the government to conduct and develop higher education accreditation independently (BAN-PT, 2022). Currently, all departments at Uniska apply for accreditation at BAN-PT, the Independent Accreditation Institute for Health Higher Education (LAM-PTKes), the Independent Accreditation Institute for Education (LAMDIK), the Informatics and Computer Independent Accreditation Institute (LAM INFOKOM), the Accreditation Institute for Engineering Departments (LAM Teknik), and the Independent Accreditation Institute for Business Management and Accounting Economics (LAMEMBA).
All accreditation institutions above have different accreditation instruments (Sugiyono, 2019). Departments accreditation instrument is an instrument that has been valid since april 1, 2019 and has been developed by BAN-PT following the provisions of laws and regulations guided by national higher education standards. All accreditation assessment items refer to accreditation instruments (Sutopo et al., 2019). From these assessment instruments, departments can calculate accreditation assessment scores to obtain accreditation ratings.
The scoring calculation can be done automatically through the application of the respective accreditation agency and can only be seen by the assessment team, while departments and universities cannot see it. So far, higher education (hereinafter abbreviated as PT) and departments can only calculate accreditation scores manually using the excell application based on accreditation assessment instruments and matrices. Therefore, the research team wants to create an application that can calculate accreditation scores independently to calculate accreditation assessment scores quickly and accurately.

Materials and Methods
The steps in creating an application system follow the waterfall method (figure 1).

Figure 1. Waterfall Method
The advantages of this method allow departmentalization and control. The stages in the method are as follow Haekal (2023): 1. Requirement analysis This research was conducted by analyzing system requirements using direct interviews with Uniska quality assurance institute staff to find out the flow of accreditation implementation, conducting document studies in various related journals that needed to be adjusted or added to the system to be built to produce the desired system. 2. System Design After getting the system needs in the previous stage, proceed to design the appearance of the system and determine the system support software. System design is done using the Power Designer application and balsamiq markup.

Implementation
At this stage, the implementation of Front-end and Back-end coding as well as system logic under the predetermined system design. The coding process is done using Bootstrap as the Front End manager or Template and PHP Version 8 and MySQL as the database manager.

Integration and Testing
Then, after the application is ready to use, it is continued with testing the entire system to check for any failures or errors from the excitement in the form of CRUD (Add, Show, Change, and Delete data). This test is carried out by the Blackbox method.

Operation and Maintenance
The last stage involves maintaining or correcting system errors if in the previous testing process errors or non-conformities are found.
To be able to score accreditation accurately, we must collect all appreciation instruments both for Higher Education Accreditation (APT), Departments Accreditation (APS), Conversion Supplement Instruments (ISK), and Accreditation Rating Monitoring and Evaluation Instruments (IPEPA) both at BAN-PT and at Other Independent Accreditation Institutions (LAM). These instruments are then grouped according to their respective criteria and sorted into the same and different instruments.
The point is that all data cannot be the same so that departments that fill in the data have no difficulty in collecting data. Then, to minimize data input, we also work with Institutions and Agencies in Uniska to retrieve or remote the necessary data, which are: With this remote data, department no longer needs to input a lot of data in the application. Department can only update data if it feels that it is not updated or add other data that is not in the systems above. The next step is to create a template or interface (Andie, 2020). In making this interface, we use the CSS framework, namely bootstrap version 5.3 which was the latest version when this system was created. Then, we also named this system with the name Accreditation Data Information System (SIDASI) so that it is easy to access, we also made a Uniska subdomain with the name sidasi.Uniska-bjm.ac.id.
The following is the menu design that will be applied to the application. There are 3 user levels, namely admin, lpm, and departments (Retnosari, Wathani and Andie, 2017). The database is designed and created using its own PHPMyAdmin MySQL-based database application. The following database design will be created shown in table 1-17.           The following is a context diagram formed from the draft Accreditation Data Information (SIDASI) shown in figure 2. The application is created using a Bootstrap 5.0based interface using the basic template of dashtransadmin and the basic appearance as shown in figure 3 (Andie, Hasanuddin and Fikri, 2018).

Results and Discussion
Here are some examples of what the application looks like after completion of the overall work and after testing and repairing the system ( fig. 4).
Testing where the program is tried and run practically to ensure it has been made free of errors (bugs), although there is no possibility of bugs, this test can at least initiate errors that will occur. At this stage, program testing uses a unit testing method with a black-box testing approach.
Black-box testing is an approach to properly test every function in a program. Here are some of the processes carried out, namely: 1. Incorrect functions, both input and output 2. Interface errors 3. Database errors or database access structures After all, systems run normally, system implementation will be carried out to users or users who have been determined, namely departments, assessor, and admin. All processes will be carried out on department accreditation starting in june 2023.

Conclusion
Accreditation Data Information System (SIDASI) applications are designed using the Waterfall method which includes, system needs analysis, system design, system implementation, system testing, and system maintenance. The application is made web-based using PHP programming language version 8.0 assisted by Bootstrap as CSS framework or application display and MySQL as the database manager. The application is designed using 3 user levels, namely Admin, Department, and Assessor. The application is specifically designed for users in the scope of Universitas Islam Kalimantan Muhammad Arsyad Al Banjari Banjarmasin, especially in quality Assurance Institutions. The application runs smoothly and normally after being uploaded to Uniska hosting and with the domain https://sidasi.Uniska-bjm.ac.id/. The result of implementing the system to users as a whole is that 90% of users choose the very good rating.
