Abstract

The process of New Student Admission (PPDB) in many educational institutions, including kindergartens (TK), is still carried out manually or semi-computerized using Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, making it prone to data-entry errors, document loss, and time-consuming procedures. This condition also occurs at TK Al-Fattah, which does not yet have a web-based registration system, resulting in an inefficient and less transparent administrative process for new student admission. This study aims to design a Web-Based New Student Registration System at TK Al-Fattah by applying the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, chosen for its ability to produce a system within a relatively short development time, involve active user participation, and flexibly accommodate changing requirements. The research method consists of requirements planning, user design, construction, and cutover stages, supported by design tools such as Unified Modelling Language (UML), Data Flow Diagram (DFD), and Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). The designed system includes account registration, input of student and parent data, upload of required documents, and online monitoring of admission status. Black-box testing confirmed that all core functional scenarios operated as expected, indicating that the resulting system is technically reliable for further implementation. The design results are expected to make it easier for prospective students and parents to register without having to come directly to the school, while also helping TK Al-Fattah manage registration data more quickly, accurately, and transparently. This study is also expected to broaden the application of the RAD method in early childhood education, which has so far been more widely applied at the secondary education level.
