Educational Management Information System (EMIS)
1 - 12 March 2010
The expansion of education systems has been accompanied by an emergence of multiple levels of decision-making. While the former trend increases the amount of data to be handled, the latter implies the multiple levels where data are demanded. Efforts towards decentralization have also contributed to this. There is now an increasing demand for developing Educational Management Information Systems (EMIS) and for data use to monitor progress and evaluate outcomes.
EMIS integrates all information related to educational planning and management activities which are available from various sources. The organization of EMIS involves collection, processing, storage, retrieval, analysis and dissemination of data. This course is designed to enable participants to acquire necessary knowledge and skills in the building and use of information systems for all levels of education and administration.
The course focuses mainly on:
- Characteristics of the Educational Management Information System (EMIS).
- Instruments and different steps for collecting information and data from educational institutions.
- Basic tools for building an information system and basic procedures for database management.
- Definition and calculation of indicators and designing a system of educational indicators for follow-up, evaluation and monitoring.
- Designing and preparing a document presenting indicators using graph techniques and analysis.
