Abstract

The rapid digital transformation in the education sector necessitates the effective utilization of Management Information Systems (MIS) by educational staff. This study evaluates the effectiveness of digital-based technical guidance in enhancing MIS competencies among administrative personnel. A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected from 24 participants through pre-test and post-test assessments, surveys, and institutional records. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants' knowledge, with post-test scores increasing from an average of 3.21 to 4.45. Participants reported a 35% reduction in data entry errors and a 27% decrease in administrative processing time, demonstrating the training’s impact on institutional efficiency. Additionally, the system utilization rate improved by 26%, highlighting increased confidence and adoption of digital tools. Findings further suggest that structured training programs lead to high participant satisfaction, with an overall rating of 4.33 out of 5. However, time allocation for practical exercises was identified as a challenge, indicating the need for more extensive hands-on sessions. Despite these positive outcomes, the study acknowledges limitations such as a small sample size and reliance on self-reported data. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts and assess the role of continuous training programs in sustaining digital competencies. This study underscores the critical role of technical guidance in equipping educational staff with essential digital skills, ultimately enhancing institutional performance. By implementing structured and continuous training programs, educational institutions can optimize digital transformation efforts and improve administrative efficiency. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and educators aiming to foster digital literacy in academic environments.
