Electronic registers in the school and determinants of their effective implementation

Abstract

One of the assumptions of this article is the proposition that there is no turning back from tools such as electronic registers in schools, given current social and technological determinants, organisational, technical and humanistic aspects as well as the necessity to improve the quality of school management and educational processes. The article discusses selected results of a study into the functioning of the e-register as an electronic system designed to support management processes and to improve record-keeping of the educational process at educational establishments. The study was conducted among head teachers, teachers, students from selected schools in the Silesian province as well as their parents. The article comprises a discussion of theoretical issues, literature research, a review of software available in the market, and a statement of the objectives, the subject and results of empirical research.
