The Design of an Online Information System of the Check Stage in Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle for Evaluation of Student Learning in Taiwan Preschools

It is a hard job for two teachers to deal with 30 students in a preschool classroom in Taiwan. Teachers need to take photos and manage paper documents related to each student's activities and assessments, then print all of them to show to their parents. This is not an efficient and effective working style. In order to support e-education and mitigate these issues in the education domain via application of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, this paper thoroughly investigates appropriate features of previous studies related to e-education and the PDCA computing system. It then proposes the design of an online information system for the "check" stage in the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle or OISC for evaluating Taiwanese preschool students' learning. The design is simple and equipped with current technologies such as mobile applications. We provided the details of all components and technologies in this design and how the design works, which is arranged for participants to use as a blueprint of an e-education system such as OISC that can be built upon the participants' requirements. We believe that a system based on our design can help teachers to work effectively and efficiently. Thus, this paper can be regarded as an example of adopting an e-education approach to evaluating and enhancing students' learning performance.
