Abstract

To improve the quality, transparency, and accountability of educational services, the application of digital technology in school administration has become an important strategy. This study looks at the use of the e-Rapor application at SMPN 4 Muara Wis and how it has an impact on how effective and accurate student assessment practices are. The e-Rapor system, developed by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Indonesia, allows teachers to manage assessment data digitally, create report cards, and synchronize student performance records with the national education database (Dapodik). Direct observation of assessment workflows, in-depth interviews with teachers and school administrators, and analysis of institutional documents are all methods used to collect data using qualitative descriptive methodologies. The results showed that the e-Rapor application significantly reduced the time spent creating reports, reduced calculation errors, and improved the consistency of student evaluation. In addition, the system simplifies administration and improves access to data-driven insights, increasing teacher productivity. However, this study found some problems with adoption. These include educators who do not have enough digital literacy, infrastructure issues such as not having internet access, and early resistance to change. Despite these issues, the results show that the e-Rapor application can serve as an effective tool to improve digital assessment in schools if provided with sufficient training, technical support, and leadership commitment. This research provides practical benefits for policymakers and school leaders who seek to use technology to modernize school management systems. The research also emphasizes the importance of strategic planning to ensure a sustainable digital transformation of schools.
