Aplicación web utilizando la tecnología Stack Mean para la gestión de calificaciones en la Unidad Educativa Fray Bartolomé de las Casas

Abstract

This research presents the development of a web application built with the MEAN stack to optimize grade management at the Unidad Educativa Fray Bartolomé de las Casas. The institution previously relied on manual procedures and outdated tools,which generated delays, inconsistent records, and limited access to academic information. To address these issues, a centralized system was implemented to register grades, attendance, and academic reports with secure, remote access. The Extreme Programming (XP) methodology was selected due to its iterative structure and focus on software quality. Through short development cycles, the main modules were implemented: user administration, academic structure, student registration, bulk data import, grade entry, attendance tracking, and automated PDF reports. The system was deployed in the cloud using Vercel, Render, and MongoDB Atlas, ensuring constant availability and secure data handling. User validation was conducted with teachers and administrative staff, resulting in a System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 81.25, classified as “Excellent.” This outcome reflects a positive perception of ease of use, clarity of functions, and reliability. Participants emphasized reduced processing time, improved accuracy, and immediate access to academic documents. The project demonstrates that a modern web solution based on the MEAN stack enhances academic administration and provides a scalable foundation for future improvements. The results confirm the system’s suitability and its contribution to strengthening digital processes within the institution.
