Web system in the management of Preprofessional internship in students at the Private University of Trujillo [Sistema web en la gestión de Prácticas Pre Profesionales en los estudiantes de la Universidad Privada de Trujillo]

Abstract

The objective of this study is to improve the management of preprofessional internships for students at the Private University of Trujillo. The Directorate of Professional Development and Job Board, in charge of connecting students with companies for their pre-professional internships, carries out a series of manual processes for this purpose and disseminates them through printed publications in the university's wall newspapers, where on many occasions they go unnoticed. In addition to this, students do not necessarily have classes scheduled every day of the week, losing the opportunity to apply for a job offer that has been recently published and whose time for submitting the file is in a short period of time. As these are printed publications, there is minimal risk of them being lost, damaged or intentionally tampered with, without the management being aware of it. With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and everything that this entailed, since the current government declared a state of national emergency, the Directorate saw a decrease in the population of students eligible for pre-professional internships. The study corresponds to the cross-sectional correlational type, with a variant population for each identified indicator. For statistical analysis, the SPSS Static 21 program was used and the Kolgomorov-Smirnov normality test, Student's t test and Wilcoxon for related samples were used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that the time spent searching for information before the implementation of the web system is greater than the time spent searching after the implementation of the web system (p=0.00). The Rational Unified Process software development methodology was used, supported by the unified modeling language (UML). On the other hand, the time to register pre-professional internship advertisements before the implementation of the web system is greater than the time to search after the implementation of the web system (p=0.00). Also the degree of user satisfaction before the implementation of the web system is lower than the degree of user satisfaction after the implementation of the web system (p=0.00). It concludes with a decrease of 83.02% in the time spent searching for ads; a 57.40% decrease in the time to publish ads, and a 45.51% increase in the level of user satisfaction. All this leads to the conclusion that the implementation of a web system improves the management of pre-professional internships of students at the Private University of Trujillo.
