Web-Based System for Growth and Development Monitoring Early Childhood

Abstract The golden age and sensitive period in a child occurred at the age of zero to six years and it is the ages that children can quickly absorb knowledge around them. In this age, however, children are susceptible toward the arising deviation symptoms in their growth and development. Therefore, the deviation symptom in children should be detected as early as possible in order that it will not be permanent and the proper intervention and stimulation can be immediately administered. This study aimed to construct an information system based on the web in order to conduct either screening or detection for the children’s growth and development using Pre-screening Development Questionaire method. The method employed in this study is the one developing waterfall software. It consists of four steps, they are analysis, design, and test to the system. It is then the testing method using Black Box Testing and System Usability Scale (SUS). Based on the usability test on 30 child-caregiver respondents by employing SUS method, it was obtained score 78.33, meaning that the system can be accepted and included in the category of good-excellent.
