Abstract
Form Six Student Information System (FSSIS) was developed for Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan
Tinggi Melaka to assist form six teachers in managing students’ records, subjects registration and
examination marks. FSSIS would be able to generate reports such as subjects registration for each
student in a particular semester, marks obtained by the students in each examination and students’
personal information. These reports can be used by the school to be sent to the respective parents or
guardians. Among the function offered by the system include registration verification, registration and
examination marks update, information search and report generation. The system is developed and
tested using Microsoft Access.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Statement of the Problem

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tinggi Melaka (SMKTM) is one of the schools that offers form
six classes. At present, there are seven classes of Semester 1 students and five classes of
Semester 3 students. The total number of students is 368. Form Six students have to choose
four or more subjects offered by the school. SMKTM is offering 14 subjects which can be
registered.
Parents have been complaining of the delay in receiving examination results. Some parents even
received the results one month after the results. SMKTM has to send the analysis of the
monthly tests and semester examination results to the District Education Department and also to
the chairman of the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA). At this moment, SMKTM is facing
problems sending these reports on time.
1.2 Objectives of the Project

The objectives of this project are as follows:
(i) To develop an information system to manage subjects registration and examination
marks
(ii) To produce examination slips, subject registration and examination marks reports
1.3 Scope of the Project

The scope of the project is to build an information system for Form Six students for Sekolah
Menengah Kebangsaan Tinggi Melaka (SMKTM). The information includes students’ personal
records, subjects offered, registration information such as subjects registered by students and
their scores in semester examinations.
1.4 Planning of Project Development

The Gantt chart as shown in Figure 1.1 shows the main activities and duration of the whole
development of the Form Six student information system. It also shows the milestones, i.e. the
deliveries of the study, the design, the implementation, the testing and debugging, and the

Chapter 2: Analysis of the Problem
2.1 Current System

Currently, the students’ records are managed by the school staff manually. The information is
either kept in the computer using word processor, spreadsheet or written in the teacher’s mark
sheet. Similarly, the score of the students’ results for all subjects are kept manually using a
spreadsheet. The environment of the existing system is shown in Figure 2.1.

3.2 Logical Design of Database

The logical design for any database system normally involves two steps. The first step is to
design the entity-relationship (E-R) diagram of the system. The second step is to verify whether
the respective relational tables mapped from the E-R are normalised to the third normal form.
3.2.1 Conceptual Data Model: Entity-Relationship Diagram

The Conceptual Data Model for FSSIS is composed of the binary relationship between
STUDENT and SUBJECT. The activity or transaction between the two entities is
REGISTER. This is shown in Figure 3.2.

Figure 3.2: The Entity Relationship Diagram using UML notation for
Form Six Student Information System
3.2.2 Normalisation of Database

The entity-relationship diagram shown in Figure 3.2 is mapped into three relations,
namely STUDENT, SUBJECT and REGISTER as shown below.
STUDENT (ICNo, StudentName, Gender, DateofBirth, Address, GuardianName)

REGISTER (ICNo, SubjectCode, Semester, Year, Marks, Form)
SUBJECT (SubjectCode, SubjectName, Description)
The REGISTER relation is formed from the entity-relationship above. Its name is also
derived from the name of the relationship.
Assuming that the address of a student is the same as the address of his/her
parents/guardians, the functional dependencies of the database tables are shown in
Figure 3.3 below.
ICNo  (StudentName, Gender, DateofBirth, Address, GuardianName)
SubjectCode  (SubjectName, Description)
ICNo  (Semester, Year, Marks, Form)

SubjectCode
Figure 3.3: Functional Dependencies of Attributes to the

Primary Key of the Respective Relational Table
From the Figure 3.3, three normalised tables are produced as shown in Figure 3.4.
STUDENT (ICNo, StudentName, Gender, DateofBirth, Address, GuardianName)
SUBJECT (SubjectCode, Subject Name, Description)
REGISTER (ICNo, SubjectCode, Semester, Year, Marks, Form)
Figure 3.4: Third Normal Form of FSSIS Database
43 RESTRICTED
RESTRICTED
The three tables are already normalised in the Third Normal Form as explained below:
(i) First Normal Form (1NF)

There are no repeating groups in each relation, therefore the relations STUDENT,
SUBJECT and REGISTER meet the condition of 1NF.
(ii) Second Normal Form (2NF)

Since all the attributes in the relation STUDENT are functionally fully dependent
on the primary key ICNo, therefore the relation STUDENT meets the condition
of 2NF. Since all the attributes in the relation SUBJECT are functionally fully
dependent on the primary key SubjectCode, therefore the relation SUBJECT
meets the condition of 2NF.
Since all the attributes in the relation REGISTER are functionally fully dependent
on the primary key ICNo and SubjectCode, therefore the relation REGISTER
meets the condition of 2NF.
(iii) Third Normal Form (3NF)

There exists no transitive dependencies in each of the relations; therefore the
relations STUDENT, SUBJECT and REGISTER are in 3NF.
The final relational schema in 3NF is as follows.

4.2.1 Database Tables

Three relational tables are created, i.e. STUDENT, SUBJECT and REGISTER
according to Figure 3.4.
Using a relationship utility (button) provided by the MsAccess package, the three
relational tables are then linked. Relationships between the tables are shown in Figure
4.1. The figure shows the one-to-many relationship between STUDENT and
REGISTER and the one-to-many relationship between SUBJECT and REGISTER.

4.2.2 Form
A form is used for the data entry and display of a record. The student, subject and
registration forms are created. The main menu form is also created.
Normally, one should create the main menu form last, i.e. after the associated forms
have been developed. This will facilitate the attachment of the appropriate forms to the
main menu. STUDENT form is shown in Figure 4.2.
Figure 4.2: STUDENT Form
4.2.3 Report
Reports are generated for different purposes. Students’ reports contain a list of students’
records. Subject reports contain a list of subjects offered by the school.
Registration reports generate examination transcripts and information.
An example of a report for subjects offered is shown in Figure 4.3. An examination
transcript for a particular student in shown in Figure 4.4.
(A report menu that allows option for users shall also be designed. The menu will offer
some choices for users to select. This is shown in Figure 4.3).

4.2.4 Queries
Queries are normally used to retrieve information in accordance with the requirements
of users as to whether the information needed resides in one table or more. In this
system, the examination transcript is derived as a result of a query based on STUDENT,
SUBJECT and REGISTER tables. A query table is shown in Figure 4.6.
Figure 4.6: Query Table of Examination Results
4.2.5 User Interface

The user interface is created as shown in Figure 4.7. The associated Student, Subject,
Registration Information, Report Menu, Print Menu and Exit buttons are attached to the
menu via the respective forms created earlier.

4.3 System Testing

System testing involves inputting a set of personal information on 20 students and their
registration subjects.
4.3.1 Input Data Testing

Input data testing is simulated to test the system. An example of an input data is shown
in Figure 4.8 where the table concerned is STUDENT.

4.3.2 Output Data Testing

The system is simulated to test whether the output data can be produced as stated in the
system specification.

Chapter 5: Discussion and Conclusion
5.1 Strength and Weaknesses of the System

This system is capable of generating all reports that are currently required by teachers and
school administrators, e.g. printing students’ examination transcripts with addresses that are
ready to be posted to parents/guardians.
Nevertheless, the system developed exhibits some limitations. The limitations are as follows:
(i) No information of who (teacher) teaches a particular subject.
(ii) Inaccurate information occurs when the address of a student’s parents/guardians is not
the same as the address of the student. As a result, the transcript that has been posted
does not reach the intended recipient (parents/guardians).
5.2 Suggestions for Further Work

Other reports can also be generated to assist teachers in managing student’s information
effectively. FSSIS can be extended to cover all other classes in the school.
5.3 Closing Remarks

The implemented system has achieved its target objectives. However, the system can still be
further improved in the future.
