The Evaluation of Data Warehouse and Business intelligence for Quality Assurance of Education Institutes in the Northern Region, Thailand.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study the performance evaluations in Data Warehouse
and Business intelligence System (DWBIS) of education quality assurance among schools in the
northern region of Thailand. This project was used for identifying evaluation indicators and criterias
to assess system efficiency which compliance with targets of education institutes management,
and study consequences and provide recommendations regarding usage of DWBIS in schools. The
samples were selected by purposive sampling method; samples included school directors, teachers
and student. Data collection tools consisted of the 6-scale evaluation form that was analyzed
by using frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation as well as inferential
statistics including One-way Analysis of Variance (One-way ANOVA) and Scheffe’s pairwise analysis.
The average score of DWBIS is 3.87 was considered as good. Analysis of variance is used to test the
mean of DWBIS of large, medium and small schools by using F-test and one-way ANOVA. All results
have shown that the performances of DWBIS in various school sizes were relatively different at .05
significance level and researchers have tested all data One Way ANOVA at significant level of 0.05.
The results of the experiment have shown that the average of information system performance
of school directors was not significantly different. On the other hand, both teachers and students
were different. However, by using the Shceffe’ multiple comparisons, it has been found that the
average of the information system performance of each group was not different. These results
have corresponded to the research hypothesis. The benefits of this research can be applied to
school that interest to improve their DWIS quality assessment system. By having an empirical data
to improve and guide that DWIS system can give efficiency and effectiveness accordance with the
requirement of educational institution.
