Research on the effectiveness test of practical training management platform in practical teaching in colleges and universities

This study focuses on the effectiveness testing of a practical training management system in higher education practical teaching. As educational institutions around the world continue to undergo digital transformations accelerated by COVID-19, conventional training management systems face intricate issues such as fragmented inter-staff communication, inefficient workflows that utilise paper, a lack of real-time monitoring capabilities, insufficient stakeholder coordination, and a multitude of multifactorial problems. The research employed a comprehensive mixed-methods approach integrating systematic software engineering frameworks with equally comprehensive, yet strict, measures of evaluation and testing. A Java-based three-tier Browser/Server architecture platform was developed using Struts2 for MVC separation, Hibernate for object/relational mapping, and MySQL for the Primary DBMS. During testing, the system was put through thirty-two test scenarios and within those tests, the system achieved 94% functional compliance alongside extensive stability and reliability. Results from implementation showcased the following benchmarks: training application processing time decreased by sixty percent, the rate of completed applications among students surged by seventy-five percent, student-teacher communications increased by forty percent, document processing detailed an enhancement of sixty-five percent, and unprecedentedly, errors in processing dropped by eighty-nine percent. Satisfaction surveys revealed student satisfaction at 4.2 out of 5 while faculty reported to be satisfied at 4 out of 5. This study offers replicable methodologic frameworks and quality assurance criteria evidencing systematic approaches in the digital transformation of higher education. It further demonstrates the extent to which methodical development and testing frameworks can improve institutional operational efficiency and user experience.
