Abstract

The absence of an effective attendance recording system presents a formidable challenge for educators and educational institutions, leading to disruptions in class schedules, timetables, and apprehensions regarding faculty information security. This study proposes the development of a mobile application for teacher attendance management, integrating biometric authentication and geolocation verification to bolster security in the registration process. Evaluation of the application, conducted with 24 participants at the National University of Trujillo, underscores a 95% accuracy rate in biometric authentication and a notable reduction in registration time, averaging at 32.68 seconds. Moreover, survey results reflect a favorable perception of security among users, consolidating acceptance and trust in the implementation of this pioneering technological solution.
