Abstract :
The present study aimed to explore the lived experience of elementary school teachers about the Quality of the Shad program management information system in the form of a phenomenological study. The qualitative research design was implemented using the descriptive phenomenological method. The research population consisted of 17 teachers with teaching experience in Shiraz in 2021. Their selection was performed through a purposeful sampling approach and standard sampling method. The data collection method was a semi-structured interview. The criteria of acceptability and reliability of qualitative data were used to measure the initial validity of the data. After coding the data, the theme analysis method (basic, organizing, and global themes) was used to form a network of quality themes for the Shad program management information system. The five organizing themes were experiences related to students’ academic performance, students' behavioral interactions, students' evaluation experiences, and teachers’ teaching, experiences related to parents, and finally, an exploratory model in a global theme called system quality. Considering the necessity of online teaching in all grades, especially elementary school, it is suggested that policymakers and educational planners first provide the necessary technological infrastructure for the trustees of the field of education and measures such as knowledge of the management information system in the Shad program and how to use it. It is desirable to create a two-way teaching environment, create a student evaluation system, improve the speed of programs, and so on to see the effective results of such systems.
