Manual attendance systems in educational institutions, particularly in highly disciplined environments such as vocational schools with cadet programs, present significant challenges, including inaccuracy, administrative burden, and susceptibility to fraud. This study addresses these issues by designing and developing a secure mobile attendance application for the Android platform. The development process followed the Waterfall software development model, providing a structured framework from requirements analysis through testing. The proposed solution incorporates a dual-validation mechanism combining Quick Response (QR) Codes for session-specific identification with Geolocation technology to verify users’ physical presence within the designated school area. The application supports multiple user roles, including students, teachers, administrators, and parents, and offers automated attendance tracking for daily roll calls and extracurricular activities. It enables teachers to input attendance for in-class sessions manually. Empirical evaluation confirmed that the application effectively mitigates vulnerabilities inherent in the manual system. The dual-validation approach substantially enhances both the integrity and efficiency of the attendance process, offering a reliable and secure tool for monitoring student discipline. This study provides a practical model for integrating accessible digital technologies to strengthen administrative processes in secondary education contexts.

Ethics Approval

This research was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles for research involving human subjects. The study involved students, teachers, and administrative staff at a vocational high school with a cadet system in Indonesia. Initial data for requirements analysis were gathered through voluntary participation in surveys (by students) and structured interviews (by teachers and staff). Before any data collection, permission was secured from the school's leadership to conduct the research within the institution. All participants were informed about the purpose of the study, the voluntary nature of their involvement, and the confidentiality of their responses. Informed consent was obtained from each participant before they completed the questionnaire or participated in an interview. The study ensured no personal information was collected or shared without permission. All initial survey responses were anonymized and analyzed to protect the participants' privacy.
