Sumario:This research addresses the benefits of integrating a technology-based attendance system based on classroom management techniques (CAMTs and CARs) in the teacher education program in Kuwait. Several areas of attendance research are described, such as the importance of using technology in developing systems-based research, and the development of a technology-based attendance-based program involving CAMTs and CARs, which includes basing the design of the technology-based attendance on three colors, stating procedural applications, and saving and closing procedures. Results indicated that use significantly improved student attendance and achievement in teacher education. Finally, several benefits of using an attendance system are addressed and recommendations are offered for instructors and administrators in teacher education, and for future research.
