According to the Ministry of Higher Education, university student residences are facilities that higher education centers have to satisfy the minimum-indispensable needs of students who require the benefits of scholarship status to develop their studies and other oriented activities. A significant number of students are grouped in them for whom an educational work is carried out by certain social actors, who as a specific function of their performance perform personalized attention with them, in which the required effectiveness has not been achieved in the creative application of the "comprehensive approach to educational and political-ideological work". Its application is today limited by the insufficient systematicity with which educational work is developed. Responding to this problem, the objective of this research is to assess the impact of computer science as a support tool in educational work developed in university student residences. Different methods were used, including the analytical-synthetic, historical-logical and inductive-deductive methods and techniques such as observation, survey, and interview, as well as computer tools for software development. As a result, a computer system was obtained that contributed to the improvement of the educational work developed in the university student residences and to decision making, which concluded that the use of computer technologies is a reliable solution for the information.

Las universidades son entidades o sistemas de unidades operativas de enseñanza superior, investigación y creación de cultura científica y humanística que otorga grados científicos y títulos profesionales. Contiene residencias estudiantiles que son centros que proporcionan alojamientos a los estudiantes universitarios. La gestión de la información es un elemento esencial para la toma de decisiones y el correcto funcionamiento de todos procesosy áreas de una universidad. En la actualidad el manejo de la información en la residencia estudiantil de la Universidad de Ciego de Ávila Máximo Gómez Báez presenta deficiencias y debilidades, según se pudo analizar a partir del estudio realizado. El mismo constató que no es posible almacenar grandes volúmenes de información, pues esta se procesa de forma manual y se almacena en fichas de papel que se deterioran con el tiempo, no es posible acceder a la información almacenada de forma rápida y eficiente y la misma no está disponible en el momento que se nesecita. Este análisis permite concretar como objetivo la confección de un sistema informático, utilizando como gestor de base de datos SQLite, ambiente de desarrollo Pycharm y Programación Extrema (XP) como metodología de desarrollo. Las pruebas realizadas al sistema, permiten limar los posibles errores que emergen durante el desarrollo del software y comprobar que el mismo funciona correctamente.
