To sustain an effective outcomes-based internal quality assurance system Dr. PepenArifin Head, Quality Assurance Unit, Institut Teknologi Bandung
Agenda • Outcomes Based Education • Quality Assurance in Education • Design and Implementation of Outcomes - IQA
Definition (1) Program Educational Objectives (PEO) Graduate Profiles Statements that describe the expected accomplishments of graduates during the first few years after graduation • Descriptions of attributes (knowledge, skills and attitudes) of graduates that will develop through their study to equip them for their future education or employment.
Definition (2) Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) Knowledge Statements of what a learner knows, understands and is able to do on completion of a learning process, defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competences, attitudes Outcome of the assimilation of information through learning(theoretical and/or factual knowledge)
Definition (3) Competence Skill Ability to apply knowledge to complete tasks and solve problems(cognitive skills such as logical, intuitive and creative thinking and practicalskills such as manual dexterity and the use of methods, materials, tools and instruments). Proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal, socialand/ or methodological abilities, in work or study situations and inprofessional and / or personal development

Quality Assurance Process and Audit Outcomes/ Standard Audit Gap? Gap Analysis Develop Action Plan Implementation Outcomes/Standard review
Why do we need to assess PLO? • To ensure the systematic collection of assessment data for improving the effectiveness of our program • To demonstrates to stakeholders, how well our students are performing with regard to the learning outcomes
ACTIONPLANNING CHECK DO Outcomes assessment is a continuousprocess
Plan Check Do Action Organize for assessment Analyze results Data collecting Implement change Monitor change and compare results Define program mission Provide feedback Define PEO Review Define PLO Inventory assessment method Chart of assessment process Identify assessment method
Can we use course grade to assess learning outcomes? Course grade focus on measuring the performance of individual students, not the overall effectiveness of the program Course grade represents how well students are doing in a particular subject, focusing on the subject knowledge and skills rather than on the broader program objectives. Course grade generally can not satisfy the characteristics of good measures Course grade does not indicate separately how well students have attained the different generic graduate outcomes such as critical thinking, creative problem solving or teamwork skills, even if such skills are assessed
Direct vs. indirect measurements • Direct measures: Assess student knowledge or skills of course/ program learning outcomes • Indirect measures: Assess students’ learning experiences or perceptions of their learning
Inventory: Direct and indirect method Direct (Required) • Class Assignments: paper, presentation, report… • Capstone Project • Direct Observation • Portfolios • External examiner • Standardized exam • Certification and licensure exams • Theses/Senior papers Indirect (Supplemental) • Surveys • Student survey • Alumni survey • Employer survey • Interview • Focus group • Case study
Guiding Questions for Methods Does the method…… • Measure your learning outcomes? • Measure your learning outcomes accurately? • Provide useful information (implications for educational evaluation and improvement)?
Where to start? • Course related: • Course descriptions • Syllabi • Course objectives • Course assignments • Course exams • Other activities: • Student exit survey • Alumni survey • Employer survey • National Standardized Exams
Syllabus analysis • Identify course objectives • Document those objectives in a table • Faculty complete table for each of their courses
Exam analysis • Identify test items that match course objectives • Calculate overall student performance for each item • Calculate the average performance for items assessing same objective • Determine the level of competence
Assignment analysis • Identify assignment components that match course objectives • Assess student performance for each component • Determine the level of competence
Collect Data This phase involves teaching program and measuring outcomes. • When will measurements be made? • How often will measurements be made? • Who (specifically) will collect the data? • Who will interpret the data? • Where/When will data be interpreted? • Who will report the results? • To whom will results be reported? • By when will results be reported?
Check The purpose of this phase is to: • analyze the results • determine what actions need to be taken to improve the program
Analyze the results • Analysis and interpretation of data Faculty staff • The results are summarized in a meaningful way • The results are annalyzed and reported according to the identified audience
Provide Feedback • Planshould incorporates a feedback mechanism. • The results should be distributed to the facultystaffsto obtain their ideas on how to improve the program. • The faculty will relate the findings with: • Curricular • Teaching initiatives attainment program learning outcomes • Use assessment results to initiate action aimed at improving program.
Act The objective of this step is: • to implement improvements to the program • to prepare for the following assessment cycle
Implement changes • The planned changes should be implemented. • Changes could be in: • Curriculum • Teaching & learning strategies • Staffing • Facilities, etc
Summary of types of changes that may be implemented as a result of conducting assessment Assessment Plan • revision of intended learning outcome statement (s) • revision of measurement approaches • collection of and analysis of additional data and information • changes of data collection methods Curriculum • changes in pedagogical practices • revision or enforcement of prerequisites • revision of course sequence • revision of course content • Addition/deletion of course(s) Academic Processes • modification of frequency or schedule of course offerings • improvements of technology • changes in personnel • implement additional training • other implemented or planned change • revision of advising standards or processes
