Summary: | Learning outcomes are statements on what students should know, understand and can
do upon successful completion of a course. Achievement of the learning outcomes is
an important criterion for a programme to be awarded with an accreditation
qualification by Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). Evidence from teaching and
learning evaluation needs to be justified to demonstrate that the learning outcomes have
been achieved. In line with this direction, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the
learning outcomes of final year master’s project according to course learning outcome
and learning domain determined by MQA. This evaluation is carried out by analysing
supervisor’s feedback on their supervised student and student feedback themselves.
The survey instruments were administered for postgraduate learners in the academic
session of 2018, measuring to what extent that course completion has met the learning
outcomes and fulfil the learning domain skills required. To strengthen the evidence,
result obtained from master’s project report awarded by supervisors and reviewers were
compared according to report chapters, programme and learning outcomes perceived.
The findings were discussed to highlight the concern, strength and weakness from the
evaluation made. Several recommendations for continuous improvement and support
were proposed to influence the quality of the course and achievement of the learning
outcomes. |
