| Summary: | Emerging results of a tracer study conducted at Open University Malaysia (OUM) revealed that
the four aspects, namely curriculum design, assessment system, teaching and learning and
facilities provided by the university are significant factors contributing to the development of
lifelong learning skills. The four predictor model explains 41.1% of the variance in the
development of lifelong learning skills; this implies that there are other contributing factors
which have not been included in this study. Among others, OUM needs to collaborate with
employers to align its programmes’ curriculum design with the requirements of the workplace;
to encourage use of open learning and flexible delivery in its teaching and learning; to practice
assessment which evaluates what rather than how much has been learned; which stresses
timely constructive feedback that results in congruence between course aims and learning
outcomes. Computer-based facilities including the digital library help the institution to produce
graduates who are equipped with lifelong learning skills. (Abstract by authors) |
