QUALITY IMPROVEMENT APPROACH FOR REVIEWING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CURRICULA
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
It is common to adopt group discussions when determining whether a curriculum conforms to the needs for cultivating students’ competences; however, definitive methods of analysis that can confirm the correlation between competences and curricula are lacking. The purpose of this research was to introduce a quality improvement approach of core competence and curricula for student employment that could be used to continuously review the curricula for information management. The research methods included the establishment of core competences via behavioural event interviews, focus groups and the investigative research method, as well as an exploration of the curriculum for student employment used in technological universities and the establishment of a quality improvement approach based on Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). The research obtained six items of core competences and six types of curricula for employment, and established a quality improvement approach for core competence and curricula based on the results of GRA.
