This study used survey research design to explore the purposes and outcomes of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) degree programs in the Philippines. Using purposive sampling of professors and students, this study identified the ability of IT education to meet its purposes by way of validating its current outcomes. The study also provided a clear indication of how the outcomes were perceived differently based on how the respondents experienced the actual IT education curriculum. Although the results show some favourable agreements among the respondents, statistical findings reveal underlying issues related to the implementation of outcomes-based IT education system in the country. This calls for the active role of higher education institutions (HEIs) offering BSIT programs to take another, more careful look at the entire curriculum structure of the degree program, as it serves as the foundation of effective and efficient IT education, which will lead towards sustainable national development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
