Determining the Potential of Graduate Analytics Based on the iCGPA System: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

<jats:p>This study was conducted to address the issue of gathering information to track the career and accomplishments of graduates for quality improvement in higher education. Due to the lack of a convenient method to gather information using an efficient mechanism, this study reviewed graduate analytics based on the iCGPA system with the primary aim of examining its potential utility in such a system, and vice versa. A systematic literature review was conducted to integrate the relevant academic literature related to graduate analytics and iCGPA system. Using the PRISMA method, we identified 160 different articles, but only 125 met the specified inclusion criteria. Our analysis of the accepted articles to determine the potential of graduate analytics in iCGPA system, and vice versa, produced zero results where no intersection of the two topics could be found in the research literature from 2011 to 2018. Our findings indicate an acute lack of research in these two areas. However, we believe this gap can be minimized since there are already higher education institutions in Malaysia that are currently implementing the iCGPA system. The implementation could inform us regarding how graduate analytics can be used to expand the value of iCGPA for improving the quality of Malaysian higher education graduates.

Scrutinizing Outcome Assessment of Outcome-based Education using Q-OBE in Engineering Education

“…A systematic literature review was conducted by Othman and Abdullah (2019) with the goal of determining the potential of graduate analytics in CGPA system. The findings of their research indicated a large gap in the research area and highlighted how these systems can be expanded to improve higher education.…”

“…One key challenge in implementing OBE is in its assessment process, where the education programs have to compute students' attainment of learning outcomes as measured from multiple courses offered within each program (Chan, Wang, & Arbai, 2022;Luzan, Titova, Kurok, & Mosia, 2021). Thus, to automate the assessment process (Mohamed-Kassim & Kamaruddin, 2017;Othman & Abdullah, 2019), the university implements Q-OBE (https://qualityobe.com/). Q-OBE is a learning management system (LMS) with a Graphical User Interface (GUI).…”

Systematic Literature Review: An Analysis of Skill Mismatch Measurement

“…The emergence of big data has provided more data to discover. The comprehensive use of the statistical method by analytic systems and software allows the stakeholder such as educational institutions, companies, and governments to make the right decision, especially in solving complicated issues (Othman & Abdullah, 2019). As previous studies of skill mismatch measurement have discovered flaws in measurement, this study will extend the literature on skill mismatch measurement by investigating the trend and use of online job data which includes job advertisements, job portals, and job vacancies as a new way https://doi.org/10.…”
