Using Goals Modeling in Educational Engineering: Application to Course Learning Outcomes Assessment (CLOs) at Aljouf University

Abstract

This research study is inscribed in cycle improvement of training and of academic program for graduates at Aljouf University. So, in this paper, we show how to evaluate academic programs using the goals modeling to assess the course learning outcomes in this university. The academic program evaluation is a complex and multidisciplinary process. It relies on the technical process (requirement engineering that we use in computer and software engineering) and on the other human science activities. Here, we are only interested by the technical aspect of this process. In this study, we use the goal model like it is used by the requirement engineering methods, such as goals-based requirement analysis method (GBRAM), I* and collaborative requirement engineering with scenarios (CREWS) to identify the expected outcomes on the courses. As result, the model that we present here feeds well the process of Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). For experimenting of our approach and model, we present the application of this evaluation process that is conducted at Al-Jouf University, in the department of computer sciences.

Management of internal review processes for the accreditation of academic programs in universities

“…Um total de 45 membros do corpo docente da Universidade Rei Khalid, Universidade de Jazan e Universidade de Najran foram incluídos no estudo. Os dados foram analisados por meio de métodos estatísticos e o estudo rendeu várias conclusões, sendo a mais importante que os docentes geralmente desconhecem os padrões de qualidade para estabelecer programas de estudo (ULKER; BAKIOGLU, 2019) Boukrara (2019),. por sua vez, discutiu os modelos e experiências mais importantes na avaliação de programas e cursos educacionais em instituições estrangeiras.…”
