4. Course Learning Outcomes in NQF Domains of Learning and Alignment with Assessment Methods

and Teaching Strategy

Course Learning Outcomes, Assessment Methods, and Teaching Strategy work together and are aligned.

They are joined together as one, coherent, unity that collectively articulate a consistent agreement

between student learning, assessment, and teaching.

The National Qualification Framework provides five learning domains. Course learning outcomes are

required. Normally a course has should not exceed eight learning outcomes which align with one or more

of the five learning domains. Some courses have one or more program learning outcomes integrated into

the course learning outcomes to demonstrate program learning outcome alignment. The program learning

outcome matrix map identifies which program learning outcomes are incorporated into specific courses.

On the table below are the five NQF Learning Domains, numbered in the left column.

First, insert the suitable and measurable course learning outcomes required in the appropriate learning

domains (see suggestions below the table). Second, insert supporting teaching strategies that fit and align

with the assessment methods and intended learning outcomes. Third, insert appropriate assessment

methods that accurately measure and evaluate the learning outcome. Each course learning outcomes,

assessment method, and teaching strategy ought to reasonably fit and flow together as an integrated

learning and teaching process. Fourth, if any program learning outcomes are included in the course

learning outcomes, place the @ symbol next to it.

Every course is not required to include learning outcomes from each domain.

academic advice. (include amount of time teaching staff are expected to be available each week)

Three contact hours per week.

Meeting with the students during the office hours (8-10 hrs. each week).

Suggested verbs not to use when writing measurable and assessable learning outcomes are as follows: Consider Maximize Continue Review Ensure Enlarge Understand Maintain Reflect Examine Strengthen Explore Encourage Deepen

Some of these verbs can be used if tied to specific actions or quantification.

Suggested assessment methods and teaching strategies are: According to research and best practices, multiple and continuous assessment methods are required to verify student

learning. Current trends incorporate a wide range of rubric assessment tools; including web-based student

performance systems that apply rubrics, benchmarks, KPIs, and analysis. Rubrics are especially helpful for

qualitative evaluation. Differentiated assessment strategies include: exams, portfolios, long and short essays, log

books, analytical reports, individual and group presentations, posters, journals, case studies, lab manuals, video

analysis, group reports, lab reports, debates, speeches, learning logs, peer evaluations, self-evaluations, videos,

graphs, dramatic performances, tables, demonstrations, graphic organizers, discussion forums, interviews, learning

contracts, antidotal notes, artwork, KWL charts, and concept mapping.

Differentiated teaching strategies should be selected to align with the curriculum taught, the needs of students, and

the intended learning outcomes. Teaching methods include: lecture, debate, small group work, whole group and

small group discussion, research activities, lab demonstrations, projects, debates, role playing, case studies, guest

speakers, memorization, humor, individual presentation, brainstorming, and a wide variety of hands-on student

learning activities.

G Course Evaluation and Improvement Processes

1 Strategies for Obtaining Student Feedback on Effectiveness of Teaching

Students survey-Course evaluation

Students survey- Instructor evaluation

2 Other Strategies for Evaluation of Teaching by the Program/Department Instructor

Course Report

Evaluation through Quizzes results

Evaluation through Mid-term exams results

Evaluation through homework assignments.

Use of questioners at the end of the semester to assess the instructor.

3 Processes for Improvement of Teaching

Preparing the course file.

Preparing course report by the end of each semester.

Acting on the results of the surveys and questioners.

Improving the selection criteria for the faculty staff.

4. Processes for Verifying Standards of Student Achievement (e.g. check marking by an independent

member teaching staff of a sample of student work, periodic exchange and remarking of tests or a sample

of assignments with staff at another institution)

Comparison of student performance with those of previous years.

Check marking by an independent faculty member of a sample of student work,

Providing samples of all assessment material in course portfolio.

5 Describe the planning arrangements for periodically reviewing course effectiveness and planning for

improvement.

Assessment and evaluation of the level of achieving the course outcomes through a

continuous improvement process (part of a quality assurance system established by the

university).

Consequently, actions are to be taken to improve the course delivery when necessary.

Review of the course objectives, outcomes and curriculum periodically.
