Performance

1. The pass rate, dropout rate, and average time to graduate are established, monitored, and benchmarked for improvement.

 The program coordinator has a map of  all the enrollees in the program and monitors their progress. The students are reminded of their progress in their thesis preparation and the courses to enrol  in. There is a significant number of students who enrolled but dropped out from the program. It was observed that there are students who attempted to enrol but never attended the program, even if they passed the interview. It is noted that  there are dropouts outs in the  list of students. There is a recorded drop out rate. Since there is an observable rate of students who drop out of the course, the program should find out the reasons for the occurrence of such. 

2. Employability, self-employment, and advancement to further studies are established, monitored, and benchmarked for improvement.

There are no graduates yet in this program, but a process has been established to monitor their progress in the school where they are employed. The  enrollees in the  MEd-LMS program are teachers in basic education, so they link the theory learned  in the program with their teaching practice.  This  is so– called work integrated learning ( WIL). All delivering lecturers see to it that projects are linked to their teaching practice. The best assessment is with the aid of e-portfolio reporting. It is observed that the students continue to involve themselves in the academic practice to improve their skills.

3. Research and creative work output and activities carried out by the academic staff and students are established, monitored, and benchmarked for improvement.

  All courses require academic output from students at all year level.  Every year, academic outputs are varied and continually improved.  The academic outputs are in the form of   seminars , research, and teaching materials.  The academic outputs  such as research, are presented and evaluated  by the lecturers and also by peers. Seminars in which the students and their lecturer are evaluated by all participants. Last year (2022), the seminar handled by the MEd-LMS students was done online using google meet. There are also projects that are linked to their work as teachers and department heads in the schools where they teach. However, the research of students  can also be published so that it will undergo peer review if submitted to journal publications.

 All the program instructors produced research over the past year. There are also studies produced by teaching instructors in the last five years. 

4. Data are provided to show directly the achievement of the program outcomes, which are established and monitored.

The program head and the dean monitor the thesis writers and assign their advisers in thesis writing. The thesis writings 1 and 2 can assess all the learning outcomes. For morals and ethics, if the students avoid plagiarism  in their writing, this is shows that they are showing awareness of morals and ethics in academic writing, a character that should be exhibited by academicians. Knowledge and intellectual skill is exhibited through the development of the theoretical and conceptual framework , analysis of results, and conclusion development. The numerical and IT skills are evident in the application of statistics and use of technology in research, and more importantly, in the use of the internet in their search for supporting literature. The communication skill is evidenced by their technical writing and reporting . Finally, ,the processing and analysis of data using techniques is evidence of numerical and IT skills.

However, the data will be generated later, when the students graduate from the program.

5.  Satisfaction levels of the various stakeholders are established, monitored, and benchmarked for improvement.

There are no graduates yet in this program. There is no data generated for the satisfaction levels of stakeholders. However, this can be monitored by the survey form, which contains the standard learning outcomes on moral and ethics, knowledge and intellectual skills, interpersonal relationships, and the numerical and IT skills. These skills matches with the learning outcomes stipulated in TQF 2. If there is data generated in the future, the result of the survey will be used for the improvement of the curriculum and its delivery.

6. Academic services outcomes / providing local and social benefits are shown.

The program usually has a set of possible academic services in the community. Due to the pandemic, there was a significant neglect of this endeavor. So as a substitute, the students were advised to integrate their academic services into the community at their worksite. They are advised to increase this endeavor as much as possible and report it in their electronic portfolio. The program administrators review the e-portfolios of the students to monitor their endeavors  in their workplaces. Being teachers in basic education, the students in the program continue to involve themselves in academic services for local community  improvement.

7. Arts and culture learning outcomes are shown.

As a normal process,  the students in the program come only on Saturdays and Sundays so they cannot join the  regular school activities that promote Arts and Culture . Again, they can continue filling up their e portfolio on new endeavors that they are involved in. This shows that there is always regular involvement of the student in activities that promote Arts and Culture. As an improvement in the future, the program should continue the regular activities where students of the program can participate in this processes to develop their awareness of the preservation of Culture and the Arts.
