A Meta-Model for Strategic Educational Goals

Abstract

Metamodeling technique is adopted widely in different fields related to software and system engineering. A meta-model represents the abstraction of a detailed design at multiple level. It is used in any structured environment ruled by a certain constraints and obligations and instantiate different platform specific domains from a single platform independent domain. This paper proposes a new model-driven approach for generating and analyzing automatically the outcome measures of strategic educational goals model. A new meta-model augmented with arithmetic semantics is created for Strategic Educational Goals where a set of outlines defines the enhancement framework of an academic organization. The vision, mission, program educational objectives and student outcomes are the four common strategic educational goals. These Goals support the performance roadmap to measures the institution situation and progress. The proposed meta-model is used to evaluate the strategic educational goals in a formal way, improve the continuous improvement process in academic organizations and allows the assessment at different level of management.
