Assessment of Learning Outcomes in the University Quality Management System

Abstract

The main criterion for increasing the competitiveness of educational institutions in the educational services market is the high level of training of graduates. In the context of the competency-based approach used to form a new model of graduates, their preparation for professional activity is important. To improve the efficiency of the educational process and the activities of the modern institution of higher education as a whole, to achieve quality goals and obtain results for stakeholders, it is rational to introduce quality management systems. When forming a model for assessing competencies, it is necessary to take into account that competencies are crosssubject in nature, require the use of a variety of assessment tools, methods and assessment scales. Requirements for the results of mastering the educational program are presented in the form of a set of competencies, distributed by type of professional activity for which graduates are preparing. Therefore, a competency assessment model using a generalized (integral) indicator is needed. The analysis of the results of competency formation for an individual student group revealed the most rational directions for future professional activity, timely adjustment of the learning process to increase the success of graduates in the labor market.

Reinforcing the Process of Total Quality Management of Students Learning Outcomes Assessment: An Advanced Diploma Complements for Engineering Educational Programs

“…Learning outcomes are the primary criterion for enhancing the competitiveness of educational institutions in the educational services market (Glushak et al 2015;Langstrand et al 2015). Learning outcomes do not measure the amount of information gained but the ability of students to act correctly in different circumstances, even in uncertain situations, to achieve the best results (Nazina et al 2020). Innovation is developed through Proceedings of ADVED 2022-8th International Conference on Advances in Education, Istanbul, Turkey 10-12 October 2022 confidence, self-improvement, and a positive mindset to be decisive steps in engineering learning (Kang et al 2011).…”
