Research Plan (Ahmed68693)
Education in SQU.
The Instructional Computer Programming is one of the most important courses which are
provided for the students of ILT department at collage of education in SQU. This document will
explain the plan for measuring the quality of the programming course. It will focus on assuring
the quality of the programming course. And the main goal of the research is to identify the
obstacles which prevent the students from achieving the anticipated objectives of the course.
While the main objectives are to Increase the student score over the next coming semesters
At the first for my quality assurance Plan, I will tackle general information about course,
goals, objective and concerns by conducting meeting with ILT department. Second will be
assigning team with different filed to cover all filed of the course. After that will be collecting
data from the three main area of the course. Next will be analyzing gathered data using different
tools like fish-bone diagram. And finally will be presenting data and provide recommendation for
Personal
The course involves many people from the collage as the following:
Students; the main core of the learning process, and who will be the targeted learners for the
course. And to collect data from all of the students, by conducting questionnaire which has
statements for rating scale and open-ended questions to let them express their views and feelings
Instructor: the main facilitator of the learning process. He/she have full controller of the learner's
assessment over the course and familiar with students. An interview will be conducted with
instructor to collocate data about the student's performance, attitude toward the course progress
Lab technicians: person who is responsible for preparing the lab for practical session. Most of
the programing course depended on the computers. So providing continuously maintenance for
the lab will ensure the availability of the computer for users. And for that issue I will conduct
check list with lab technicians to check how regular he/she perform his/her duties. (See Appendix
4)
Curriculum/Training
The course instructor divided the course into theoretical and practical session, and the
1. Recognize basic programming language and be able to create and use classes in VB.NET in a
good way.
2. Develop a VB.NET application that can communicate with a database with minimum error.
While the content provided to the students via two ways, traditional book" Microsoft
Visual C# 2008" as reference for the course and many E-books on Moodle. Also there are many
multimedia like videos on Moodle for the course. Also the students provided with software
"Microsoft Visual studio# 2008" to install the software in their own personal computer to use it in
their own pace. For this area it will be collecting data via observing the methodology of teaching
and learning on this course in each area. (See Appendix 5) Also SME to evaluate the content of
the course,
Environment
There are two learning environment for the course. The first one is the multimedia lab,
which large hall with full computers equipped; include LSD projectors, 32 computers and
speakers. All the computers are connected to the internet with good strength of bandwidth. This
part will be assessed by conducting chick list. (See appendix 6) The second one is Moodle
"LMS" which is an online environment supported by different resources media, videos and
articles related to subject of the course. It is modified by the instructors of the course according to
the way that he used it to support the learning process such as discussion forms, activities and
assignments. So this environment will be assessing according to the way that his utilized for the
course by SME.
Conclusion
To sum up, the strong points in my plan are assigning team which include SME in each
filed and the variety of assessment tools used for each area. While I suggest for the next plan to
include college administers and students from the previous course as personnel to collect more
