CRITERION 2 PROGRAMME LEARNING OUTCOME

C2-4 Describe the processes used to establish and review the Programme Outcomes and the
extent to which the programme’s various stakeholders are involved in these processes.

F. Establishment and Review of Programme Learning Outcomes

The process of developing PEOs and PLOs are managed by DPE, including developing curriculum for all
programmes. Procedures for establishing and reviewing PLOs are carried out in conjunction with the
establishment and review of PEOs. Details of the procedures in the establishment of the PLO are as discussed
in section C1-4D. For the PLO review process, it will be concurrently reviewed by PEO, which involves the same
committee. The details are described in section C1-5E.

C2-5 Describe the data gathered and explains the results of the assessment.

G. Programme Learning Outcomes Attainment Evaluation Tools

The evaluation on the attainment of the Programme Learning Outcomes will be mainly based on the Direct
Measurement methods. Since the Course Learning Outcomes are the performance criteria used, it is evaluated
first using the grades of all assessments conducted. Assessment methods such as final examination, mid-term
examinations, assignments, projects, presentations and laboratory reports are conducted as for each course.
All assessments, except the final examination, will be conducted throughout the semester.

All examination questions, both final and mid-term, will be vetted to ensure that all Course Learning Outcomes
and the Taxonomy Levels are met. The vetting process will be performed by selected panels and reported in
the Exam Questions Checking and Approval Form. The panels will consist of both senior and junior academic
staffs, with representatives from different polytechnics within the institution.

Every assessment undertaken by the students will be mapped to the related Course Learning Outcomes. The
mappings of the marks/ grades obtained by the students will be used to measure the attainment of the Course
Learning Outcomes. For the evaluation of the course, average marks of the class are used. If the evaluation of
an individual student considered, then the marks/ grades obtained by that particular student will be used.

Once the evaluation of the Course Learning Outcomes has been performed, the attainments of the
Programme Learning Outcomes can be measured. This is performed using the Course Learning Outcomes –
Programme Learning Outcomes matrix in the Course Outcome Review Report (CORR) developed in end of the
semester. The evaluation for each individual course will be performed by the Subject Leader.

H. Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs) Attainment Reporting

All the courses in DEP programme has its own Course Learning Outcomes (CLO). The CLOs are mapped to the
assessment tasks and PLOs. The mapping between the CLOs and PLOs establishes the base for measuring the
outcomes. The results are collected from assessment tasks. They are, then, evaluated to measure the
achievements of both CLOs and PLOs. PLO measurements contribute to the total outcome achievement for the
overall programme.
The continuous assessments evaluate the student knowledge, skills and affective domains that directly
measure achievement of expected outcomes. These include quizzes, end of chapters, tutorials, theory tests,
practical work, practical tests, presentations and projects. Different CLOs can be assessed concurrently in one
assessment task, but each outcome is evaluated separately. Rubrics for skills and effective domains are
developed in order to standardize the measurement of performance. Besides continuous assessments, the
final examinations also carry marks for the CLO of the courses. The final examination only evaluates the
students’ knowledge.
The group attainment for all CLOs and PLOs for each course is evaluated in end of the semester, which set at
minimum achievement of 50%. Course Outcome Review Report (CORR) and Programme Outcome Review
Report (PORR) are utilised systematically as a source for the continual improvement of the programme. The

areas needing improvement are identified and the corrective measures are suggested to be implemented on
the following semester.
All the marks from the continuous assessments and the final examinations are keyed in using a system called
Polytechnic Information Management System (SPMP). This system is a web based system which can be
accessed by using both internet and intranet at http://spmp.psis.edu.my/. The PO achievement can be
accessed in the i-exam platform http://spmp.psis.edu.my/uexam2/dokumen/flowchartMQA_CLOPLO.pdf.

DEP PSIS through Polytechnic Information Management System (SPMP) measures the attainment of PLOs at
course, student, and programme levels. Figure C2-4B below illustrates the PLO Final Attainment reporting of
studies.
The system enables to measure the attainment of PLOs at course level by examining student’s attainment with
respect to each Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) of the course; as stipulated in the Course Syllabus as
example in APPENDIX C2-4A. The CLOs attainments are based on the assessment methods used for the
Course; and the marks obtained will represent the attainment for each CLO. Course Performance Indicator was
set to dictate the attainment level for the course. Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) attainments for the
Course are then analysed for the Course Continuous Quality Improvement purposes. APPENDIX C2-4B shows
the system snapshots describing the Student’s CLO Attainment at Course level.

For the Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs) Attainment Reporting, the previous information on Student’s
Course Leaning Outcomes (CLOs) attainment were used to indicate the PLOs achievement (based on the
Course – PLOs mapping/ matrix for the programme). PLOs attainment reporting will indicate student’s
achievement towards PLOs for the Course, contributing to the overall programme attainment.

APPENDIX C2-4C shows the system snapshots describing the Student’s PLO Attainment at Course level. SPMP
Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs) attainment reporting at Programme level, describing student’s PLOs
attainment on a semester basis based on the courses taken for that particular semester; and the graphical
representation of PLOs attainment that includes the Performance Indicator for each PLOs. Lecturers and
course coordinators for each course will identify areas to be improved based on each achievement of CLOs and
discuss Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) activities. Course coordinators for each course will propose CQI
activities to the Program Head.

Later, the Program Head will discuss CQI with the Head of Department and the completed CQI action plan then
submitted to the Department of Academic Council Committee. Once approved, CQI initiatives are presented to
departmental staff in department meetings, and CQI will be implemented in the next semester by lecturers per
course. Among the steps taken as CQI improvements include reflective modules, comprehensive question-
based training books and reduced student capacity for critical courses to ensure teaching and learning
workshops and student excellence workshops. The impact of CQI on student achievement is on the next
semester PLORR, especially in the targeted course. Examples of achievements and implementation of Program
Learning Outcomes are shown in the APPENDIX C2-4D.

The last category is Specialization Area which consists of specific sub-fields for specific diploma programme that will
be developed on the specific knowledge and skills of the programme graduates. The sub-field of Specialization for
Diploma in Electronic Engineering (Communication) is the Principles of Communication, Antenna and Simple
Transmission, Data Communications System, Optical Communications System, Microwave System, Wireless
Communication System and Signal and System.

CDD has developed a program structure based on BoK in line with the outcome. Programme structure is a course
schedule in sequence that contains component information, course code, credit points and meeting hours that will
guide lecturers in planning teaching and learning activities. Programme structure is divided into six semester study
plans as shown in Table C3-1A. Compulsory courses, regular faculties, core disciplines and elective courses, including
industrial training, are clearly stated in the programme structure. The credit units used in the programme structure
are based on Student Learning Time (SLT) as defined in the MQF and the ETAC manual. The programme structured
design reflects a strong practical and instructional teaching process and learning by completing each lecture on
technical courses with practical sessions in labs or workshops. Non-engineering and engineering courses for each
semester are shown in Table C3-1C. The credit distribution according to the course component is shown in Table C3-
1B. In line with the practice of TVET, the programme must have a minimum 50% practical content in the discipline
course as shown in Table C3-1D.

CRITERION 2 PROGRAMME LEARNING OUTCOME

C3-2 Discuss the programme delivery and assessment methods and how these are appropriate to, consistent
with, and support the development of the range of intellectual and practical skills and attainment or
achievement of the Programme Outcomes.

B. Delivery Methods

The DEP programme uses the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach as a learning model in the
curriculum. This educational approach encourages interaction between lecturers and students as it requires
active participation from students. The method of presentation using the OBE concept focuses more on
student-centered learning (SCL) in which students are encouraged to participate actively in classroom
learning. SCL requires students to be more responsible and independent in learning process. The strategy
towards student-centered learning (SCL) which are:

1. Create learning experiences as well as encourage students engagement in R & D process.
2. Provide opportunities for students to study individually, in groups and in classes.
3. Involve students in shaping the learning process through consultation on the strengths and

weaknesses of the students.
4. Provide students the freedom to make choices about materials, resources and learning activities.
5. Establish monitoring procedures for students to take responsibility for what they are learning.
6. In implementing this approach in an integrated way, this programme applies various methods of

delivery in implementing R & D. This method includes the use of modern technology in classroom
teaching, tutorials, project-based learning in labs and assignments, problem-based solutions, case
studies, seminar presentations, project demonstrations, industrial visits and cooperative learning.

Each course is accompanied by course guidelines with weekly teaching and learning activities. It consists of
course identities and descriptions, teaching analysis, course learning objectives, course results, teaching
and learning methods, as well as course content guidelines, course schedules, evaluation methods, and
support literature lists.

In response to the 'Industry-Based Curriculum' strategy, industrial visit lecturer programme are introduced.
Through this programme, industry practitioners can engage directly in teaching and learning (R & D)
processes by updating the students' knowledge, sharing expertise and experience, exposing the latest
technologies and practices used in the industry and motivating students to succeed.

The OBE approach emphasizes student achievement in terms of knowledge, understanding or ability to
create something or quality that needs to be developed on the student. For that purpose, appropriate
delivery methods have been identified for each course in the DEP and can be refered in Figure C3-2A or
Appendix C3-2A.

C. Practice-Oriented Components

Besides active involvement in learning process, theoritical knowledge of students also be strengthened with relevant
practical skills either workshop or laboratory. The assessment of practical method is based on Bloom's Taxonomy as
shown in Figure C3-2B.

Figure C3-2B: Psychomotor Domain of Bloom’s Taxonomy

Based on Figure C3-2B, the psychomotor domain of Bloom's Taxonomy is arranged according to the ascending order
starting with a low which is perception, set and followed by a higher order that are guided response, mechanism,
complex overt response, adaptation and organization. The Table C3-2A below shows practical activity and assessment
methods implemented.

and virtual learning sessions between lecturers and polytechnic students. The BL element with a combination of
classroom learning carried out in class includes:

a. Video / lecture recording online
b. Electronic notes (e-notes) in pdf, doc, etc.
c. Collaborative learning (forums, collaborative online activities)
d. Collaborative classes (face-to-face learning to carry out activities, tutorials, project-

based learning, etc.)

The Blended Learning Distribution Table (BLDT) is used to implement the Blending Learning practice according to the
requirements of the Student Learning Time (SLT). The Blended Learning Fulfillment Record (BLFR) is a record that
ensures that a course has or has not yet reached a "BLENDED MODE" level. Figure C3-2H or Appendix C3-2G and
Figure C3-2I or Appendix C3-2H shows BLDT and BLFR samples that have been filled and referenced by the course

CRITERION 2 PROGRAMME LEARNING OUTCOME

i. Continuous Assessment (CA)

Continuous assessment is an assessment of every course conducted periodically and continuously within lecture week
per semester in accordance with the rules determined by polytechnics and syllabus content. Learning outcomes are
evaluated through various assessment items such as theoretical tests, quizzes, assignments, presentations,
demonstrations, practical work, lab work, practical tests, reporting and case studies according to the suitability of the
course. The assessment methodology is based on the Table of Assessment Specification (AST) as contained in the
syllabus used.

The AST sample for the DEP5303 Microwave Devices course is shown in Figure C3-2M or Appendix C3-2K.

Figure C3-2M: AST sample for the DEP5303 Microwave Devices

ii. Final Exam (FE)

The final exam is conducted in 2 weeks time at the end of each semester. Evaluation through final
examinations is a cognitive domain assessment (LD1) especially for technical courses. For final
examination assessment, it begins with the development of final examination questions (items).
The Examination and Assessment Division (BPN) will issue an order to the Director of every
polytechnic to produce questions and marking scheme through CIDOS where Head of Programme
is charged to take further action in this question development. Item writers will be appointed
among the lecturers to these items based on Final Exam Item Specification Table (FEIST). An
example of FEIST is shown in Figure C3-2N or Appendix C3-2L.

A workshop will be held by PSIS Examination Unit to evaluate and finalize the items before being
verified by Head of Programme or Head of Department. These items and the marking schemes are
then submitted to coordinator polytechnic as appointed by the JPP. At the coordinator
polytechnic, the items will be once again checked and evaluated for further approval. The finalized
question (item) sets are distributed to the polytechnics through examination officer for the use of
that particular semester’s Final Examination Assessment.

CRITERION 2 PROGRAMME LEARNING OUTCOME

Execution and administration of the examination and evaluation methods are adjusted in
accordance with the guidelines contained in the “Arahan-arahan Peperiksaan dan Kaedah
Penilaian” issued by Bahagian Peperiksaan dan Penilaian (BPN), JPP. For all courses with final
examination assessment, the review script of the student's answer will undergo a moderation
process aimed at creating uniformity in performing the script answer scrutiny. This is part of the
measures taken to ensure quality of learning outcomes are legal, trustworthy, fair, appropriate,
flexible, not forgetting procedures and appraisal are in line with standards, principles and ethics of
appraisal. Assessment modulation involves all summative assessments carried out in the
polytechnic assessment system and implemented according to Moderation Answers Screening of
KPT Polytechnic Handbook for each course which has the final exam. The FEIST sample for the
DEP3273 Communication System Fundamentals course can be shown in Figure C3-2O or Appendix
C3-2M.

iii. Point Evaluation System

The KPT polytechnic evaluation system used is based on the quantitative method of student performance in a
program known as the “Sistem Nilaian Mata” (SNM). According to SNM, student performance for a course is based on
Grade System where student achievement is assessed using two measurements:

a. Average Points Value (PNM) or Grade Point Average (GPA); and
b. The Average Value Points (HPNM) or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

iv. Grade System

The scores obtained by the students in a course will be given points and grades according to the group as in the
following Table C3-2D:
