DIPLOMA-FINAL

A. Please follow this step-by-step procedure:
1. In the top most row, write the 17 PLOs.

2. Below the PLOs, write all PIs. Each column should only contain 1 PI.

3. In the third row, write the PIs corresponding functions (I, E, or D).

4. Insert a column on the left, label this as “Course Title” then write all courses includ-
ed in the program.

5. Insert another column on the right of the “Course Title” column. Label this as “PLOs
Satisfied”.

6. Match each course with the PLOs that they are meant to satisfy. If you think the
course is contributory to the attainment of the PLO, write the PLO number on the
column “PLOs satisfied”. A course may be contributory to multiple courses, but each
course has its focus. Please write only the PLO number of the PLO where it has sub-
stantial contribution to.

7. Insert another column to the right of “PLOs Satisfied”. Label this as “Course Out-
comes”, then write all course outcomes of each course in column 1. Each row should
only contain 1 CO.

8. Insert another column to the right of “Course Outcome” column. Label this as
“Function of CO”.

9. Identify the function of each CO.

10. Analyze the function of each course outcome based on the course details based on the
course specifications. Ask the following questions:
10.1 Is the CO meant to attain a knowledge or concept? Tag it as “I” for Introduce and write
this tag in the “Function of CO” column beside the CO.
10.2 Is the CO meant to apply knowledge contents to a technology or skill towards the at-
tainment of the PLO? Tag it as “E” for Enhance, and write this tag in the “Function of
CO” column beside the CO.
10.3 Is the CO meant for the performance of the PLO? Tag it as “D” for demonstrate and
write this tag in the “Function of CO” column beside the CO.
Do this for all COs.

11. For each PI, tag the course outcomes that contribute to its attainment or satisfaction.
Do the following steps:
11.1 For PI1, scan all courses that satisfy PLO1(refer to “PLOs Satisfied” column).
11.2 Analyze each course outcome of the courses that are identified to be matched with the
PLO. Tag each CO on the column for PI1 based on its identified function (refer to “Function
of PI” column”).
11.3 Do steps 1 and 2 for all 82 PIs.
Note: If a CO is tagged as “I” all tags within the row should be “I” only.

12. Analyze the results.
For PIs that are tagged as Is, there should be at least 1 CO that Introduces the PLO

through the PI; There should be at least 1 CO that enhances the PLO through the attainment
of the PIs that are tagged E; and there should be at least 1 CO that demonstrates the PLO
through the attainment of the PIs tagged as D.

Mark all PIs that are not correspondingly attained by the COs. If the sum of COs that In-
troduce PIs tagged as Is equals 0; the sum of COs that Enhance PIs tagged as Es equals 0, and;
the sum of COs that Demonstrate PIs tagged as Ds is equal to zero, these PIs are not corre-
spondingly attained.
13. List down all PIs that are not correspondingly attainable through the COs. These are
the gaps.

14. Data Analysis
If COs are contributory to the attainment of a PI as tagged (I, E or D), then the PI is said

to be attainable through the COs. The number of PIs correspondingly attainable through the
COs divided by 82 is the percentage of alignment to the PIs of PQF Level 5.

If all the PIs of a PLO is correspondingly attainable through the COs, then the PLO is said
to be fully attainable. The number of attainable PLOs divided by 17 is the percentage of
alignment of to the PLOs of PQF Level 5.

Ideally, the percentages of alignment of PIs and PLOs should be equal to 100%. If not,
there are gaps which need to be addressed, hence an action plan for alignment is needed.

Manual for the Evaluation of PQF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs revised as of May 2022 51

B. Analysis of Results

1. Using “Countif” excel formula, count the number of “Is, Es and Ds” in each PI column.

Syntax : =COUNTIF(range of cells,"I") for Is

=COUNTIF(range of cells,"E") for Es

=COUNTIF(range of cells,"D") for Ds

2. Identify the PIs that are not correspondingly satisfied.

All PIs have corresponding functions (I, E or D) as identified in page 4-11 of this docu-
ment. PI1 of PLO1, for example has an “I” function and PI8 under PLO 2 has an “E” func-
tion. For the PI to be attained, there should be at least 1 CO tagged as “I” to satisfy it. If
in the column for PI1, the count of “Is” tagged with COs is zero (0), then it is “not corre-
spondingly satisfied” even if there are “Es” or “Ds” tagged with the PI.

This step should have an answer for each of these items:

PIs tagged as “Is” satisfied = ___

PIs tagged as “Is” satisfied = ___

PIs tagged as “Is” satisfied = ___

Total number of PIs satisfied = _____

3. Count the number of PLOs satisfied. A PLO is satisfied by the COs if all PIs of the PLO are
satisfied. If at least 1 of the PIs is not satisfied, the PLO is considered not satisfied. This is
a gap.

4. Compute the percentage of alignment. The percentage of alignment of a Diploma course is
computed in two ways.

a. Divide the number of PIs satisfied by 82. The quotient multiplied by 100 will be
the percentage of attainment of PIs and the whole program.

Ex. 75 number of PIs satisfied = 0.9146 x 100 = 91.46%
82 total number of PIs

b. Divide the number of PLOs satisfied by 17. The quotient multiplied by 100 will be
the percentage of attainment of PLOs and of the whole program.

Ex. 15 number of PLOs satisfied = 0.8823 x 100 = 88.23%
17 total number of PLOs

5. Using these results, fill-up “Table 6. Summary of Results: Percentage of PIs Satisfied” and
“Table 7. Overall Summary of Results: Percentage of PLOs satisfied”

Manual for the Evaluation of PQF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs revised as of May 2022 52

C. Addressing the Gaps
Write down all PIs that are not satisfied using “Table 11. Strategies for Aligning the Di-
ploma Program through the PIs”

Strategies for aligning the Diploma Programs
1. Revise to enhance course outcomes.
2. If course outcomes are not learner-centered and smart, tendencies are, they will not
be mapped with the PIs.
3. If course outcomes are not indicative of knowledge and skills to be covered, revise the
course outcomes statement if the contents as per course specifications/syllabus speci-
fy it.
4. Add course outcome

• In case the course coverage and learning activities in the course specification/
syllabus indicate the attainment of a course outcome, you can add a CO to satisfy
the PIs.

5. Add a course

• If items 1 and 2 is not possible, courses should be added to satisfy the PIs.
