| Summary: | Learning outcomes are statements on what learners should know, understand
and be able to do upon successful completion of a course. Achievement of
learning outcomes is an important criterion for a programme to be accredited by
the Malaysian Qualifications Agency. Evidence from teaching and learning
evaluation needs to demonstrate that the learning outcomes have been
achieved. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the learning outcomes of a
final year master’s project according to the course learning outcomes and
learning domains determined by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency. This
evaluation is carried out by analysing the feedback provided by supervisors and
learners. The survey which was administered for postgraduate learners in the
academic session of 2018, measured to what extent the completion of the
course met the learning outcomes and fulfilled the learning domain skills
stipulated. To strengthen the evidence, the results obtained from the master’s
project report awarded by supervisors and reviewers were compared according
to chapters, programme and learning outcomes. The findings were discussed
to highlight concerns, strengths and weaknesses based on the evaluation.
Several recommendations for continuous improvement and support were
proposed to improve the quality of the course and achievement of the learning
outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHORS]
