Programme Evaluation

All of our GE courses are designed with an Outcomes-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) approach. To enhance the quality of student learning and assure the attainment of stated intended learning outcomes in the GE Programme (PILOs), we have undertaken the process of assessing GE courses and the Programme as a whole, i.e. GE PILOs Assessment, through which we hope to:

  1. collect evidence on the quality of teaching and learning for course review;
  2. assist faculty in developing quality-assured GE courses and implementing effective assessment methods on students’ outcome;
  3. identify good teaching practices and areas for improvement;
  4. create sharing culture of effective and innovative pedagogical practices; and
  5. encourage faculty development for betterment of course delivery.

To achieve the above objectives, the GE Programme Evaluation Exercise includes:

  1. Collection of Students’ Coursework

    capturing students’ learning capability and evaluate the attainment of GE PILOs.

  2. Course Feedback Questionnaire (CFQ)
    collecting feedback on the teaching and learning effectiveness on GE courses.
  3. GE Programme Completion Survey

    collecting opinions about pedagogic efficiency and learning experience from students who completed the new GE Programme.

  4. Student Learning Experience Questionnaire (SLEQ)

    from Centre for Holistic Teaching and Learning to solicit views from students on their expectations and actual experience with the University, including their satisfaction level towards GE courses.

  5. Service-Learning Learning Outcomes and Experiences Survey

    gauging student developmental impacts arising from SL and SLE courses across different learning domains by using Service-Learning Outcomes Measurement Scale (S-LOMS), as well as to collect student feedback regarding their service-learning experience.

  6. Survey on Student Experience of Special Education Needs (SEN) Service and Campus Inclusivity

    collecting SEN students’ feedback about their experience in the GE Programme, with a special focus on UCHL courses.

  7. GE Comment Box
    encouraging students to give comments on GE courses and reflect their GE experiences inside and outside of the classroom.

 

 

Besides, the GEO office offers a number of ways to assist faculty in improving the delivery of GE courses:

  1. Sharing of Findings

    evaluation reports and feedbacks given to GE instructors for further course enhancement.

  2. Course Reflection Exercise

    selected GE courses are visited for better understanding of how students are engaged and perform in response to teachers’ pedagogical approach. After class observation, further communications are made through post-class consultations and meetings.

  3. Good Teaching Practices Sharing

    good teaching practices and experiences by GE instructors with written statements and videos, shared on GE website to cultivate quality teaching.

  4. GE Teaching Award

    as an annual recognition to faculty members with outstanding teaching performance and devotion in GE courses.

  5. GE-related Publications
    information/ articles/ journal papers related to GE are posted on GE website for promoting GE and enhancing the teaching of GE courses.
  6. Workshops, Seminars, Conferences and Retreats

    teaching experiences are shared in GE activities and documented on GE website.
