Towards Model-Based Evaluation Process of Learning Outcomes in Academic Institutions

Academic institutions are enhancing their learning outcomes through quantitative and qualitative assessments and feedback. A typical approach of assessments is paper-based defined in a form of word documents and spreadsheets that describe the process of evaluating students' achievements. This may cause confusion in analyzing the learning outcomes, lack of clarity, and subject to different interpretations by academic constituencies. This paper proposes a model-based approach to generate goal models for the learning outcomes, augmented with quantitative indicators. These models are used to improve the assessment process, evaluate the learning components in a formal way and allows the assessment at different level of academic institutions.
