A Case Study on Measuring Course Learning Outcomes in Software Engineering Education;

Abstract

One of the most critical outcomes in the MÜDEK accreditation system which plays an important role in the evaluation and assessment of the quality of education in higher education institutions is evaluating how much students have achieved the course outcomes. This study aims to compare two methods utilized to measure course outcomes in the Software Engineering department of Atilim University. In the most general sense, these two methods are based on indirect and direct measurement techniques. The results of the analysis show a high degree of differentiation between the direct measurement and indirect measurement results. In light of the results obtained, some recommendations have been offered for course outcome assessment methods to be developed in the scope of MÜDEK accreditation.
