Comparative Study on The Results of Student Assessment Data Developed by SURE Model

Abstract

The Mongolian University of Science and Technology collects information (data) related to teaching methods and learning environment using a brief questionnaire from each student each semester. The data collected via questionnaires should be used for analysis of education activities, as well as development of policy level measures directed to improve education quality and teaching methods. However, as was observed by teachers, there is still an insufficiency in development of collected data and actions taken based on the results. In order to conduct comparative study within the framework of this issue, one module was taught by the same teacher (Theoretical mechanics 2) and other three different subjects (Mathematics 1, Information Technology 1, Theoretical Mechanics 1) were chosen, which are selected by most of the students, and ultimately processed the results with the use of the SURE model of structure-based evaluation. In this article, a total of 66681 evaluation data were provided by students who completed general education courses, professional foundation courses and other specialized courses at three schools (School of Industrial Technology, School of Mechanical Engineering and Transportation, School of Information and Telecommunication Technology) under the MUST, and these data were processed with the use of evaluation model mentioned above and the results were compared with the outcomes of previous study.
