Implementation of learning outcome attainment measurement system in aviation engineering higher education

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the effectiveness of the Learning Outcome AttainmentMeasurement System in assisting Outcome Based Education (OBE) for Aviation EngineeringHigher Education in Malaysia. Direct assessments are discussed to show the implementationprocesses that become a key role in the successful outcome measurement system. A case studypresented in this paper involves investigation on the implementation of the system in AircraftStructure course for Bachelor in Aircraft Engineering Technology program in UniKL-MIAT.The data has been collected for five semesters, starting from July 2014 until July 2016. Thestudy instruments used include the report generated in Learning Outcomes Measurements System (LOAMS) that contains information on the course learning outcomes (CLO) individual and course average performance reports. The report derived from LOAMS is analyzed and thedata analysis has revealed that there is a positive significant correlation between the individual performance and the average performance reports. The results for analysis of variance has further revealed that there is a significant difference in OBE grade score among the report. Independent samples F-test results, on the other hand, indicate that the variances of the two populations are unequal.
